ABOUT THIS DISTILLERY

A Working Distillery That Happens to Pour

Wild Bevy Distilling sits on North Berwick Road in Wells, Maine, bringing craft spirits to the southern coast of the state. Founded by husband-and-wife team Todd and Jennifer Berrick, this small-batch operation opened its doors in 2019 after years of planning and preparation. The Berricks converted a former automotive repair facility into their distillery, creating a clean, modern space that focuses on production quality over flashy amenities. They produce vodka, gin, and whiskey using locally sourced ingredients whenever possible, with Todd handling distillation duties while Jennifer manages the business side. The facility houses a custom copper still and focuses on small runs that allow for careful attention to each batch. You’ll find this is very much a working distillery first, with the tasting room serving as a way to share their products directly with visitors rather than the main attraction. The Berricks came to distilling from different backgrounds but shared a passion for creating high-quality spirits using traditional methods combined with modern precision.

WHAT SETS THEM APART

Engineering Precision Meets Coastal Character

What sets Wild Bevy apart is their commitment to staying small and local in an industry that often pushes for rapid expansion. Todd Berrick’s background in engineering shows in their methodical approach to distillation, with detailed records kept for each batch to ensure consistency. They source corn and other grains from Maine farms when possible, supporting local agriculture while creating spirits that reflect their coastal location. The distillery’s size allows them to experiment with different techniques and recipes without the pressure of large-scale production demands. Their gin incorporates some foraged botanicals from the Maine coast, giving it a distinctly regional character that you won’t find elsewhere.

THE VISITOR EXPERIENCE

No Tourist Trap Just Real Craft

Visits to Wild Bevy feel more like stepping into a working operation than a polished tourist destination. The tasting room is modest but welcoming, with windows that let you see into the production area where the magic happens. Todd often leads tours himself when he’s not actively distilling, sharing the technical details of their process with genuine enthusiasm. You’ll taste their current lineup while learning about their ingredient sourcing and distillation methods. The atmosphere is relaxed and educational rather than flashy, with the focus clearly on the spirits themselves rather than elaborate presentations.

IS IT WORTH VISITING

Worth It For Spirit Nerds

If you’re interested in the craft distilling process and enjoy meeting the people behind the bottle, Wild Bevy delivers an authentic experience. This isn’t the place for elaborate tours or fancy cocktail bars, but it’s perfect for spirits enthusiasts who want to understand how small-batch distilling actually works. The intimate setting means you’ll likely have direct access to the founders and can ask detailed questions about their methods. It’s particularly appealing if you’re exploring Maine’s growing craft spirits scene and want to support truly local producers. Don’t expect entertainment or elaborate facilities, but do expect quality spirits and genuine passion for the craft.

⚠️ VISITING TIPS

Call ahead before visiting since this is a small operation and hours can vary based on production schedules. The distillery is located in a somewhat industrial area, so don’t expect scenic rural views, but parking is easy and the location is straightforward to find. Ask Todd about their grain sourcing if you’re interested in Maine agriculture, and inquire about any seasonal botanicals they might be experimenting with for their gin. If you’re planning to buy bottles, they often have limited quantities of their newest releases available only at the distillery. Visit during weekday afternoons when possible, as weekends can get busier and you’ll have more opportunity for in-depth conversations about their process.
