The Club met last week, at the site of Norris town's;s newest business, The Five Saints Distillery. Located in the old Humane Fire Company, the distillery, which currently produces unique offerings of white whiskey, and vodka, has plans to expand to additional products in the near future, and is upgrading the facility to allow for dining, and special events. Founder John George (far left) shared his path to this project from farming in upstate New York, being raised by a group of five family members (thus the name Five Saints), who gave him the encouragement to first go into the pharmaceutical industry, and later to undertake this project. He got the distilling bug a few years ago and attended " Moonshine University" to learn the tricks of his new profession, searched for an appropriate site, and set out to carry out his dreams. The old firehouse became available and John decided that this location would be great for business and help bring new life to downtown Norristown.
