FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Two Pennsylvania creators unite around a shared passion for craftsmanship, authenticity, and doing things the hard way.

PITTSBURGH, PA — July 2026 — Some partnerships happen because of marketing.

Others happen because two groups of people recognize something familiar in each other's work.

The Dead Air Saints are proud to announce that Blackbird Distillery's Homemade Apple Pie Moonshine has been named the Official Moonshine of The Dead Air Saints.

Located in Brookville, Pennsylvania, Blackbird Distillery has quietly built a reputation as one of the state's most authentic craft distilleries. Since opening in 2014, the family-owned distillery has remained committed to producing its spirits entirely by hand—from mashing and fermenting to distilling, bottling, and labeling—using traditional small-batch methods.

That philosophy immediately resonated with The Dead Air Saints.

"We spend months writing, recording, and mixing a single song because we believe details matter," said Joni V of The Dead Air Saints. "When we visited Blackbird, we realized David and Jennifer Black approach whiskey exactly the same way. They aren't chasing shortcuts. They're chasing quality."

Owners David and Jennifer Black have transformed Blackbird into more than a distillery. Visitors are welcomed into a place where every bottle has a story, every tour is personal, and every conversation includes a little history about moonshine and the traditions that inspired it.

Today Blackbird Distillery produces an impressive lineup including:

• 28 handcrafted moonshine flavors
• 5 aged whiskeys
• 6 cream liqueurs

Visitors will also find smoked cheeses, specialty foods, homemade mixes, and other local favorites that have become part of the Blackbird experience.

The partnership arrives as The Dead Air Saints prepare to release their new single, Girl Next Door, on July 10.

The song celebrates authenticity, independence, and choosing your own path rather than becoming who others expect you to be.

Those themes fit naturally alongside a Pennsylvania distillery that has spent more than a decade doing things its own way.

If you're traveling north toward Cook Forest, make time for a stop in Brookville. Tour the distillery, sample the handcrafted spirits, and experience firsthand the craftsmanship that inspired this partnership.

Because the Official Moonshine of The Dead Air Saints is not what the Girl Next Door is drinking.
