Lancaster Distilleries opens tasting room in Columbia

Lancaster Distilleries has opened its tasting room in Columbia where it eventually plans to move its production.

The new Columbia tasting room at 230 N. Fourth St. has seating for around 50, including at a small bar. The shop offers a full-service bar featuring cocktails and a small food menu. In addition to bottles of Lancaster Distilleries spirits, the shop also sells a variety of cocktail accessories and mixes.

The space includes a separate game room where there are pool tables, shuffleboard and darts.

The roughly 1,000-square-foot tasting room is connected to a 7,500-square-foot warehouse that will eventually become the new production area for Lancaster Distilleries.

Columbia Boys Basketball Team Preview for 2023-24

Coach: Kerry Glover (eighth season, 110-61 career record).

Last season: 7-1, league, 20-6.

Top players lost: Daezjon Giles, Aiden Miller.

Top players returning: F Brelon Miller, G Artie Poindexter, G Jordan Poole.

Outlook: Columbia’s formula hasn’t changed. The Crimson Tide is going to play fast, try to force turnovers and turn it into a hectic pace. It works because Columbia has the personnel to make it work. “Teams can’t really keep up with us,” Poole said. “It makes it harder for them. We don’t have a lot of size so we have to do that.” Poindexter runs the show and plays tough defense. Miller and Poole could be the 1-2 scoring punch. Columbia finished tied with Lancaster Mennonite for first in Section Four and has posted back-to-back 20-win seasons. The expectation is for more of the same. “We have a lot of experience back,” Miller said. “We have that great chemistry. We’ve been playing together since we were young.”
