Microbrewery's 'Just Beers' in Westport MA has released beer bottles featuring a 12-part detective story on the back of the label. It started when brewer Harry Smith proposed a partnership with 'Just Beers' to author Paull Goodchild.
The collaboration resulted in an Indian Pale Ale with a 1920's detective noir story called 'The Case of the IPA' on its bottle. Although the first part of the story is online, you must purchase the other 11 bottles to read the story in its entirety. Drink and read responsibly with these 'Just Beers' bottles!
