Bittermens

[1] The history of Bittermens dates back to 2007 when Avery and Janet Glasser, while living in San Francisco, were invited to a bitters-making event at the 209 Distillery.

[2] After receiving positive feedback from bartenders in San Francisco, New York and Boston, the Glassers started the process of registering as a Manufacturer of Nonbeverage (Alcohol) Products[3] with the Bureau of Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau.

In 2010, after obtaining all of the necessary federal and state permits, Bittermens started production in a shared commercial kitchen in Somerville, MA.

[7] Later in 2012, Bittermens created and launched Bäska Snaps, a traditional Swedish-style bitter schnapps made with distilled wormwood, which started their foray into producing New Nordic Spirits.

On March 3, 2017, Sazerac Company announced that it had purchased a "significant interest" in Bittermens.
