The lovely beverages pictured above are Founders Kentucky Breakfast Stout -- in the small goblet, and Sprecher's Triple X Root Beer, in the tasting glass. On Tuesday, March 31st, we attended the Whiskeyfest kick-off party at Twisted Spoke on Grand and Ogden, home of the motorcycle-riding skeleton. It was a celebration of all beers aged in whiskey barrels, including New Holland Dragon's Milk (ultra-delicious), Founders Kentucky Breakfast stout (their breakfast stout aged in Kentucky Bourbon barrels, but don't tell the state of Kentucky because legally they have to call the beer KBS because they can't use the name Kentucky), AND the not-usually-available Sprecher's Triple X root beer. This fantastic brew is Sprecher's original root beer that they aged in bourbon barrels. Just the aging imparts a 4-5% ABV. So good! There also was one of the few Pop Skull BBL's on tap. Twisted Spoke has TONS of delicious beers, and BBQ pork nachos.

Beer and Whiskey go together like pork and barbecue
