Most of us don’t have either the contacts or the space to have a barrel at home and the amount of beer to fill it. Unless you are a home brewer, of course.
Now, with the aptly and simply named Oak Bottle made from ‘Merican White Oak, you can perform ale experiments and without waiting for years. The smaller bomber-esque vessel with the slim shape “accelerates the traditional oak aging process … in a matter of hours not years.”
Right now there is only the one version. No bourbon-barrel or extra charred or anything. But for $79 bucks it is a good entry level for testing out what Oak does to different beers.
