DETROIT (WWJ) -- The bar on the Pepsi Porch inside Comerica Park has a new look.
The Tigers and Coppercraft Distillery announce Tuesday a multi-year sponsorship that includes branding of Comerica Park's right field bar and Coppercraft Distillery signage featured at the ballpark's Bourbon Bar. The Coppercraft Distillery Bar, located on the Pepsi Porch in right field, offers a fantastic view of the ballgame, and boasts outdoor lounge seating, fire features and a number of high definition televisions to create the ultimate fan experience.
Coppercraft, founded in Holland, Mich., on the state's west side in 2012, was one of the first licensed distillers in the state. The company has announced "significant expansion plans for the Detroit metropolitan area in recent months," according to a press release.
Coppercraft products are now available at more than 260 retail locations across the metro Detroit market.
"This agreement advances our long-term growth strategy, which includes expanding awareness of the Coppercraft brand throughout the Detroit metropolitan area and the State of Michigan," said Coppercraft director of sales Brandon Joldersma. "Fans can now enjoy watching Tigers games from a unique vantage point at the Coppercraft Distillery Bar in right field, and at a dedicated Bourbon Bar on the main concourse."
Coppercraft has won numerous awards since its founding. The brand's Straight Bourbon Whiskey recently earned the highest score among a field of 200 spirits at the USA Spirits Ratings competition. The distillery was also selected as the Michigan Bourbon Distillery of the Year at the 2018 New York International Spirits Competition.
The company operates a full-service restaurant and bar at its distillery in Holland, Mich., as well as a tasting room just south in Saugatuck.
