New Distillery Opens in Norristown

NORRISTOWN, PENNSYLVANIA —Five Saints Distilling and International Spirits opened its doors Saturday night after two years of work.

“We’ve been working over two years developing this unique micro-distillery. Our premium, small batch, hand-crafted spirits are ready to go. We look forward to our visitors enjoying and sharing the spirits together,” John Robert George,founder/distiller, said in a press release.
