Ownership
Doundrins is family-owned and operated with owners Nick & Abby Abramovich who are local residents (moved to Madison area in 2017). The owners Ryan Lovejoy, Nick, and Abby Abramovich are Madison/Wisconsin residents.
Local Sourcing
Doundrins specializes in making spirits using real produce and ingredients sourced directly from local farmers and producers as much as possible. They work with local producers to get ingredients for their spirits as much as possible, though some ingredients may require non-local sourcing for unique spirits.
Community Involvement
They host stylish, engaging community events and donate per drink on select specials with proceeds supporting causes such as student college tours. Doundrins is listed as a sponsor of Wisconsin Youth Company, and they keep events lively with a packed calendar including trivia nights, craft workshops, and live music.
Local Workforce
Reviews note the staff is extremely accommodating and friendly with amazing cocktails. Bartending positions offer $10/hr base pay plus tips with benefits including free shift cocktails, free bottles monthly, 25% discount, and free event access, though overall wage/benefits data is limited.
Revenue Retention
They are in hundreds of stores, bars and restaurants around Wisconsin including major chains like Woodmans, Piggly Wigglys, Festival Foods, Total Wine, and HyVee. They ship to 36 states, indicating significant revenue leaves the local community, though their tasting room and local distribution generate local economic activity.
Local Presence
The website uses generic, templated copy repeated multiple times ('A destination craft distillery focused on creating unique spirits') with no owner names, staff mentions, specific local supplier references, or Madison/Wisconsin personality. While it mentions Cottage Grove location and has a tasting room, the corporate-style navigation structure, e-commerce template, cookie policy, and boilerplate language indicate a standard platform rather than locally-crafted content.
