Copper Cannon Distillery sits tucked away on Lyman Way in West Chesterfield, New Hampshire, where Chuck and Lisa Berger have been crafting small-batch spirits since opening their doors. The husband-and-wife team converted a former industrial building into their distillery operation, complete with custom copper stills that give the place its name. They focus primarily on whiskey production, though they’ve expanded their lineup to include vodka and seasonal offerings that showcase their grain-to-glass approach. The Bergers didn’t start as distillers—Chuck brought engineering expertise to the operation while Lisa handles the business side, and together they’ve built something that reflects their methodical approach to craft spirits. They source grains locally when possible and handle every step of production on-site, from mashing to bottling. The operation runs lean, with the couple doing most of the work themselves, which means you’re likely to meet the actual owners when you visit. The distillery offers a genuine behind-the-scenes look at small-scale production, where you can see the entire process in one compact space. The tasting room feels more like visiting someone’s workshop than a polished tourist attraction, which works in its favor. You’ll taste spirits that come straight from the people who made them, with honest explanations of what worked, what didn’t, and what they’re trying next.
