Rhode Island Distributing Company (RIDC) hosted a reception at Pawtucket’s Foolproof Brewing Company on September 13 to debut Jameson Caskmates IPA Edition, Stout and Porter editions. The triple-distilled whiskey is finished in stout-seasoned casks and boasts flavor notes of cocoa, coffee and butterscotch. Guests also sampled the Foolproof Grotto, an IPA debuted by Foolproof Brewing this past spring, and took part in brewery tours by Head Brewer Steve Sharp. Foolproof Brewing is one of the 16 craft breweries highlighted by the Jameson Drinking Buddies program, which showcases distinct craft beer collaborations with American breweries.
