A couple of years ago on a beer/media trip to Yakima, Washington, I’d picked up a bottle of Jameson Caskmates IPA—the Bale Breaker Brewing edition where Topcutter IPA was conditioned in casks that were then used for Jameson Irish Whiskey.

In addition to having less than 0.5% ABV (to legally qualify as non-alcoholic), they are … Continue reading
