About us 

Flatrock Distilling Company is a craft distillery and meadery built on five generations of heritage and heart. Our story begins with our great-grandfather Hugh Sank Pritchard, whose distilling recipe has passed down through our family for over 130 years. That legacy lives in every bottle we make.

We're committed to local sourcing. We work with SchoolHouse Farms for heirloom corn varieties, partner with local beekeepers for honey, and feature seasonal vegetables and ingredients from nearby producers. We age our spirits in premium Speyside bourbon barrels and craft meads and wines with the same attention to quality and tradition. Our 28-SKU portfolio is available across four states through OHLQ agency retailers, and ships direct to consumers nationwide.

In 2026, we relocated to the Davis Building in downtown Toledo to create something new: a gathering place where craft spirits meet community. Our bistro serves New Orleans-inspired cuisine—think beignets, charcuterie, flatbreads, and Nashville hot chicken—alongside our spirits and bar programs, all built on the same local sourcing philosophy. Sporcle Trivia Fridays at 6:30pm keep things lively. We're also home to an expanding barrel cooperage and private wine sales operation.

Our founder, Lawrence A. Pritchard III, competed on Discovery Channel's Moonshiners: Master Distiller and brings decades of business and distillery expertise to the craft. Today, the business is led by our next-generation team, carrying forward the family tradition while building something bold for Toledo's downtown.

Stop by the Davis Building. Taste what five generations built.
