Das Peach House is the country store where Fischer & Weiser says it all began. The building it's located in was a Lone Star Beer Warehouse constructed in 1913. Prohibition changed things and it soon became a wholesale grocery warehouse where Mark Weiser's mother worked as an accountant.

Mark purchased the historic building in 1976 and moved it to its current location as they were looking to expand the original Das Peach Haus log cabin and open a bigger store to house fresh peaches and the jams and jellies they made.

Das Peach House is still the only place where you can test every single Fischer & Weiser product.

DIETZ DISTILLERY
