Hewn Spirits sits in the heart of Peddlers Village in New Hope, Pennsylvania, bringing craft distilling to this historic shopping and dining destination along the Delaware River. Founded by Bob Cassell, a former corporate executive who traded his business suit for copper stills, the distillery opened its doors in 2018 after years of planning and navigating local regulations. The name “Hewn” reflects their commitment to handcrafted spirits, much like the hand-hewn beams found in the historic buildings throughout Bucks County. They produce bourbon, rye whiskey, gin, and seasonal spirits in small batches using traditional methods combined with modern precision. The distillery occupies a custom-built space designed specifically for both production and visitor experiences, featuring floor-to-ceiling windows that let you watch the entire process unfold. What started as Cassell’s retirement project has evolved into a destination that bridges New Hope’s artisan tradition with Pennsylvania’s growing craft spirits movement.
