Stoneyard Distillery

Branch & Barrel Distilling

Branch & Barrel Distilling

Variety of Spirits, Liqueurs, and Bitters made from Colorado Beet Sugar Spirits.  Distilled in Dotsero, Colorado.

www.Stoneyarddistillery.com

First,  the most important step with making any alcohol, clean, clean,  clean,  and sanitize.  Then almost 1 ton of sugar, refined from sugar  beets, is  poured into “Twinkie” to heat it and dissolve it into what we  call a  “wash”.  From there it is pumped into one of the 1000 gallon   temperature controlled Fermentors. At this point we add the yeast and a   secret cocktail of very important nutrients to keep the yeast fat and   happy.  2 weeks later we have something that resembles a mix between   Japanese sake, and white wine.  A 10.5% alcohol that actually tastes   quite good.  That is then pumped back into “Twinkie” and heated to boiling, were it will remain for most of the day as we capture and   refine the alcohol vapor that is pushed through our 12 foot tall   distillation column.  Once the heads and tails are set aside, we have   around 40 gallons of high proof Beet Sugar Spirits to use as need to   make the whole lineup of Stoneyard Products.

Tara’s abstract paintings depict the textures and ever-changing colors in the mountains and waterways of Mother Nature’s landscapes; the silence while snowboarding through a snow covered aspen glade, the calm contemplation sitting by a mountain stream, the brilliant colors on the autumn mountain side, rugged mountain terrain and the variable weather conditions that provide naturally vibrant colors and forms.

After many years of painting, I feel confident to work with  resources and in dimensions that I was not aware of initially. I prefer  to work with mixed media: watercolor, pen and ink and I use all kinds of  man made materials, papers and photos I have taken in nature and from  objects. My art is not limited to a certain style but all who know my  work, can recognize my painting by the spirit that it contains."

Tina Hoffer

Marilyn Quigley

Ray Goodluck

“Distinguished Excellence“ category award winner! "Elemental Materials"

Tina    Hoffer is a unique woodworker by blending two of natures alluring    elements; wood and stone. Tina  creates functional, culinary   accessories  with her Cutting Boards, Gathering  Boards, Serving   Platters and  Dipping Trays that will elevate your daily or  special   occasions. 

Tina  meticulously   searches through  arborists’ wood lots looking for the  perfectly   flawed, cracked and knot  filled hardwoods that other  woodworkers pass   by because of these  deficits. She chooses smaller  pieces of wood  that  will be enhanced with  Stone like turquoise, lapis,  malachite or   chrysocolla, and inlays these  into the cracks and voids.  She follows   the Kintsugi method of Japanese art , where broken and  fractured   pottery is mended with gold  or silver dust, there by  restoring the   fragments to a functional and more  beautiful piece.  http://knotswoodandstone.com/

Ray Goodluck

Marilyn Quigley

Ray Goodluck

“Outstanding Emerging Artist“ award winner!

Outstanding Emerging Artist winner goes to Ray Goodluck 

Ray   Goodluck draws inspiration from animals he grew up around and from his   ancestors. From Ray - "Yáh áh tééh. That is greetings in my Native   language. I am from the Navajo Nation. My clan is the 'Mud People' and   born for the 'One who walks around one'.

Before   painting, Ray was an iron worker out of Local 40 in New York City,   where he was the first and only Navajo. In April 2019, Ray was working   on the new Raiders stadium in Las Vegas, when he was injured on the job   site. This injury led to him becoming wheel chair bound, stuck at home   frustrated, &  having nothing to do but watch TV. In May of the  same  year his girlfriend saw this frustration and left out a painting  set  she had got him at Christmas. She hoped it would give him something  to  focus his time on and ease his frustration while in rehab.

It   worked. From this point on, Ray has spent all of his time painting and   focusing his attention on making great pieces of art. Ray’s work has   already been featured in the “Native American Art” magazine, as well  as,  a three page feature in “Western Art Collector”.

As a self  taught artist, Ray is starting to realized his life's passion.

Marilyn Quigley

Deidre Sappington

“Mixed Media Outstanding Innovator“ award winner!

Marilyn's    art is reverse painting on acrylics. Yep, she paints in reverse from    the most forward elements of the piece to the furthest back. This   unique  approach garnered Marilyn our  winner from   ColoradoArtWeekend.com

You  have to   see it in person to truly appreciate its magic. Her work is  inspired  by  the natural beauty that surrounds her home at the base of  the Mt.   Evans wilderness area in Idaho Springs, Colorado. Painting in a  modern   impressionist style, Marilyn's art is infused with brilliant  light  and  color. Her use of textured, bold brush strokes magnifies the  vivid   impressionist style.
