Pennsylvania has always been a pioneer in distilling booze with a history dating back to the Whiskey Rebellion. Even with the Prohibition of alcohol from 1920 to 1933 Pennsylvania Distilling chugged along albeit slowly and of course illegally. Prohibition has been over for a long time now, but not until recently has it taken root again. In just over a few years, the number of craft distilleries in the Philadelphia region has increased by more than a dozen, helping to restore Pennsylvania to its once-prominent place in distilling history.
It a good time to be distilling in the Philadelphia Area are here are a few to visit within a 90ish mile area. If I missed something let me know!
