Abstract:

Barrels used in the process of making wine, bourbon, rye whiskey, rum, and gin are being repurposed by craft brewers. Barrel aging beer adds complexity to the beer and flavors that remain in the cask from its original use. In the Asheville region, this style of beer making is becoming more popular making barrels valuable and difficult to obtain.

Abstract:

Sa North Carolina moves closer to becoming a leader in the burgeoning craft beer industry, proponents seek better opportunities for local support in the manufacturing process. A principal ingredient, hops is grown almost exclusively in the Pacific Northwest. While growing conditions in much of North Carolina are not ideal for the production of hops, current research at NC State has led to the development of a new specimen of hops suited to Western North Carolina’s climate. Art Robertson, owner of Running Turtle Hops Farm in Liberty, NC notes the impact of locally grown hops as for quality and economic impact realized.
