ARKVILLE, NY (April 3, 2024)– Union Grove Distillery, in Arkville, NY, is pleased to announce that owner and distiller Brian Mulder will appear on Discovery Channel’s Moonshiners: Master Distiller. Three distillers from across the United States compete to wow the judges and become Master Distiller. The show follows the competition as legal and outlaw distillers put their skills to the test to win over the judges. Brian Mulder was approached to compete on the show through a casting agency, and with a very short turnaround time, found himself in Tennessee competing with the best distillers in the nation. “Being on the show was a whirlwind of mashing, distilling, and picking still parts from the shed and assembling them to use. I had never used a backwoods 30 gallon copper still before so going on the show was a bit trepidatious,” Brian shared. “My fellow competitors were awesome guys who shared their experience of working with these small 30 gallon backwoods open flame stills. It was still a competition that we all wanted to win but we shared what we knew with each other as well as a few still parts, yeast, or any other item that could be of use.”
Brian Mulder’s TV debut with Moonshiners: Master Distiller is scheduled to air on April 16th at 10:07 pm on Discovery Channel. Union Grove will host a screening party for the episode a few days later on Saturday, April 20th at 7:30pm. During the event enjoy spirits, craft cocktails, local beer, and wood-fired pizza. Watch how the episode unfolds and find out who won over the judges with their masterful moonshine!
