A New Hampshire distillery is using spirits to help solve a fishy environmental challenge. To combat harm caused by the invasive green crab, Tamworth Distillery launched a limited-edition whiskey, called Crab Trapper, that’s actually infused with the species.
The green crab arrived to the east coast from Europe in the 1800s, quickly competing with native crabs for resources. Shellfish and soft clam populations have been particularly hard-hit by the green crab’s takeover.
