Warehouse Distillery is owned and operated by the Setzer family. Ron, Stephanie, Andie and Baillie are a close knit, hard-working family, born and raised right here in Catawba County. 

With a desire to bring new business to our hometown and an appreciation for well-crafted booze, Warehouse Distillery was born in May 2015. Over the next three years, blood, sweat, tears and a myriad of curse words were poured into the renovations and paperwork. Despite a few frustrations along the way, we look forward to the joys and frustrations of the future and are thrilled to bring the first craft distillery to our hometown of Newton, NC. Our mission when we established Warehouse Distillery was to cultivate a passion for craft spirits and empower future generations of entrepreneurs. We aim to uphold that mission, for the love of booze.  ​
