“A family owned distillery”
New Columbia Distillers is a family business owned by Michael Lowe and his wife, Melissa Kroning and John Uselton and his wife, Elizabeth Lowe.

He retired from the law in 2008, bought himself several cocktail books and started investigating the art and science of distilling. In 2011 John and Michael were the first to bring craft distilling to DC.
