The Craft Brewers Whiskey Project is a five-year collaboration which includes the distilling of a dozen different popular beers from a limited group of craft beer brewers across five states. The concept of producing whiskey from beer brewed over five years is now the liquid gold bottled by Berkshire Mountain Distillers who is releasing a trio of whiskeys from their partnership with three Northeast brewers.
“We were thrilled to collaborate with all of our brewer-partners and are excited these whiskeys are finally ready to be enjoyed by beer and whiskey aficionados alike,” said Chris Weld, founder of Berkshire Mountain Distillers. “This fun collaboration has been an exceptional project-in-the-making involving 12 brewers, 12 beers, 12 whiskeys and 80 barrels of spirits … we’re eager to release each one to the public.”
The Project allows each bottle to be blended of 86 proof using spring water from Sheffield, Massachusetts, and packaged in Berkshire Mountain’s custom bottles with a brewer-designed Whiskey Project label.
