History
PSU alums, friends, owners Paula Cipar and Kevin Lloyd began talking many years ago about making hooch. In 2012, Kevin fortuitously sat next to someone who was conversant in Pennsylvania liquor law, who mentioned that recently the law had changed. New law made for a very hospitable environment for distillery growth in the state. Shortly thereafter the company was formed and plans to open a distillery developed.
