Barley Creek’s Blue Zone Gin Wins Best Gin Martini in America
Awarded Top Honors by the American Distilling Institute
Tannersville, PA (June 26th, 2025) – Barley Creek Brewing Company is proud to announce that its Blue Zone Gin has been awarded Best Gin Martini in America by the prestigious American Distilling Institute (ADI).
Named after the famed “Blue Zones”—regions of the world known for the happiest, healthiest, and longest-living populations—Barley Creek’s Blue Zone Gin is a celebration of well-being and craftsmanship. Infused with cardamom and goji berries, this premium gin boasts a crisp, clean flavor profile that stood out among entries from across the country.
“This award is an incredible honor for our entire team,” said Trip Ruvane, Publican & Co-Founder at Barley Creek Brewing Company. “We created Blue Zone Gin to reflect balance, vitality, and flavor, and it’s exciting to see our vision recognized on a national stage. We extend a heartfelt thank you to our talented team, especially Matt Doughty and Michael Stratton, whose skill, creativity, and dedication helped make this achievement possible.”
The American Distilling Institute is the oldest and largest organization representing craft distillers, and its annual awards are among the most respected in the industry.
Barley Creek invites guests to try the award-winning Blue Zone Gin at its Tannersville brewpub, The Barley Creek Taproom at Pocono Premium Outlets or look for it at select retailers and restaurants throughout the region. It is also available for purchase on BarleyCreek.com.
