Our Story
Dog & Ram Spirits is a boutique farm distillery in the heart of agricultural Southern New Jersey. Sitting on over 60 verdant acres, our production facility and carriage house tasting room are where we craft high caliber spirits and shake up exciting cocktails. Our 250 gallon copper still, along with two towering vertical columns, hold court in our distillery.
The property looks out over Mannington Meadow, a Delaware River estuary which provides the most magnificent golden hour shows, the perfect backdrop to savor a seasonal cocktail. We’ve worked for years to bring this dream to fruition and we can’t wait to welcome you into Dog & Ram Spirits.
Cultivate Your Spirit
The soil in South Jersey boasts remarkable richness. Our plot of the Garden State has yielded a diverse array of crops including wheat, rye, soybeans, heirloom blue corn, and pumpkins. We intend to source raw materials from local producers, as well as complement our supply with grains grown on our own land. Our meticulous selection of botanicals from around the world, ensures only the finest specimens make their way into our still.

Brian Marr, MD - Founder
Brian is the fire behind Dog & Ram Spirits. The idea to start a distillery struck him in 2013, inspired by the new craft distillery license class in New Jersey. Our farm’s carriage house offered a perfect vessel for a craft spirits venture. A full time physician, Brian has worked tirelessly in his spare time, to see his dream become a reality. He eagerly awaits the first sip of whiskey behind the 20 foot walnut bar he hand built with his father.
