Barrel Room

Our barrels are hand selected. We inspect and analyze the aromas residing within them.  On occasion, we’ll even taste the spirit that came out of them. We make sure the dregs are still sloshing around in there. We carefully inspect the staves and the hoops, making sure they are tight. We look at the head of the barrel and the croze, analyzing their engagement. We then purge the barrel with carbon dioxide and rid them of oxygen. Our perfectly executed, high gravity still beer is then slowly pushed into the barrel, as it is counter pressure filled. From here we wait. We analyze. We top- up on occasion. We do blending sessions when the time is right and then we make our final blend.
