点评:I was ecstatic to find a piece of Salem in Allentown, Pennsylvania. Gallows Hill Spirits is an excellent distillery. I’ve had it bookmarked for a while, so I’m glad that we got to visit. It’s warm and inviting. It’s also aptly named because anyone who grew up in Salem knows that Gallows Hill was the place to go drink.
Behind the bar is a replica of Salem’s Witch House and there is a replica of the sign by the door, which really provides that Salem feel. The decor provides an overview of the Salem Witch Trials, including naming those who were murdered, which is important.
We ordered two drinks, both of which were excellent. Next time we return, we’d like to taste some of the spirits individually. We met with Robert, the proprietor, for a tour, and he provided a high-level yet comprehensive overview of the trials. He started this distillery because he is descended from one of the executed and during the tour, he shares his familial connection and how he discovered it. Robert is very friendly and welcoming.
It’s wicked cool to find some of Salem outside of New England, especially in my partner’s home area, and especially a place that takes our history seriously and shares the truthful version. The delicious drinks are a fun bonus. You absolutely must visit this distillery when in/near the Lehigh Valley.

吧台后面是塞勒姆女巫审判所的复制品,门口还有一块复制的招牌,营造出浓厚的塞勒姆氛围。酒厂的装饰概述了塞勒姆女巫审判案,包括那些被谋杀者的姓名,这一点非常重要。
我们点了两杯酒,都非常美味。下次再来,我们想单独品尝一下酒厂的几种烈酒。我们和老板罗伯特一起参观了酒厂,他为我们详细而全面地介绍了塞勒姆女巫审判案。他创办这家酿酒厂是因为他的祖先曾是塞勒姆镇的死刑犯之一。在参观过程中,他会分享这段家族渊源以及他是如何发现这段历史的。罗伯特非常友善热情。
能在新英格兰以外的地方找到塞勒姆镇的遗迹真是太棒了,尤其是在我伴侣的家乡附近,而且这里还如此重视历史,并讲述真实的故事。美味的酒水更是锦上添花。如果你在利哈伊谷附近,绝对不能错过这家酿酒厂。
