All about Devils Backbone
Devils Backbone Award-Winning Spirits & Ready-to-Drink Cocktails from the Blue Ridge Mountains
Devils Backbone Brewing Company was founded by Steve and Heidi Crandall, who, inspired by a craft beer they sampled at a brewpub during a ski trip in the Alps, set out to create a local destination serving craft European-style beers. They named it Devil's Backbone, after the rugged mountain region associated with early surveyors, including Thomas Jefferson's father, Peter.
Based in Lexington, Virginia, at the foot of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Devils Backbone has grown from a local brewpub into a nationally recognized brand with an award-winning portfolio of spirits and ready-to-drink cocktails.
In 2016, Devils Backbone Brewing Company was acquired by Anheuser-Busch. Since then, the company has continued producing award-winning beers and expanding its reach. Today, Devils Backbone Distilling Company extends that same passion into handcrafted spirits and its SMASH canned cocktail lineup, designed for outdoor and social occasions.
The Story Behind SMASH: The Original Vacay in a Can
Devils Backbone Distilling Company SMASH Cocktails were originally produced in Roseland, Virginia. These canned vodka cocktails feature real citrus, fruit juice, and vodka, creating a refreshing ready-to-drink experience.
SMASH cocktails are made with real spirits, real fruit juice, and light carbonation, offering a crisp and refreshing alternative to traditional seltzers.
