A new multi-million dollar craft vodka distillery Bootleg Spirits is heading to Mid City in September, Ian McNulty reports this week. Founders Robbie Vitrano—also a cofounder of Idea Village and Naked Pizza— and Gordon Stewart—a former brewpub proprietor in Glasgow— have tapped private investors to launch the project, with plans to distill up to 150,000 cases of vodka a year inside a 23,000-square foot warehouse at 3918 Gravier.

The duo plan to expand with whiskey production 'down the line' as well. Official website this way.
