The interest was sparked at a bachelor party in a San Francisco bourbon bar with buddies. The $100 Pappy Van Winkle flights got them in the door. Drew Storen, born and raised in Brownsburg, started chatting up the owner of Hard Water, asking what his best drink was. That led to A.H. Hirsch 16, which led to an obsession, which led to a dream.
That dream led to a cornfield in Iowa, and 5,000 pounds of the world’s most famous corn being brought to Indianapolis in a U-Haul trailer. Soon, that corn will be in a cocktail, and you could be drinking it in your backyard.
