Full Throttle Distillery & Smokehouse opened in downtown Branson at 116 E. Main Street on January 29 at 7 a.m. The location includes a full coffee bar and breakfast menu.
Founded by the legendary Michael Ballard, who gained fame as the owner of the Full Throttle Saloon, this Full Throttle Distillery carries forward his spirit of adventure, passion for motorcycles, and love for finely crafted spirits.
“We're proud to bring the Full Throttle experience to Branson,” said David Greenberg, head of operations at Full Throttle Distillery. “We know that Missouri residents take their barbecue seriously. We’ve hired some of the best pit masters in the area and done extensive testing for our recipes to meet the high expectations of Branson residents,” Greenberg added.
Full Throttle Distillery & Smokehouse features bold flavors, great music and good times. The menu, crafted by Greenberg, features rich, savory flavors that pair perfectly with handcrafted spirits distilled by Michael Ballard himself in Trimble, Tennessee.
“We’d been looking for the best location to add a new restaurant, and when we looked at this spot in Branson, I knew it was exactly right,” said founder Michael Ballard. “The Ozarks have a down-to-earth hospitality and passion for living. That lines up with my philosophy to live life full throttle. This is a fantastic place for us.”
Full Throttle Distillery is committed to crafting a diverse selection of top-tier spirits, including moonshine, Sippin’ Creams, aged whiskey, bourbon and vodka. Each spirit uses locally sourced ingredients, chosen carefully to create outstanding flavor profiles.
Each Full Throttle Distillery location is unique in its design, where authenticity is at the center of the brand. The building was designed by Michael Ballard, and the interior features items he handcrafted using a mix of metal and reclaimed wood. The design of each Full Throttle location finds inspiration from its local surroundings and celebration of the Full Throttle way of life.

About Full Throttle Distillery:
Established in 2012 in Trimble, Tennessee, Full Throttle Distillery was founded by Michael Ballard. In partnership with master distiller Dr. Paul Higgs, they both had a commitment to produce premium handcrafted whiskey and moonshine. Their dedication to quality and growing the ingredients themselves led them to expand their operations. Today, they grow their corn just steps away from the distillery’s traditional copper still—ensuring a true grain-to-glass experience.
Full Throttle Distillery has grown into a multi-location powerhouse, with thriving destinations in Trimble, Tennessee; Deadwood, South Dakota; Estes Park, Colorado; and Branson, Missouri, each offering a unique blend of craftsmanship, tradition, and signature Full Throttle flair.
