PEORIA, Ill. — When Black Band Distillery opened in Peoria’s Warehouse District in 2020, owner Chris Ober didn’t expect a pandemic to hit.
When COVID-19 did hit, Ober started producing hand sanitizer since it was so hard to find at the beginning stages of the pandemic.
“We knew there was a great need to do so,” said Ober. “Through a lot of diligent work, we found the supplies needed to produce [hand sanitizer].
“We produced several thousand gallons.”
Since the distillery was not able to be open due to mitigations, Ober said they could help and be of service to the community.
