Thank you to everyone who joined us for Stroll’s first customer appreciation event at DoG Distilling Company, located at 3773 East Powell Rd in Lewis Center, Ohio. This charming distillery, housed in a beautifully renovated 1800s schoolhouse, opened its doors in June 2025 and welcomes both guests and their dogs.

DoG Distilling Company was founded by two local couples—Wes and Kelly Stark, and Kevin and Lauri Webb—friends who share a passion for great spirits and great dogs. Their name, “Distillers of Galena (DoG),” pays tribute to their roots in Galena, Ohio. The friendly white dog featured on the logo and bottles represents Brinley, the Webb family’s white German Shepherd.

Inside the restored schoolhouse, visitors will find a cozy speakeasy-style space where the team hosts mixology classes and private events. Just behind it sits the Still House Bar, which is directly connected to the distillery. Through a large glass viewing window, guests can watch their state-of-the-art German copper Kothe still at work. This is where they recently crafted their first DoG Vodka, made from blue heirloom corn. Gin production is next on their list, followed by their own bourbon and whiskeys—currently sourced from nearby distilleries. Public tours and tastings are expected to launch in the New Year.

The bar serves a selection of house-made spirits alongside offerings from other local distilleries and breweries. Visitors can enjoy delicious pizzas from Cheshire Market, plus a variety of appetizers and desserts. Outdoor spaces include a dog-friendly covered patio for year-round use and an open patio with a cozy fire pit.

We want to thank DoG Distilling Company along with Kelly Stark and Sydney Webb for hosting our event.  For menu updates, class offerings, and more, visit www.dogdistillingcompany.com or check out their Instagram page.
