Our frequent customers from PA, NY, NJ, MD and all around the states and even Ireland & England simply refer to us as Holy Ghost, as we are much more than a distillery. Although we sell our spirits by the bottle, we also have hand-crafted cocktails, signature Holy Ghost beers, and awesome Holy Ghost experiences for everyone to enjoy.  So come in to Holy Ghost and see what everyone is talking about.

Pet Friendly  –  Everyone  MUST BE 21+ to enter the premises – No Exceptions
