Funky Buddha High West Whiskey Barrel-Aged Mint Julep Coming 5/5

From Funky Buddha:

Funky Buddha has teamed up with High West Whiskey to create a beer that was born to be bold!

We brewed our High West Whiskey Barrel-Aged Mint Julep with an abundance of barley and flaked corn to mirror the recipe of a Bourbon mash. Fresh mint and an extended getaway inside whiskey barrels rounds out this ale with notes reminiscent of the historic, southern cocktail.

Mint Julep will be released exclusively in the Funky Buddha tap room on Saturday, May 5th. 22oz bottles will go on sale for $20 a pop with limits of four per person.
