Beer Events – Barrel Aged Beer Day

IPA Day is August 1^st.  Sour Beer Day is the second Saturday in September.  International Stout Day is November 8^th.  Well beer lovers, you’ve got a new “Day” to add to your calendars.  Starting this year, the first Friday in October will be recognized as Barrel Aged Beer Day.  This new celebration of all things stored in wood was spearheaded by The Bruery in Placentia, California and is designed to raise awareness of this incredible cellaring technique.  The idea is for breweries and restaurants to coordinate special releases and/or events with the purpose of introducing exciting new flavors only available through the barrel aging to their patrons. 

I will be commemorating the inaugural Barrel Aged Beer Day by sharing a Café Royale from Williamsburg Alewerks and a Big Bad Baptist from Epic with friends around a campfire.  I can’t wait for the festivities to begin.

Merry Barrel Aged Beer Day!
