Hood River Distillers Celebrates 90th Anniversary

1934 was the year that Babe Ruth said goodbye to baseball. It wasn’t a great year for criminals – just ask Bonnie & Clyde and John Dillinger – but it was a record-breaking year for It Happened One Night, which won every major category at the Academy Awards. It was also the year that three businessmen from the Pacific Northwest  began making fruit wine and brandies from the over-abundance of apples and pears grown in the Hood River Valley, and Hood River Distillers (DSP-OR-1) was born.
