The Dread River Distilling Co. is a distillery, brewery, winery, tasting room and event space located in the former Peck & Hills furniture company building at 2400 7th Avenue South. The business' name makes reference to the stories of an "underground river" flowing across the city.

Partners in the business, which raised $1.8 million in capital, include John Cubelic and Jeffrey Dugas. Carl White is the head distiller and Michelle Piechowicz is the head brewer. The redevelopment of the 24,000 square foot building was awarded $77,000 in tax abatements from the Birmingham Industrial Development Board. Rives Construction performed the renovation work.

During the 2022 Honda Indy Grand Prix Dread River introduced a 90-proof, bourbon-style corn/wheat/barley whiskey, aged for 2 years and finished in rum casks.
