Utah-based Outlaw Distillery expands with acquisition of Arizona-based distillery and tasting room.

Midvale, UT — [June 5, 2025] — Midvale-based craft distillery, Outlaw Distillery, founded in 2015 and known for its grain-to-glass approach and community-driven values, has expanded to Arizona with the acquisition, and subsequent rebranding, of Tempe-based distillery Adventurous Stills.

Outlaw Distillery’s expansion to Arizona marks a bold new chapter uniting two (2) craft distilleries under a single name and expanding operations across state lines. Building upon over a decade of success in Utah and now with production facilities in both Midvale and Tempe, Outlaw Distillery is set to become a leading player in the southwestern spirits scene.

“Small batch just got a little bigger,” said owner Tyler Halstead. “I am incredibly proud of the foundation of success we have achieved in Utah and with our expansion to Arizona we look forward to representing the best of Utah to a wider market.”

Outlaw Distillery will continue producing its signature lineup of whiskey, rum, vodka, and gin, while introducing new innovations made possible through the combined strengths of both facilities. The operational synergies eliminate production bottlenecks that had previously limited growth, allowing for greater creative flexibility and improved supply.

“Adventurous Stills built an incredible reputation as a true grain-to-glass distillery making some of the most creative, you might even say ‘adventurous’ spirits. The opportunity that comes with owning and operating two distilleries, in different states, gives us an incredible competitive
advantage,” added Halstead. “This move further establishes our foothold as a premium craft spirits brand in the Southwest.”

While Utah offered a great environment for making whiskey, Arizona’s favorable liquor laws, dynamic market, and deep appreciation for craft beverage culture has Outlaw Distillery poised for a fresh wave of community engagement, local partnerships, and regional expansion—now
with expanded capacity and a broader distribution footprint.

The future is bright and Outlaw Distillery has clearly established it place in the craft spirits scene.
