ASHWAUBENON, Wis. (WFRV) – Some businesses around the NFL Draft footprint might be dreading the traffic, while others are ready to put out the welcome mat.
Wausau-based Timekeeper Distillery opened its Green Bay area location about a year ago.

They are all about Wisconsin ingredients and pride themselves on also offering non-alcoholic versions of the craft cocktails.
They share a space with Souper Day and are located between Lambeau Field and Rockers Stadium along Holmgren Way at Marvelle Lane.
Both are extending their hours during the draft to help give them exposure to solidify their presence here.
They’ll hit the ground running on opening day, Thursday, with a special appearance by social media influencer and the creator of WISCO Dive Bar Review. The vodka they make for him will also be available for purchase and autographs.
Special events will continue through Sunday with a 10 a.m. opening each day.
The location across the street from Rockers Stadium is especially convenient on Sunday.
“They have the retired players and celebrities play football across the street. If you choose to come in before or after. We have a wide variety of drinks, including old-fashioned cocktails and Bloody Marys.”
They’ve been stocking up supplies weeks in advance so they’re ready for anything.
“Always check out our Facebook page for event details. We have a lot of pop-ups.”
Since opening up around Thanksgiving last year, the customer based has been growing and they want locals to know they’re just as welcome as the draft visitors to come in and enjoy a taste of the draft and Wisconsin pride.
“For being new to the area, this is really great!”
