Fair Game Beverage Company is located at The Plant in the Chatham Beverage District (also home to bmc brewing, Koshu Sake, and Starrlight Mead & Cider). Visit North Carolina’s 13th distillery for tastings and tours. Whether you prefer cocktails or flights, you can sample spirits in the tasting room, including Balancing Act Gin, Amber Rum, and of course, their award-winning Flying Pepper Vodka. Their newest rum, called Province of Carolina, is a blend of artisan rums from North and South Carolina. They also have house-made liqueurs made from seasonal fruits.
Their Tasting Room also features a pantry stocked with North Carolina specialty food products, including a variety of cocktail supplies such as bitters, syrups, and shrubs. Plus, shop shelves of pickles and hot sauces, crackers, caviar, chocolates, peanuts, mustard, and jams. They carry Cackalacky products. All products include signage indicating how far they travelled (many from less than 50 miles away!). Pair your drinks with apps or food from neighbor Kingston 99 Kitchen.
PRIVATE WHISKEY TASTINGS
From souvenir whiskeys made with barrels from your favorite North Carolina breweries, Fair Game’s whiskey distilling operation has evolved significantly over the years, now keeping at least four batches on hand at any time. Complete the experience and book a private whiskey tasting. Participants build their own charcuterie boards with meats, cheese, and pantry items to cleanse the palate between tastings. Throughout the tasting, the head distiller will explain each flavor profile, accompanied by tasting notes. Once the tasting concludes, guests are welcome to purchase a bottle of their own design (including 50/50 batches).
EVENTS
Visit for events. The Plant hosts festivals, conferences, memorials, private parties, corporate gigs, weddings, and more. Fair Game hosts monthly Trivia, Poetry Readings, Open Mics, Improv Theatre, and Irish Music Nights. $10 Tastings are hosted all-day on Tuesdays. Fair Game operates the “Events Bar” in the big building next to its Tasting Room. Whether you want to host a private party in the Wheelhouse or book space for other events, they are happy to accommodate you. Share your idea with them, and they’ll see what they can do to bring it to life.
