Dear keepers of the knowledge.......
We produce Discworld beers from the books of Terry Pratchett. We take care to try and get the flavour of the beer authentic to something you might find on Discworld - to this end, out Old Kingdom was brewed based on a recipe that came from Egypt. I have need of some help:
Those of you who are familiar with Discworld will probably know that there is a distillery run by Jimkin Bearhugger in Ankh Morpork. He makes strong whiskey - the type to take varnish off a table and eat the wood beneath too.
In conversation with Terry Pratchett about future Discworld beers we are looking to produce we agreed that since he (Jimkin) knows whiskey and distilling, it would not be unlikely that there would be a Jimkin Bearhugger beer or two being produced from the same premises.
So, my question to you fine folk is...Is anyone here aware of the use of whiskey in the real life production of beers, be the spirit included as part of a blending or during production?
If so, is there anyone today who uses whiskey in their beer production process.
I would love to hear from anyone who might know?
