Dick Griffin Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 We've just opened Griffin Whiskey, selling Uncle Lum's Whiskeys in Bellefonte PA, and noticed that there is little coordination between the 70 some other distilleries in the state. PA just passed an amendment to its liquor control laws that will have a significant impact on our businesses. Hopefully, this site will provide a on-line gathering place for us.

ethangsmith Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 That would be great! Seems like there's a bunch of folks that have just come into production or will within the next few months. It would be great if the state would create or sponsor a "PA Whisky Trail" or something like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E, I would think that y'all's experience with state sponsored liquor stores in PA would sufficiently dissuade you from any hopes that the "state" would be involved with a "PA Whiskey Trail", at all!

PaulO Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 From what I've heard, for states with state controlled stores, the whiskey trail is to the nearest border (at least for the people that live close enough). But seriously welcome and good luck PA distillers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ethangsmith Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Yea, the PLCB is sort of a joke. But they also have $$$$$$. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fricky Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Based on the new whiskies produced in Pennsylvania that I have tasted, it would have to be called The Pennsylvania Swill Trail. I am not interested in tasting any more "new" Pennsylvania whiskey until it has significant age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark fleetwood Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Welcome aboard! Can you tell us more about your whiskey? As many details as you can spare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gillman Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 (edited) Dick you might consider setting up a Pennsylvania Craft Distillers Association. It can act as a clearing house for this kind of information and lobby. Gary Edited September 19, 2016 by Gillman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
