A Legacy of Service. A Home for Craft.

The Historic Humane Fire Engine Company. No. 1

Our three-story craft distillery sits proudly on Main Street in the heart of Norristown, Pennsylvania, inside the restored Humane Fire Engine Co. No. 1, a historic firehouse that’s stood for more than a century.

Originally built in 1852, when we began restoring the building in 2014, we uncovered countless artifacts from its firefighting days and carefully wove them into the space you see today.

Every detail, from the tin ceilings to the old fire poles, tells a story of craftsmanship, service, and pride.

Come experience the magic of small-batch distilling in a living piece of Norristown’s history.

We're located at 129 E Main St, Norristown, PA, 19401.

The Distillery is open on Saturdays from 2-6 pm. Enjoy signature cocktails and bottle sales. We welcome you to bring food in from a local vendor, as we do not serve food at this time... so BYOF!
