The first two in the series distilled from beer made at Beltway Brewing in Sterling, Va., will be released Feb. 2. Only 200 bottles will be available.
The OctoMalt American Malt Whisky began as Beltway’s OctoIPA, while the Farmhouse Pale Malt started life as Beltway’s Farmhouse Pale Ale.
Each is aged two years in charred new oak, and are described as dark, sumptuous, and with a distinctive floral note from the malts and hops. Members of the Beltway Brewing team will be present at the release, along with Becky Harris, to sign bottles and do Q&A. Bottles are $69.99 each at 92 proof.
