The Face of the Spirit of Adventure
Located in downtown Birmingham, Dread River Distilling Co. is a stunning venue blending craftsmanship and hospitality. With a full-service kitchen, a vibrant bar, and a working distillery on-site, they’re serving up handcrafted spirits, offering tours and tastings, and redefining what a distillery experience looks like in Alabama.
At the heart of this Birmingham operation is a bold and creative force — their distiller, a young adventurer with a passion for pushing boundaries and crafting unforgettable flavors. When he’s not exploring the outdoors with his wife and two young daughters, you’ll find Joshua Goins deep in experimentation mode, conjuring up unique concoctions that redefine what spirits can be.
From distilling their Flagship Bourbon, to launching the Alabama Distiller’s Guild, to producing their very first canned cocktail — the Yellow Hammer Slammer — Joshua brings a spirit of adventure to everything he does. With a bold vision and relentless dedication, he is on a mission to unite Alabama’s distillery scene and to make Birmingham, Alabama stand out on a national stage.
