With an emphasis on local, Big Spring Spirits founder Kevin Lloyd envisioned opening a community-centric craft distillery in the heart of Central Pennsylvania. When the opportunity arose to set down roots in Bellefonte’s beautiful Match Factory in 2014, it was an easy decision. Since then, Big Spring Spirits is proud to be able to a partner with this community, sourcing from our local farmers and artisans, whenever possible.
