Coopers’ Craft is partnering with Florida brewery, Coppertail Brewing Co. for National IPA Day. The two brands collaborated to create a unique beer cocktail recipe – the Rusty Pale. Coopers’ Craft bourbon has a soft, light flavor profile, making the bourbon an easy mixing, easy drinking bourbon that is the perfect complement to Free Dive (India Pale Ale).
The Rusty Pale combines the hoppy-ness of the Free Dive with the soft lemon custard and apple pie notes of the Cooper’s Craft bourbon creating a cocktail where the bourbon’s rich and smooth finish meets the lingering bitterness of the IPA.
Get together with your friends and host a pairing party. Try pairing the Rusty Pale beer cocktail with spicy shrimp, fried foods, sharp cheddar cheese, carrot cake, and bread pudding.

What makes Coopers’ Craft Bourbon Unique?
Nearly 150 years ago, when Brown Forman began bottling bourbon, they recognized the importance of craftsmanship and the role of the wooden barrel as an essential ingredient. Since 1945 they have been raising their own new barrels; and now are the only major distiller to do so.
