German term

Bierbrand

German to English Other Food & Drink Swiss German
I understand this to be a kind of distilled beer, but cannot find the proper EN term for it. Apparently whiskey is also distilled from beer in this method.
Seit 2004 werden hier auch Monsteiner *Bierbrände* und Whisky gebrannt.

According to this link it might simply be whiskey - but why the double mention then.

Bierbrand — What do you get when you boil your beer?
By Tom Keith
We were kicking around the idea of doing beer brandy’ (which I guess is an Austrian style) … and we thought, ‘Oh, you know, that might be a cool idea.’

Similar opportunities exist with beer-brandy, as well (distilled beer, also called beer-schnapps).

Now before I rate this bier, I should state that the Braumeister (Brew master) Herr Reinhard Engel has also developed an interesting side project. He has figured out how to distill the bier and to produce what is called Bierbrand. The schnapps is a brilliant addition and something I believe all people should try when visiting the brewery.

Exceptional also their bierbrand (schnapps distilled from a specially hopped batch).

This one extra step – distillation – creates a grain spirit, or beer brandy, that casts its euphoric effects as its smooth character envelopes you. These spirits are aged in oak kegs in a specially designed storage vault in Düsseldorf, with a resultant ABV of 42% for Stickum and 45% for Stickum+.

and the Birneckers even got the idea to distill some of Metropolitan's beer, turning it into a beer brandy called Bierbrand.
