From the Mountains
to Modern Alchemy
Modern Alchemist was started by Nathan Kelischek and Chris Zieber — the same minds behind Appalachian Mountain Brewery and Mountain Hippie Soda. Their goal? To create a space where great drinks, good vibes, and creativity come together.
What began with THC-infused mocktails quickly expanded into something more: a place where you’ll find house-distilled spirits, non-alcoholic options, and bold flavors made for sharing. Whether you’re sipping solo or gathering with friends, everything we make is designed to elevate the moment.
Experience it all in person at our new distillery in Old Fort, NC – a destination for drinks, discovery, and something a little unexpected.
Craft, Curiosity,
and Connection

A Destination Designed to
Spark Connection
Step inside our restored sock factory and experience where creativity meets craft. With a Latin-inspired menu, an artful cocktail bar, and vibrant design touches throughout, our Old Fort distillery is more than a place to grab a drink — it’s a space to gather, explore, and unwind. Come see what we’re mixing up.
