Ok, we usually don't get too excited for kickstarter projects, but I've got to admit, this one really piqued my interests. I've really developed a taste for whiskey because I love the flavor it brings with it, so I really wanted to find out more about this one. So after a conversation with Mathew Rick, the man behind Beeriskey, I was able to find out a lot more about this.

Here's what he had to say, "As a distiller, I enjoy a great traditional whiskey just as much as any other advocate for the spirit. However, your run of the mill whiskey is simply distilled from a stripped down beer recipe. So, what if instead of distilling whiskey in the traditional style we begin with full flavored, craft brews then distill these beers to a lower purity (still bottled at 80 proof) than which is traditional? Then you end up with a truly distinctive and definitely more flavorful whiskey that is still reminiscent of the full flavored beer from which it was derived! Our Beeriskey project will produce whiskeys with flavor profiles unlike those evertasted before."

The project has only just started, but it sounds like a very sound plan. Taken straight from their kick starter, "Infinity Beverages has chosen to collaborate with a fellow industry member from Wisconsin: Sand Creek Brewing of Black River Falls. Sand Creek has a reputation for innovation and some mighty fine brews from which to choose. We've got the still and we've got the know-how...Now we just need the raw materials."

These guys seem to have everything inline, the still, the knowledge, they just need the capital to get it off the ground. Shooting to have a finished product by December 2014 at a price of $39.99/bottle. It is a very small batch with only about 400 bottles being produced initially, so it may sell out quickly!

There are three funding goals, each one produces another batch, starting from $6,500 and reaching all the way up to $15,500 for a Special Reserve Weizen Bock Beeriskey.

Let us know what you think, here's the official kickstarter link. We love the idea and we'll be keeping an eye out on this one, and let you know about any big updates!
