Eduard Viader grabs a bottle from a riddling rack, pulls off the metal brace that secured the cork, and with his index finger covering the closure to keep it from flying off, uses his clawlike wrench to ease the cork out of the bottle. As soon as the bubbles rise into the neck, he yanks off the cork, and a cap of dead yeast cells shoots out. He spins the bottle to tamp down the fizz and turns it upright.

For many, checking the canned-on dates on the bottom of IPAs is standard practice, and some are quick to pass up an otherwise automatic purchase if it’s more than a few weeks old. But one thing these breweries haven’t defined is what “fresh” really means.

Craft whiskey was born of the desire to drink local and innovate, but “big whiskey” was far from bland or uninspiring.
