Introducing Meadville Rye to the capitol tonight with the Craft Brewers and Distillers caucus. A really great opportunity to represent the heritage of PA Rye from our region.

Gotta be honest. We're totally jealous of everything about Bessemer Distilling's new Rosen Rye. The label. The colors. The topper. The shape of the bottle....the contents. It's so seductive. There's a whole Stacy's Mom vibe going on here.

You might have seen the Tribune's article on GK Visual's documentary telling the story of Pennsylvania Rye Wh***ey. The story is that it's America's first wh***ey, well before bourbon. Meadville Distilling has a small part in that story, and we're grateful for the chance to be a part of it. Like a lot of people we can't wait for that story to be released in 2027. Here's a few behind the scenes pics and a link to the story https://bit.ly/MeadvilleRyeFilm

Thank you to everyone who came out for tonight's Witch Walk. It was nonstop from the minute we opened, and we were a little embarrassed (flattered) by all the comments about The Vault Lounge being the best hang in town. You don't have to spend $$$$ to build a place where others want to be. You just have to focus on being authentic.

We are incredibly excited and blown away to be included in the story of America's first wh***ey. The story of the original mashbill is one part of the story that would not have happened without Conneaut Cellars Winery and Distillery

Last night the Bull Moose team and their families got together for an evening of food and fun. What made even more enjoyable was the chance to share it with Nate, Sean, and Nick from GK Visual out of Harrisburg. Our two agencies have partnered on a couple large projects this year which is what brought them all the way to this side of PA. Over the past year, GK has been filming and producing the documentary Pennsylvania's Pioneering Spirit (Pennsylvania Wh***ey ) which tells the forgotten story of America's first spirit, Pennsylvania Rye Wh***ey, and the people today who have brought back its legacy. That story included the journey of Meadville Distilling's place among the prominent PA distillers through the Gilded Age, its demise through Prohibition, and recent return as a legacy brand which they filmed at The Vault Lounge. Their project was a natural fit as video content providers for our Spirits of PA project where we are responsible for promoting PA's distilled spirits industry. The working relationship has since led to another large (literally) film project for Bull Moose's very first client Tessy Automation (formerly NuTec). We're grateful that the GK crew made the trip and spent the last couple days shooting and interviewing. It's been great working together and getting to know one another over the past year. We're excited about the enormous potential in all of these projects.

Thank you to everyone who came out for the First Friday. We really enjoyed welcoming so many first-timers. Only a few more dates left before The Vault shuts down -- next Saturday's Witch Walk, November's First Friday, and Ladies Day Out. See you then.

An October First Friday calls for something that welcomes the fall. Stop into the Vault Lounge this Friday for our featured cocktail, the Post-Summer Rye—a fall blend of Meadville Rye, sweet apple c***r, fresh lemon juice, maple syrup and Angostura bitters, served over ice with an apple-and-cinnamon garnish.

It’s smooth, lightly spiced and just right for settling into one of Meadville’s most distinctive spaces. Available during October First Friday from 6 to 9 PM at the Vault Lounge. There are only four more nights before the Vault locks up for the winter.
