6:00 PM - 9:00 PM Special Evening Event at Steel Tie Spirits Co.

Join us to enjoy a special evening with small-batch spirits and snacks with our hosts from Gerdau.
Celebrate the breezy Florida air, the shade of the palms, and the smell of salt that drifts miles off the shore. Rooted in nature, Florida is a rich source for a high-quality ingredients and an obvious backdrop for our operation.
Our small-batch spirits are carefully flavored using all natural ingredients – no artificial colors, no fillers, no nonsense. Our grains and spices infuse to create distinct profiles, complex aromas and balanced flavors. If it doesn’t grow in the ground, it’s not in our bottles.
The authenticity in our line of spirits is as undeniable as our love of their source – the rich shores of Palm Beach County.
Transportation is on your own.
