Offringa — The 2017 United States distillery map is a dated geographic snapshot

Annotation

Map347 uses a single working-distillery category, which obscures brand, bottler, visitor site and actual production distinctions. Stitzel-Weller, Wathen and Templeton require site-specific chronology; HighWestPortCity in353 needs correction before reuse. No current inventory claim or reproduction permission.
