Meeting No. 85 - October 2019
Before there was whisky there was

It is often said that whiskey and beer are basically the same before the distillation process begins. In this tasting we will look at the history of both beer and whiskey and examine the two processes for similarities and differences. We will then delve into four spirits that blend to definition of the two in the new genre of beer themed whiskeys. Hosted by Gavin.
