The name

What is a
penny farthing?

That oversized, oddly shaped bicycle of the late 19th century. Nicknamed the “bone shaker,” it put the rider in touch with every bump and dip in the road.

We relate. We don’t hand our decisions to machines; touch, smell and taste guide every step of how our spirits are made. And we think it’s wonderful that this old building is once again filled with life and jollity.
