I went on a tour of Maggie's Farm today. They started out up in the strip district of Pittsburgh ten years ago, but last year they moved operations to a new place near Bridgeville. It holds the distillery, bar, restaurant, and retail. Tickets for the tour were $30 and got you a cocktail from the bar, a snifter glass, and tasting from 4 bottles.
Here's the 800 gallon copper pot still which was ordered from Spain:
The view from the bar above. The still didn't fit, so they had to tear out the concrete floor to install it.
Fermentation tanks:
Some of their rum is aged in old bourbon barrels from another distillery in Washington:
Though this barrel caught my eye, because Foursquare is one of my favorite rum distilleries in Barbados:
The canning line, which they use for hard seltzers and prebatched cocktails:
Their original 75 gallon pot still, which is just a show piece now:
Today's tasting from L to R: Coffee liqueur, Falernum (popular in tiki drinks, has a lime and spice flavor), spiced rum, and a sherry cask aged rum:
