Wood-Aged Beer
This beer is aged with the intention of imparting the unique character of the wood and/or the flavor of what has previously been in the barrel. Beer may be aged in wooden barrels (new or previously used to age wine or spirits), or chips, spirals and cubes may be added to the conditioning tanks that normally house beer. A variety of types of wood are used including oak, apple, alder, hickory and more. The interior of most barrels is charred or toasted to further enhance the flavor of the wood.
Notes: Wood-aged and barrel-aged beers are traditional or experimental lagers, ales, or hybrid beers aged in wooden barrels or conditioned with wood contact (such as chips, spirals, cubes, or staves).
