Drink Pie Castle Partners

Drink Pie Liqueurs LLC was founded in 2008 by Travis Hasse, a young Wisconsin entrepreneur. Hasse, whose family owns the historic Missouri Tavern in Springfield, WI, used a recipe handed down from his father to create Travis Hasse's Original Apple Pie Liqueur. The remarkable success of Hasse's Apple Pie Liqueur in its first year encouraged Hasse to introduce a sister brand, Travis Hasse's Original Cherry Pie Liqueur, in 2009.

Drink Pie joined forces with Castle Brands to form Drink Pie Castle Partners in 2010. DPCP has the global rights to produce and market Travis Hasse's Original Pie Liqueurs and Castle Brands has the global distribution rights. “This joint venture gives my Pie Liqueurs a solid base for growth and expansion,” said Hasse. “There's always room for pie!”

Distillerie Franciacorta

Distillerie Franciacorta was founded in 1901 by Luigi Gozio (the grandfather of the three brothers, Giuliano, Antonio and Luigi, who currently run the company) in Gussago, a town in the splendid hilly region of Franciacorta in the Italian Province of Brescia.

Luigi Gozio began distilling according to traditional methods, to much acclaim. In 1930 the founder, whose business had originally been named “Distillerie Gozio”, added the word “Franciacorta” to distinguish himself from many other distillers in the same region who also used the name “Gozio.”

Since then, through three subsequent generations, the company has continued to expand and evolve, while always cherishing and nurturing old traditions.
