Cocktail-Inspired Craft Beers

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Funky Buddha Mint Julep Beer is Strong and Refreshing

— May 3, 2018 — Lifestyle
The Funky Buddha Mint Julep Beer has been unveiled by the Florida-based brewery as a new strong ale that will provide beer drinkers with a different take on a classic cocktail that's sure to surprise and delight. The beer has been prepared using flaked corn, barley and rye that creates an American strong-style ale before being infused with fresh mint and aged in High West whiskey barrels. The final product features a 12% ABV and calls to mind the flavor experience of the classic Kentucky cocktail it shares a name with.

The Funky Buddha Mint Julep Beer identifies the bold moves that craft breweries are taking to keep consumers interested and offer something that is completely different from what you'll find in the mainstream.

1. Craft Brewery Innovations - Craft breweries are continuously developing unique and unexpected beer flavors, like cocktail-inspired brews, to captivate consumers.
2. Barrel-aged Beers - The use of whiskey barrels for aging beer presents an opportunity for brewers to create complex and distinctive flavor profiles.
3. Hybrid Beverage Offerings - The creation of beer that emulates the taste of iconic cocktails appeals to consumers seeking innovative and boundary-pushing drink options.
Industry Implications

2. Whiskey Distilleries - Whiskey distilleries can collaborate with craft breweries to leverage their barrels for unique barrel-aged beer creations, opening new revenue streams and expanding their customer base.
3. Restaurants & Bars - Restaurants and bars can enhance their beverage offerings by incorporating craft beers inspired by cocktails, providing a unique and memorable experience for their patrons.
