The homepage of BrokenBeakerDistillery.com invites people to “visit the laboratory,” and co-owner and operator Thomas Wysocki says beginning Feb. 25 Indianapolis residents will soon be able to do so.
Broken Beaker Distillery will be located at 643 Massachusetts Ave., and allow patrons to explore elements, molecules and compounds by incorporating alcohol. According to the website, Broken Beaker Distillery will combine mathematics, chemistry and physics to create new alcoholic drinks, and Wysocki says “it is where science meets spirits.”
From science facts on every bottle of booze and and the coasters, to educational posters decorating the facility and periodic table; patrons will be flooded with science facts from the time they enter the distillery. Patrons can also tour the distillery and learn how the master distiller and mixologist work together to create their favorite alcoholic drink. When visiting the distillery, Wysocki says people can expect to learn while they relax.
Owner and operators Thomas Wysocki and Heather Finfrock say their love for science led them to create this new distillery.
“I am a chemist, my wife is an engineer, and we love the corkiness of science. While working at Eli Lilly I got the idea to combine science with a distillery from a coworker that had recently went taken a distillery class in Washington D.C. From then on, I couldn’t let the idea go,” said Wysocki.
“We want you to walk out with at least a Masters degree (in science) when you are done having drinks at our distillery,” said Wysocki.
Wether you have a taste for cucumber infused Vodka, cranberry liquor, apricot brandy, or something totally different, Wysocki says the Broken Beaker Distillery will not only be a place to relax, and learn while you drink, but a place that fosters new discoveries—and they want your help.
“We really want Indianapolis to speak to us about what types of new alcohol they want, and we want to bring that to life,” said Wysocki.
The science-themed distillery has some Indianapolis residents ready to embark on a new science adventure.
“It sounds interesting and I look forward to it coming to town because its different, and we don’t have anything like that in the city,” said Rhiannon Keller, 37, of Indianapolis.
The grand opening is Feb. 25. For more information visit the Broken Beaker Facebook, Twitter, or BrokenBeakerDistillery.com.
