Barrels have taken an important place in brewing. Whether it’s barrel-ageing stouts or fermenting wild ales, they are used to add different flavours to dark beers and to keep yeast for wild ones. But how exactly do brewers use the barrels? Where do they get them? What’s the lifecycle of a barrel?
To discuss this we have 4 experts…
– ASC Barrels are a cooperage, sourcing and providing barrels to brewers. they also organise the Barrel Summit in Deauville, France.
– Croatian craft brewery Zmajska Pivovara (@zmajskapivovara1230 ) were pioneers of craft beer in Croatia and have a strong barrel-aged program.
– Italian craft brewery Brasseria Dell Fonte are a small family microbrewery located on a farm in the Tuscan countryside. They started their barrel program in 2092 with 35 barrels.
– British craft brewery The Wild Beer Co. (@wildbeerco8826) from Somerset in England brew exciting, complex, wild beer, most of which are aged in their 600 barrels
