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.
