Who would’ve thunk it? Hazy DIPA makes a great Whiskey base.
If the Germans know one thing, it’s Beer. What’s lesser known is that they’ve been distilling their lager for ages, calling it “Bierschnapps”. Making booze from brewskis makes sense, since they both start with fermenting grain before their paths diverge. Now ― in the wake of the craft Beer revolution ― this practice is taking America by storm. The guys at Seven Stills are doing just that ― turning craft Beer into craft Whiskey. If you ask us, that’s almost as awesome as turning water into Wine. The founder Tim Obert has been at it since 2016, collaborating with craft-brewing heavy-hitters from his base of operations in Bayview, San Francisco, expanding considerably along the way.
Hazy, juicy Beer has been all the rage. In case you’re unfamiliar with the style, it’s the one that employs oats for the haze, and truckloads of bright and fruity hops for its aroma. It’s with one such Beer ― the stronger DIPA or double IPA, to be exact ― that the Slippery Eight Loop Whiskey starts. It isn’t Seven Stills’ first rodeo involving this style, but it is the first one involving Loop Juice for an extra juicy brewski. They then distilled the finished Beer using a 300-gallon pot still to create the epic 94-proof Whiskey. Unique? You bet. We’re digging the bright, rich, and complex Spirit. The only downside is they only made 540 bottles of it!
