New to Great American Beer Festival this year: Jameson Caskmates Barrel-Aged Beer Garden

June 6, 2018Pretty Much a Press Release

Great American Beer Festival
Just what the GABF was missing: Another place to herd people to drink.

Celebrating the spirit of collaboration and offering opportunities for beer lovers to enjoy new experiences, the Brewers Association announced the debut of Jameson Caskmates Barrel-Aged Beer Garden at the Great American Beer Festival (GABF). The new, 12,600 sq-ft craft beer garden will be part of a nearly 100,000 sq-ft expansion of the festival floor, and joins PAIRED, CraftBeer.com Pavilion and other craft beer and food occasion programs at GABF.

I love it. What is it?

The new spot will address beer lovers’ growing demand for barrel-aged beers and will feature 17 small and independent Jameson craft brewery partners and their limited-edition Jameson barrel-aged beer in a setting that draws inspiration from their local neighborhoods. Participating breweries include:

  • 8th Wonder,
  • Bale Breaker,
  • Big Dog’s Brewing Co,
  • Black Abbey,
  • Captain Lawrence,
  • Cigar City,
  • DC Brau,
  • Fat Heads,
  • Foolproof,
  • Fulton,
  • Great Divide,
  • Green Flash,
  • Harpoon,
  • Heavy Seas,
  • Parish,
  • Revolution and
  • River Horse.

“For nearly four decades, GABF has served as a platform for brewers to showcase unique brewing techniques and for beer lovers to expand their horizons and intrigue their palates,” said Ann Obenchain, marketing director, Brewers Association. “The Jameson Caskmates Program offers a natural extension to craft beer and this new beer garden at GABF provides an exciting setting to satiate the thirst for barrel-aged beers.”

Brewers have long used whiskey barrels to age their beers and sales of barrel-aged beer have increased by 20 percent over the past three years. As part of the Jameson Caskmates Program, Jameson sends breweries across the U.S. used Jameson barrels from the distillery in Midleton, County Cork, Ireland. Those breweries age a variety of unique and neighborhood specific barrel-aged beers for sale locally.

GABF will take place Sept. 20-22, 2018, at the Colorado Convention Center in Denver, Colo. GABF tickets go on sale August 1.
