"Du Nord Craft Spirits, located in Minneapolis and owned by former American Craft Spirits Association (ACSA) president Chris Montana, was damaged in the early hours of Friday, May 29, as protests responding to police brutality against black Americans and the killing of George Floyd swept the city. According to the ACSA, several fires were set inside the distillery’s warehouse, triggering Du Nord’s fire suppression system which dumped “more than 26,000 gallons inside the facility over the course of four and a half hours.”

The ACSA has since started a GoFundMe page to assist Du Nord’s recovery, with nearly $50,000 raised at the time of publication, just short of the $60,000 goal. Montana has similarly started a crowdfunding campaign, with his initial goal of $40,000 eclipsed in less than 24 hours."
