# What it is

Distillation separates the parts of a liquid by boiling it and condensing the vapor in a still [wiki-distillation]. Liquor, or spirits, are alcoholic drinks made by distilling grains, fruits, vegetables or sugar that have already been fermented [wiki-liquor].

# When and how

Hours, prices and ways to pay differ from place to place. Each listed place's page gives the hours, the phone number and the details its sources state.

# How a place gets on this list

A place is listed when it is locally owned today and would make less sense anywhere else, under the [inclusion rule](/about/inclusion-rule); each page cites at least two sources, and the editor and the [Neighborhood Mayors](/mayors) check new places and corrections [editorial-policy].

# Listed places

1 place listed.

## [Juneau Town](https://littlemilwaukee.com/neighborhoods/juneau-town)

- [Central Standard Craft Distillery](https://littlemilwaukee.com/places/distilleries/central-standard-craft-distillery): Central Standard Craft Distillery at 320 E Clybourn ST in Milwaukee, in Milwaukee County.

# On record

Little Milwaukee builds each record here from public data, such as City of Milwaukee licenses, and files it under this category. A record is not a listing: a place is listed only when it passes the inclusion rule and has its own page.

1 record on file. Full list: [Distilleries on record](https://littlemilwaukee.com/places/distilleries/records).
