    Blackbird Distillery moonshine

    Great place. There is a huge selection of moonshine flavors and many other items for sale in the store. The staff was helpful and very friendly. There is a nice outside area where where you can play a game of cornhole or just relax and enjoy a cocktail or slushie. I loved the decor both inside and out. It's the perfect blend of primitive, rustic and humor. Make sure to take it all in, even the restroom has interesting decorations.

    Strongly recommend the iced coffee moonshine!

    Saw the billboard on highway 80 for Blackbirds and decided to see what it's about. The distillery is about a mile and a half from the highway, easy enough to get to. When you arrive, there's interesting silhouettes of blackbirds and vintage items. There was a Blackbirds Distillery cornhole game outside ready to play. They sell them custom made, not sure of the price. As soon as you walk in you're greeted and asked if you've been there before. The young man who greeted me took the time to explain who they are, what they make and the store layout. The store itself is small, rather dark and quaint. There are a LOT of items for purchase such as: moonshine bbq sauces, jellys, underwear, head rags and even hillbilly teeth. This along with signs and sayings up and over the walls. Somehow though, this adds to the charm as it doesn't seem crowded or seedy. You are allowed 3 tiny samples of the moonshine. So choose wisely as there are close to two dozen ready. *interesting tidbit: I was told they vary the proof every couple months/batches just as old moonshiners would have done due to not being able to make it consistent, as they can now with technology. I took my time and sampled my three. Holy cow... strong. I ended up getting a bottle of Chocolate Strawberry corn shine. They also have a fridge with fresh made cheeses reasonably priced. I picked up some buffalo spiced cheese. I did get a giggle... the restroom has signs inside telling folks to hurry up and other bathroom humor. There even was a book available. That days selection was the Beverly Hillbillies. The restroom is disabled accessible, very neat and clean. I'm glad that I stopped. I'll stop again in when they have all the fall flavors that I saw on a brochure! Apple and pumpkin anyone?

    We always stop at Blackbird Distillery when we visit Cook Forest. This visit I picked up some smoked Buffalo Cheddar Cheese. It's so good. Every time I slice off a piece.. my kitchen fills with this Smokey aroma .. so good!! I plan on making homemade mac and cheese with it! We love the cheese and dry goods the distillery offers... so fun. There are picnic tables outside and even corn hole. If you haven't already visited .. what are you are waiting for?! It's an unforgettable place.

    Slushies!

    This place is amazing! We enjoyed our trip to this distillery so much! The people that work here are so friendly! Can't wait to visit again. They have every flavor you could ever want! They're expanding in the summer so I will have to get back there to check it out!! Adorable decor and great moonshine! You won't regret checking this place out!

    Entirely handmade (including hand mashed!), bottled, and labeled. Proof varies by bottle.

    Great spontaneous stop. The owner, last name Black, was very hospitable and energetic. She made us feel welcomed and earned the money we spent. Excellent moonshine! We couldn't sample any meats/cheeses because of Covid, but it gives us an excuse to stop by again. They also offer a variety of pickles and jarred products. Looking forward to our next visit. Very glad to support high quality, local, handcrafted products.

    Great moonshine

    Moonshine. Very quaint and a must stop if you are in the area. Stay away from the sweet stuff. Apple cider moonshine is fantastic

    First thing that has to be said, this moonshine is delicious and smooth. I had the blackbird which is the second strongest shine they have. Unlike most moonshines there is no burn after drinking it. Is it strong? Yes. But very smooth. After talking to the owners son we came to find out that this was the second distillery ever in the state. The offer 3 free samples of there products. All three were different in taste and different in alcohol content. Aside from moonshine they also have jams, smoked meats and cheeses and drink mixes to compliment different moonshines. We settled on the orange cream shine with an orange mix that makes your drink taste like orange cream popsicles. You can't even taste the alcohol but you can feel the warmth. Take some time to talk to the gentleman behind the bar and you'll get some good tips some good offerings based on your taste and some good conversation. The distillery is located only couple of minutes (like 3 minutes) off the interstate.

    Welcome to the Blackbird!

    We try to visit Blackbird Distillery when we go to Cooks Forest. The flavored shine is gret and makes great gifts too.

    I absolutely love this spot in Homer City! Their seasonal drinks are very creative and delicious,…read moreand every drink is less than $10 which is amazing for a graduate student! There's tons of drink options so there is definitely something for everyone and the staff there are very friendly. I love that this place also has another big room apart from the bar with lots of game options like darts, pool, cornhole, etc. I've been to Disobedient Spirits a few times now and it's usually empty every time so you pretty much get the whole place to yourself. I definitely recommend checking this spot out if you are in the area!

    The day shift employee-manager is the worst, worst, worst representation of a great product that I…read morehave ever experienced. She replied with bad attitude, short answers to questions, and no friendliness whatsoever. She kept playing on her cell phone rather than helping us (owner check the cameras). I had to advise her, "You seem to not give a sh#t if you do or don't sell anything (liquor) here." I come here from out of state and this was the second time I've had this experience with her. The first time was in July-2020 with my son. He and I both left without spending one dime and my son swore he'd never return. I, however, tried again with my wife the afternoon of Friday November 13, 2020, and we both had the same experience with the manager. This time, I spent $300+ (receipt attached) but swore I'd forewarn all other YELPers considering a visit. I concluded this employee-manager MUST have a 'connection' to the owner, as NO right-minded business person would keep her around otherwise.

    100 percent the most innovative tasting experience when it comes to moonshine. They have a wide…read moretasty variety and the owners / employees are also welcoming to the point of feeling like family. The attached bar also brings a warm home town inviting atmosphere to the space. Between the events and the warm inviting customer service it is very much a place to feel relaxed. They have a number of exciting events and bands that are fun and inviting for all ages. It's never the type of bar to have any riff raff only good times and smiles. The bartenders are always kind and personable as well. They have a wide selection of different cocktails and also have the option to purchase any moonshine you might fancy at the time. The best way I can describe this place is an environment of coming home. Highly recommend. In addition I know in about a month they will be offering food as well which I'm sure will be to the standard of the rest of the vibe

    What a fantastic place!…read more Randomly found this place on our travels and decided we had to stop in and give it a try! They had live music and a really nice selection of drinks and specials! The prices were super affordable too and there's tons of parking (and it's free)! If you want a special drink not on the menu the bartenders can mix something up for you. Everyone in the bar was friendly and welcoming, felt like a neighborhood bar! If we lived in the area we'd be here all the time! Alsoooooo.... We got super lucky and the owner of the distillery took us on a backstage tour of how they make their moonshine and the history behind the place! Highly recommended!
