Episode 116 – Spring House Spirits – Chris Demars – Randy and Jenn Litwin

This episode features Chris Demars, Randy Litwin and Jenn Litwin of Spring House Spirits.

Sixty years ago Chris’s grandmother taught him how to distill spirits, make wine and brew beer. Chris worked as a nuclear engineer which is kind of like being a distiller. He longed to come back to the family farm and get back to his distilling roots. He pays homage to his grandmothers background by bringing several grains together in the mash bill. This bespoke farm distillery is creating amazing spirits that are full of character and flavor. Each bottle highlights the quality of the process, the local grains, and the connection to the history of the surrounding Chester County community.
