Striped Pig Distillery (SPD) celebrated International Beer Day on Thursday by announcing its collaboration with Ghost Monkey Brewery and the release of a special edition beer. Their first joint project, to be released later this month, will be a Belgian wheat style beer with flavors of lavender, orange peel, and coriander, which is supposed to invoke the botanical blends of Striped Pig's best selling, award-winning gin.
The local companies are so elated to be working together that they also mentioned their next release together, which will be inspired by Striped Pig Bourbon and will be aged in their bourbon barrels. More details will be announced closer to the expected winter 2022 release.
“We can't wait for this release,” said Striped Pig CEO Pixie Paula Dezzutti. “Every great distiller knows that a great bourbon begins with a great mash. We searched for years to find the beer master that shares our commitment to excellence and innovation, who puts as much care and attention into their mash and craft as we do, in order to deliver truly exceptional products that we could feel confident putting our name on. We're lucky to have found that in the amazing team at Ghost Monkey, and our collaboration is the perfect blend of our animal spirits.”
