Cedar Ridge to Expand Swisher Distillery Doubling Whiskey Output
Cedar Ridge Winery and Distillery in Swisher will invest about 2 million dollars over 18 to 36 months to expand the stillhouse add equipment and build a whiskey aging warehouse. The move would raise production from four to eight barrels daily and storage from 3 000 to 7 000 8 000 slots. The Iowa Economic Development Authority awarded 86 250 dollars in tax credits and refunds in exchange for creating six jobs paying at least 24.32 an hour. The expansion could be the distillery's last on its Swisher site with future growth considered in Cedar Rapids or elsewhere for whiskey if needed.
