USA, PA: Broken Goblet Brewing & the Mutual Respect Brewery Collective open a distillery

Broken Goblet Brewing & the Mutual Respect Brewery Collective have added a few more pieces to the mix: a distillery, and a new taproom, Breweries in PA reported on March 1.

“The Mixing Room” is now open full-time and is located directly next door to the brewery. This new 6,000 sq/ft space houses the brand-new distillery, a kitchen, and a new taproom.

We spoke with Kate Sweeney, co-owner of Broken Goblet, to learn more about the space.

The space used to be Key Spirits and a pizza restaurant until Covid and both closed. It was dormant until Broken Goblet took it over, and has been working on it since. The space will be occupied by the Mutual Respect Brewery Collective made up of Broken Goblet Brewing, Trauger Brewing, Lucky Cat Brewing Company, and the soon-to-be-revealed new distilling brand.

Once the distillery is up and running, fans of Mutual Respect will be able to purchase their spirits as well as some other PA-based liquors. The plan is to start with clear spirits – vodka, Gin, and White Rum – and then eventually get into aging spirits, and potentially canned cocktails down the road.

For beer fans who are used to going to the large music venue part of the location, this is the new taproom from now on. It is a space to sit down, enjoy, and relax. What was the original taproom is now called the music room, and will be open for private events and live music ticketed shows.
