The local companies announced on International Beer Day earlier this month that they are elated to be working together and supporting each other on this exceptional project. They’re excited to bring their stories and passion together to innovate on some unique products their customers won’t be able to experience anywhere else. They also mentioned their next release together, expected in winter 2022, will be inspired by Striped Pig Bourbon and will be aged in their bourbon barrels, more details to follow closer to release. For now Striped Pig and Ghost Monkey patrons alike can enjoy the first special edition beer, whose recipe and flavor profile is inspired by Striped Gin. From the label:
What do you get when you bring a Monkey and Pig together? Exceptional beer and a whole lot of fun.
