Three Taverns and Independent Distilling Create Georgia’s First Bierschnaps

Independent Distilling, in collaboration with Three Taverns Brewery, has created Georgia’s first Bierschnaps as part of their Outlier series of limited and special releases. This beautiful spirit is the result of Three Taverns asking if Independent would like to distill some of their Feest Noel winter ale. The answer was of course “YES!” but with no real idea of what the end product might be. Made of 100% malted barley, Feest Noel also contains Belgian dark candy sugar along with cardamom, allspice, and clove that carry over in the distillation process. The result is a truly unique spirit with a strong malt base, floral aromatic notes, and spice from beginning to end. Three Taverns calls Feest Noel “merriment in a glass,” and that by distilling and aging that merriment Independent has created utter jubilation for your sipping pleasure. Do not miss the chance to be a part of history and take home a bottle of this very limited spirit!
