Named after the seminal 1936 essay by Walter Benjamin, Art in the Age began in 2008 as the brand home for a line of historically-inspired craft spirits we contract distilled — Root, Snap, Sage and Rhubarb. A bottle and home bar supply shop, tasting room, cocktail bar and event space, the Art in the Age boutique was a unique and innovative enterprise pushing the boundaries of possibilities in the spirits industry.
When we opened our own craft distillery in 2017, we took advantage of Pennsylvania’s changing craft spirit laws to transform Art in the Age into a showcase for the craft spirits we make at our distillery in New Hampshire. We were able to do this by sharing a local PA craft distillery’s retail license.
In 2024, we made the bold move to greatly expand by building our own distillery in PA, just outside of Philadelphia. This will allow us to have 5 retail licenses in PA and do countless events and pop-ups….as well as become a major supplier for the PLCB. Already released, are two new spirits, Dunce Whiskey and Siege of Wolves Spiced Rum. These will soon be available at PLCB Stores, as well as bars and restaurants across the state.
