Only a mile from the Port Royal exit off Rt 322 the new Hazard's Distillery is a must stop if…read moretraveling between Harrisburg and State College! This locally owned and operated distillery rivals the products made by the large producers. We recently stopped by and sampled their moonshines and whiskeys and were very pleased with the quality of their product. Hazard's make four flavors of 40 proof moonshine: peach, root beer, apple pie, and blackberry. All these had a nice balance between flavor, consistency, and alcohol levels. Hazard's moonshines are not syrupy sweet like some and go down very easy. We enjoyed all the flavors, with the peach and blackberry being our top two favorites. The whiskeys produced are sea-salt caramel, standard corn whiskey, and Blowtorch. The sea-salt caramel was a hit and we left with a bottle of it also. The standard corn whiskey appears to be popular, but not really an alcohol I drink. The Blowtorch brought on a sense of nostalgia, because it reminds me of the fireballs and red hot candy that I enjoyed as a kid. The tasting room is nicely decorated and staffed with members of the Hazard Family, who were very friendly, and contributed to the enjoyable time we had during our visit. Overall, we were very pleased with the quality and flavor of the moonshines and whiskeys and plan to make this our go to stop. Take the short drive from the highway and you will not be disappointed!

I really liked the décor and overall vibe, both inside and outside. It's a great setting and well worth seeking out. A friend and I spent an afternoon checking out a few local distilleries and breweries, and Big Spring Spirits really stood out. We did a spirits flight, and while everything was well done, the straight rye whiskey was easily my favorite. It was surprisingly busy for a weekday afternoon, but the staff never missed a beat. Everyone was moving, clearly enjoying what they do, and they were happy to answer questions and talk through the spirits without making it feel rushed. I ended up buying a bottle of the rye to bring back home to California. I also just found out they've opened a tasting room in State College, which means it's officially on my list for the next time I'm back in PA.

We've eaten here a few times before and have always had great meals, so we wanted to bring our friends to experience this hidden gem. I made a 5:00 p.m. reservation, and we arrived right on time. We were seated a few minutes early, which was a nice start to the evening. Our server greeted us promptly with water and then returned to take our drink order. My wife ordered the Dragon Fruit cocktail, I had the Rye Old Fashioned, and our friends enjoyed the Watermelon Refresher and the Black Walnut Old Fashioned. For dinner, our friends ordered the salmon and the burger with fries. My wife and I shared the Green Goddess Salad and the Korean BBQ Short Ribs. When our meals arrived, everything looked absolutely amazing. We all dug in, and every dish lived up to the presentation. Our friends said the salmon was fabulous, and the burger was cooked perfectly and full of flavor. The Green Goddess Salad was fresh and delicious, but the star of the evening was definitely the Korean BBQ Short Ribs. They were incredibly tender, packed with flavor, and simply OMG good! Even though we were all full, we couldn't pass up dessert. We shared the Pineapple Upside-Down Cake, and it was the perfect ending to an outstanding meal. From the drinks and food to the friendly service and atmosphere, Hidden Still Spirits continues to impress us. We're glad we brought our friends here, and they were just as impressed as we have been on our previous visits. We'll definitely be back again!

The rustic décor creates a warm, welcoming atmosphere, and it's a great option for families since they have a kids menu. The food was good across the board. The carne asada tacos were packed with flavor, the ribs were tender and fell off the bone, and the ahi tuna nachos served on crispy wonton chips were the highlight of the meal. Good food, family-friendly, and a nice change of pace after a day at the park.

We started with a flight of whisky's for me, a cab sav for my wife and a cocktail for my daughter. All good! We had some maple bacon Brussels to kick things off and they were legit! I got the coconut curry salmon - DANG. So good! Crispy skin, perfect rice and the snow peas! My wife got the Delmonico (I had to help her, oh darn!) and it was perfectly cooked and very nicely seasoned. Daughter got the short rib and oxtail over noodles and they were perfect. Everything was exactly prepared and delicious! After dinner we went to their distillery tasting room and tried a few more of their distilled offerings, bought several bottles but the star of the show was the Limoncello! This was not your Italian, tastes like Pine-Sol limoncello - this was perfectly balanced and exceptional! Definitely put this place on your list if you're in the State College area. We are!

The appetizers (onion rings, fried pickles and soft pretzels) were all good. I was less impressed with their #3 IPA that reminded me of medicine. The cheddar burger was not seasoned at all, and the vegetables (tomatoes and lettuce) were wilted and unappetizing. The homemade chips weren't bad however. It's a good place for drinks and appetizers, but the limited meal menu doesn't seem to be worth much.
