Why it's craft
Black Brier swaps wine casks for beer: Green Brier finishes its bourbon in barrels that first aged an Imperial Stout at Blackstone Brewing Company. The bourbon was distilled in Indiana and Kentucky and blended and finished in Nashville. The distillery carries Charles Nelson's pre-Prohibition Green Brier name and has been wholly owned by Constellation Brands since 2024.
