WhistlePig's Great Beer Rescue of 2020

Whisky is what beer dreams of being when it grows up, but the
Covid-19 pandemic has left craft brewers with tens of thousands
of gallons of beer and no place to sell it with bars across the
U.S. closed. Vermont's WhistlePig Farm has been working with
brewers from as far away as Texas to give some of that beer a
chance to fulfill a higher purpose: being distilled into whiskey!
While we're approaching this from a humorous perspective, it's
actually cheaper for the brewers and better for the environment
to fill tanker trucks with their surplus beer and send it to
Vermont than it would be to dump it into local sewer systems.
WhistlePig distillery manager Emily Harrison and CEO Jeff Kozak
join us on this week's WhiskyCast In-Depth. In the news, a new
survey shows nearly two out of three craft distillers are at risk
of going out of business because of the economic impact from the
pandemic. We'll have that story along with details on the week's
new whiskies and much more, including our latest Whisky Club of
the Month!
