Please join us in welcoming John Fitch Distilling Company as our new Community Partner AND a supporter of AUSA Greater Philadelphia – Penn & Franklin Chapter's inaugural Dining-Out on October 22!
Long before steamboats transformed America, John Fitch was making history right here in Philadelphia!
In 1787, the Revolutionary War veteran, gunsmith and inventor successfully demonstrated his steam-powered boat on the Delaware River before members of the Constitutional Convention.
Today, John Fitch Distilling Company carries that pioneering American spirit forward through small-batch spirits rooted in craftsmanship, regional agriculture and a genuine sense of place.
And their connection to service continues through 28 ID Red Keystone Reserve, a Pennsylvania bourbon supporting the 28th Infantry Division Association Heritage Campaign.
From early American innovation on the Delaware to raising a glass in Philadelphia more than two centuries later, this partnership feels pretty fitting. 🇺🇸🥃
American history. Pennsylvania roots. A shared commitment to service. Welcome to the Penn & Franklin team, John Fitch Distilling Company!
