Jameson pale ale hybrid really lifts the spirits

The drinks industry could refer to it as a type of cross-pollination in a bid to create products which will replace the traditional "chaser".

A collaboration between a small brewery and one of the world’s most renowned distilleries has led to the creation of a pale ale with a whiskey aroma — and also in the pipeline there’s a whiskey which will have a whiff of beer about it.

The Franciscan Well recently acquired a number of barrels used by Jameson Irish Whiskey and produced Jameson-Aged Pale Ale in them.
