Craft Brewers Whiskey ProjectBerkshire Mountain Distillers out of Massachusetts made a name for itself last year when it teamed with a number of craft breweries across the country to release whiskies aged in former beer barrels. The distillery is now getting into a related project, unveiling plans for a series of expressions distilled from craft beers themselves.
