ABOUT US
OUR STORY
Mountaineer Brothers™ is a West Virginia-based spirits company founded by passionate Mountaineers Tim Kesecker and Michael Greenblatt. Our mission is to craft exceptional, premium spirits that celebrate the beauty, culture, and spirit of West Virginia. At Mountaineer Brothers™, we take inspiration from the traditions of tailgating and the camaraderie of game day to create products that reflect the values and heritage of our home state.
OUR MISSION
The idea for Mountaineer Brothers™ was born in the iconic Blue Lot™, the heart of WVU football tailgating culture. For years, we shared our signature West Virginia Jungle Juice, a bourbon-based cocktail made with apple cider and champagne, with friends and family before every home game. The drink became a beloved tradition in the Blue Lot™ and sparked countless conversations about creating something truly special for West Virginia. Inspired by those moments, we decided to craft our own bourbon that embodied the spirit of our home state.
The name Mountaineer Brothers™ is a tribute to our lifelong friends, current and past. The great times we have had together during tailgates and celebrations inspired us to create a brand that honors the brotherhood that we share.
We started with our flagship product, Blue Lot Bourbon™, which quickly became the top-selling ultra-premium bourbon in West Virginia.
OUR VALUES
At Mountaineer Brothers™, we believe in creating products that bring people together. Whether it’s during tailgating before a big game or around a campfire deep in the mountains, our spirits are designed to enhance those shared moments that create lasting memories. We are committed to quality, authenticity, and staying true to our roots. Our products are crafted with care, and we proudly work with local distilleries to ensure that every bottle reflects the spirit of West Virginia.
