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.
