The Mixing Room at Broken Goblet: A Brand-New Distillery and Taproom Are Here!

Big things are brewing (and distilling) over at Broken Goblet Brewing in Bensalem! If you’re a local craft beer fan, you’ve probably already sipped a pint or two at this beloved spot, but now there’s a whole new reason to visit: The Mixing Room – a brand-new distillery and taproom.

Broken Goblet, in collaboration with the Mutual Respect Brewery Collective (a name that screams local camaraderie), has truly upped the ante. They’ve transformed a once-abandoned space into something special: a 6,000-square-foot hub that’s part distillery, part taproom, and soon-to-be kitchen. And yes, it’s right next door to the original brewery.

A Bit of Background: From Dormant to Delightful

The space originally had a different future in mind. It was meant to house Key Spirits and a pizza restaurant until the pandemic threw a wrench in those plans. The property sat empty for years until Broken Goblet stepped in with their vision. Now, thanks to their hard work, The Mixing Room is alive, thriving, and serving up something for everyone.

This new space is part of the growing Mutual Respect Brewery Collective, which includes:

Broken Goblet Brewing
Trauger Brewing
Lucky Cat Brewing Company
CaféDilla
And a soon-to-be-revealed distilling brand (yes, the suspense is real!).

Inside The Mixing Room: Inviting and Intimate

So, what can you expect when you walk into The Mixing Room? Think cozy and chill vibes. The taproom offers a mix of seating options:

Low tables for laid-back hangs
High-tops for a group night out
Lounge couches for maximum comfort

With seating for about 75 people and a bar that fits 10, the space is designed to feel personal and relaxing. Whether you want to enjoy a beer in peace or catch up with friends away from the usual buzz of the main venue, this is your spot. As co-owner Mike Sweeney puts it, “This was an answer to the questions, ‘Where do we go to get away from the noise?’ and ‘What if we just want to visit for a beer?’”

Beer, Spirits, and Seriously Good Cocktails

Craft beer lovers, don’t worry – you’re still covered. There are 16 taps pouring beers from all Mutual Respect brands. Grab a pint to stay, or pick up some cans and four-packs to go.

But here’s the exciting part: craft cocktails. While the distillery waits for its official Pennsylvania license, they’re serving drinks made with PA-based spirits. And to make those cocktails sing? Meet Anders, the new in-house mixologist with over a decade of experience working at top-notch speakeasies and whiskey lounges like Philly’s iconic Hop Sing Laundromat and The Local in New Jersey. Whether you’re a cocktail connoisseur or just looking to try something new, Anders has you covered.

Once the distillery gets rolling, expect clear spirits like vodka, gin, and white rum to kick things off. Down the road, they’re planning to dive into aged spirits, fun liqueurs, and maybe even some canned cocktails. If you’re into sipping locally-made spirits, keep your eyes on this space – big things are coming!

A New Taproom, But the Music Still Plays

If you’ve visited Broken Goblet before, you probably know their large music venue space. Here’s the deal:

The original taproom is now officially the Music Room, a space for private events and live music shows.
The Mixing Room is your go-to for a laid-back beer (or cocktail) experience.

It’s a win-win: grab a drink and relax in the new taproom, or head next door for live tunes when the mood strikes.

Hungry? CaféDilla Is Coming Soon

No taproom is complete without good food, and The Mixing Room is no exception. CaféDilla – one of the Mutual Respect Collective partners – is prepping to open their full kitchen this spring. For now, they’re serving up a limited menu, with more details to come as things heat up. Keep an eye out for updates because good beer + good cocktails + great food? That’s the trifecta.

The Verdict: Why You Should Visit The Mixing Room

Broken Goblet has always been a gem in the local craft beer scene, but The Mixing Room takes things to the next level. It’s intimate, creative, and brings together beer, spirits, and community all under one roof. Whether you’re stopping by for a fresh pint, exploring their cocktail menu, or just checking out what’s new, there’s something for everyone to love.

So, grab your friends, check out this new space, and support the folks at Broken Goblet and the Mutual Respect Brewery Collective. Cheers to great beer, excellent cocktails, and a little bit of local magic!

We are working on a massive project here at The Beer Thrillers. We are creating a map of all of the breweries across the United States. State by state we are adding maps of all of the different states with every brewery in each state. (We will eventually get to the US Territories, as well as the Canadian Provinces, and possibly more countries; as well as doing some fun maps like a map of all the breweries we’ve been to, and other fun maps.) You can find the brewery maps here:
