On this episode of the BYO Nano Podcast we’re going into the barrel cellar. Wood has sometimes been called beer’s fifth ingredient and the sight of barrels inside a brewery often brings smiles to customer faces. From stouts in whiskey barrels to mixed fermentation in oak, there are ways breweries of any size can start or improve upon a wood program. Two experts in the field – Marty Scott of
Revolution Brewing and Connor Currie of
Ale Apothecary – are here to share their insight.
