Deep in Bucks County, where the cornfields still outnumber the strip malls, Warwick Farm Brewing has spent the last decade quietly earning a reputation among guys who know their beer. The kind of place you drive a little out of your way for, grab a pint of something dark and chewy, and leave with a growler or two. Now the same crew that’s been nailing imperial stouts and hazy IPAs is stepping into an entirely different game: whiskey. Real whiskey. Made right there on the farm.
Come Black Friday, the doors open and the first bottles hit the counter. No middleman, no big distributor trucks, just Warwick Farm’s own bourbon and rye, blended, aged, and bottled in the back rooms that used to hold nothing but grain sacks and kegs.
Here’s what’s walking out the door that day:
- Small Batch Bourbon
- Single Barrel Bourbon
- Small Batch Rye Whiskey
- Single Barrel Rye Whiskey
Four different labels, all born on the same property. The single-barrel stuff is exactly what it sounds like: one barrel, hand-picked, no blending to hide anything. If you’ve ever cracked open a private select from Kentucky and thought, “I wish I could get this kind of character closer to home,” this is the Pennsylvania answer.
They’re not stopping there. The distillers are already playing with double-barrel finishes, weird woods most places won’t touch, and dumping new-make spirit into barrels that just held their big, sticky imperial stouts. Anyone who’s had a stout-aged bourbon knows that chocolate-coffee roar those barrels can give. Warwick Farm basically has an unlimited supply of them.
And because these guys never met a project they couldn’t expand, they’ve got house-made vodka coming too. Right now it’s sitting in tanks, but by 2026 they plan to turn it into ready-to-drink cocktails (think real iced tea that actually tastes like tea, or a Moscow Mule done right). No seltzer water nonsense, just grown-up cans you can throw in the cooler for a Eagles tailgate or a weekend on the boat.
For now, every bottle is to-go only. You pull up to the brewery in Jamison, walk in, pick what you want, and take it home. They’ve already said select bars and restaurants will start carrying it down the road, but if you’re the type who likes being first in line, Black Friday is your shot at the very first release.
This isn’t some marketing stunt from a brewery trying to chase trends. The owners have been laying pipe for years (literally and figuratively), installing stills, sourcing local grain, and aging barrels while the beer side kept paying the bills. The same water that makes their porters taste round and full is now going into the mash. Same attention to detail, just a longer wait between mash tun and bottle.
If you’ve ever stood at a liquor store shelf staring at rows of bourbon that all taste the same, here’s something different. A local outfit that’s been feeding you great beer for years is now asking you to trust them with your whiskey glass. And from everything coming out of those barns in Bucks County, they’ve earned that trust.
Black Friday. Warwick Farm Brewing. Bring a buddy, grab a couple bottles, and see what happens when a bunch of brewers decide it’s time to make the brown stuff too. Chances are you’ll be back for the next release… and the one after that.
