Founders Brewing Co. has been aging beer in bourbon barrels since 2001. This seminar will discuss our process of selecting barrels and the beers to age, with particular attention focused on high-volume brands KBS and Backwoods Bastard. The growth of Founder’s barrel program from a single barrel to the thousands currently in production will be discussed in detail, including theoretically hilarious hijinks and problems we’ve encountered with ongoing expansion of both volume and brands produced.
