Barrel-Aged Beers

Brewing beer is a science and also an art, especially with the process of barrel-ageing. Barrrel-aged beer is beer that has been aged in a barrel (or in contact with wood), often oak. These barrels that previously held spirits or wine impart flavour and complexity to the beer. It might seem popular now but it has been around for ages - some traditional European beer styles such as Belgian lambics are also barrel-fermented.

Barrel-aging is risky from the brewer’s perspective, too. It takes time, money, and space to age a beer, and you’re never really sure what you’re going to get when you finally pop the bung. We're so excited with the excellent barrel-aged options we have here, and we think you should check them out.
