Whiskey Master Class:
The Past, Present, and Future of PA Whiske

VIP Discussion Forum - 5:45 PM 

Join Lew Bryson, author of Whiskey Master Class and spirits writer for publications like the Daily Beast, in a VIP guests' discussion forum focused on the history and legacy of Pennsylvania whiskey and what the future may hold for the category.

Pennsylvania was the birthplace of American Whiskey. From its early days on the frontier when grain was distilled in small still houses beside grist mills, to its heyday in the early 20th century when Monongahela Rye was the king of American whiskey- Pennsylvania whiskey has a long and misunderstood legacy. Today, distilleries like Manatawny Still Works benefit from a modern day whiskey renaissance and expand the understanding of what Pennsylvania whiskey can be. It's not just Monogahela rye, folks! Pennsylvania's whiskey history is as full of product diversity and individuality as its new distilleries are today!  

Taste 3 Pennsylvania whiskeys with Manatawny Still Works' chief distiller, Max Pfeffer. Manatawny Still Works takes its name from a creek near the distillery, which the native Lenape Indians called Man'en'tau'wata'wik, or "the place we meet to drink.” At last year’s American Whiskey Convention, Manatawny Still Works’ “Keystone Whiskey” won the 2019 American Small Grain Whiskey Award and their “Peated Straight Malt Whiskey” won the Whiskey Under 4 Years Award of Excellence. See how this distillery’s Pennsylvania whiskey shares common ground with early American whiskey styles and how they break modern traditions with their own new approaches to whiskey making.
