The Festival of Wood and Barrel-Aged Beers came in late November this year, and we have another episode to add to our wall-to-wall coverage of Chicago's best beer fest. As has become a delicious tradition, we have gathered medal winning beers from this year - but with a totally sessionable twist. Three gold medal winners, one bronze, and one Best in Show gives us a lineup of 4 that'll go down as one of the best we've done. Also, we break down FoBAB winners by the numbers, recap our festival highlights, and replace the Elf on the Shelf with Craig on the Keg.  Beers Reviewed Milieu Fermentation - smol. (Barrel-aged mixed culture table beer) Off Color Brewing - Funky Beer for Tacos (Gose fermented with wild yeast aged in lime gin barrels) Cruz Blanca Brewpub - Tepache Cowboy (Mexican lager aged in añejo mezcal barrels with pineapple and spices) Half Acre Beer Co. - Orin (Bourbon and brandy barrel aged strong ale)  

As this year's Festival of Wood and Barrel-Aged Beers approaches, we dive deep into FoBAB topics while drinking through four barrel-aged beers from breweries featured at this year's fest. Our jumbled attempts to look back at previous year's memories notwithstanding, we look ahead to new and returning breweries we can't wait to try, old favorites and dependable options to seek out for a first pour, our general tips for navigating FoBAB, and a little mock Fantasy FoBAB draft to round things out. Plus, Craig encounters a real life Air Bud, our time machine is broken, and we wonder why we only hit like five breweries every year. Beers Reviewed Off Color Brewing - Whiskey Barrel-Aged Beer for Pizza [2022] (Malt beverage w/ dark candi syrup, kola nut, lime juice, vanilla, lemon zest, orange zest, cinnamon, coriander, nutmeg, and citric acid aged in Tennessee whiskey barrels) More Brewing - Barrel-Aged Doppelbock (Doppelbock aged in Elijah Craig bourbon and Old Elk barrels) Mikerphone Brewing - I Believe In A Thing Called Lager (Imperial dark lager aged 21 months in Peerless Straight Rye Whiskey barrels) WeldWerks Brewing & Toppling Goliath Brewing - Asesino De Medianoche (Imperial stout aged in Templeton Rye and Blanton's barrels w/ Madagascar bourbon vanilla beans)  

In this special 300th episode of The Daily Influence, host Brian Smith sits down with Ray Stout, the Director of the Illinois Craft Brewers Guild, to explore how the craft beer industry in Illinois has flourished through collaboration, innovation, and community engagement. Ray shares insights into the Guild's role in promoting, advocating, and educating breweries across the state. They discuss how craft breweries influence local economies, advocate for legislative changes, and create strong, community-driven businesses. From Beer Under Glass to the Festival of Barrel-Aged Beers, tune in to hear how the Guild fosters a culture of positive influence within the craft beer industry.

At last year's Festival of Barrel-Aged Beers in Chicago, a relative newcomer grabbed both the silver and bronze medals in the Wild Beer Mixed Culture with Fruit category, immediately sending the crowd to flood the pouring table with requests for tastes. The brewery brand—Idyll Forest Artisan Ales—is the wild, mixed-culture passion project of Pryes Brewing (https://www.pryesbrewing.com) cofounder Jeremy Pryes. The small production facility he's built about 20 minutes from the main brewery is his culture and flavor laboratory. Despite founding the brewery over a decade ago, Pryes still spends time on the production brew deck and then makes time for his acid-forward labors of love, but the long days are worth it for Pryes. There are too many ideas to try, too many experiments to work out, and too much to learn to slow down now. In this episode, Pryes discusses both their classic approach to “Midwest IPA” as well as the wild path he's forging with Idyll Forest. Along the way, he touches on: their slow and intentional growth from alternating proprietorship to large beer hall the fundamental tenets of classic Midwest IPA challenges in selecting Simcoe with a more classic flavor profile how drinkers' palates have evolved over the past decade changing yeast strains, making drier beers with no caramel malt, and finding balance through lower bitterness differentiating West Coast–style IPAs from Midwest IPAs through hop choices building common lanes for Idyll Forest's wild, spontaneous, and mixed-culture beers the narrow IBU window between bacterial party time and lockdown pre-acidifying or not, depending on flavor intentions decisions and process around fruit additions using carbonic maceration of grapes to improve flavor expression articulating beer-blending goals through writing avoiding vanilla in certain fruited mixed-culture beers And more. Note: After we recorded this episode, Pryes went on to win a World Beer Cup bronze for Soirée, which had also won bronze at FOBAB.

Earlier in November, the Illinois Craft Brewers Guild put on the 21st Festival of Wood and Barrel-Aged Beers to recognize some of the breweries making the finest wood-aged beers around. We got our hands on five (out of the eleven) Illinois medal winners - and our first-ever Best of Show beer - to help us audition to become FoBAB judges some year. We share some FoBAB “by the numbers” and recap the awards with a slight angle towards our Fantasy FoBAB league interests. Also, Craig is opening up to the possibility of tinsel, Ryan is destroying himself for pleasure (as usual), and we point out which beer is the Warren Zevon of barrel-aged beers.  Medal Winners Reviewed Off Color Brewing - Mezcal Barrel-Aged Beer for Tacos (Gold in Specialty/Experimental) Sketchbook Brewing Co. - Red Wine Barrel-Aged Tripel G (Gold in Other Pale Beer) Half Acre Beer Company - Orin (Silver in Other Dark Beer) Mikerphone Brewing - Slappa Da Base (Silver in Strong Porter/Stout) Hidden Hand/Solemn Oath Brewery - Oaked Val D'or (Gold in Wild Beer/Brett & Best of Show)

Rachael & Jen talk about their experiences judging at FoBAB for the first time.

We kick off Barrel-Aged December a little early with a six pack of mostly locals who took home medals at this year's Festival of Wood and Barrel-Aged Beers. Unsurprisingly, this lineup is all killer with no filler, but there are a few style surprises from some familiar breweries that steal the show. We stumble into covering a whole category's winners while running through an updated FoBAB “by the numbers.” Also, we consider how much wood a beer must touch to qualify for an entry; Craig is gonna get so yelled at during rankings; and we implore someone at ICBG to let Randy Mosher check his coat.  Medal-Winning Beers Reviewed Off Color Brewing - Tequila Barrel-Aged Beer for Tacos (Gose style beer aged in oak tequila barrels with lime juice and salt added) - Bronze in Other Pale Beer Forbidden Root Brewery [Columbus ] & Derive Brewing Company - Well Positioned (Oak-fermented Saison) - Silver in Other Pale Beer Ravinia Brewing Company - Spanish Cedar-Aged Steep Ravine (IPA aged w/ Spanish Cedar) - Gold in Other Pale Beer Around the Bend Beer Co. - 1825 (Barrel-aged Raspberry Ale w/ Brett) - Silver in Wild Beer/Brett More Brewing Company - Lucky Bamboo (Rum barrel-aged Tiki Sour w/ pineapple, passionfruit, lemon, lime, and bitters) - Silver in Fruit Beer Mikerphone Brewing & Goose Island Beer Co. - Double LP: Side B (English Barleywine aged in bourbon barrels) - Gold in Barleywine/Wheatwine

It's September. Some would say fall has arrived, but that's up for debate. More importantly, we've entered DC's biggest season for beer. DC beer lovers are getting jazzed for one event in particular – Battle of the Barrel-Aged Beers, the event that sets off DC Beer Week. Woop woop!

You can finish the rest of that song... But here we are, sweating with the oldies on a 90-something degree day, drinking, of all things, Bourbon barrel-aged beers! Maybe you associate these beers with cooler weather, and maybe we do too, but with Jim's collection complete, it was time that Zack and Jim dig into these fine Bourbon barrel-aged beers. They discuss the highs and lows of beers by brands including Goose Island, Founders, and New Holland. Cheers!

Today, we're talking about not one, but dozens of breweries ... it's FoBAB weekend! What is FoBAB? It's the Festival of Wood & Barrel-Aged Beers, hosted by the Illinois Craft Brewers Guild.

Not to be confused with FoBAB (Festival of Wood and Barrel-Aged Beers) or MOBAB (Missouri’s Board of Anime Bookstores), this episode simply promises more barrel-aged beers. Five dark beers with a few adjuncts and unique barrels thrown in, this lineup has more than one beer that’ll be on our best of the year list. Also, we discuss a Zubaz incident, summon a Pacino moment, get frustrated again by Kid Craig, and call for more jiggly stouts. We’re going to need moMoBAB.  Beers Reviewed Bent Paddle Brewing Co. - Double Shot Double Black (Imperial black ale w/ coffee and vanilla, aged in bourbon barrels) Third Space Brewing - Mystic Berry (Barrel-aged coffee imperial stout w/ blackberry, blueberry, and vanilla bean) Werk Force Brewing Company - Bourbon Barrel-Aged Mint Chocolate Chip Sleepy Bear (Bourbon barrel-aged imperial stout w/ cacao nibs, vanilla, and mint)Half Acre Beer Co./The Veil Brewing Co. - Soak In Shadow (Imperial stout aged in apple brandy barrels w/ lactose) Goose Island Beer Co. - Suffolk County Stout (Bourbon barrel-aged stout)

This week on Beer Sessions Radio, Jimmy is hearing from three experts in barrel aging. He welcomes previous co-host Ben Keene, a beer, cider, and travel writer from Seattle, WA; Matt Lincoln from Fremont Brewing in Seattle, WA; and Jake Endres from Crooked Run Brewing in Sterling, VA. Ben kicks off the conversation by explaining the differences barrel aging can make, highlighting the complexity and bold intensity the process brings to beers. Matt emphasizes the layering of flavors that barrel aging offers, as well as the unique characteristics of each individual spirit barrel. Then, Jake lets us in on a couple of brewing secrets, including why Black Friday is such a big day for new beer releases, and how aged hops should be your best friend. Plus, the group walks Jimmy through the aging process from brew to bottle, or more recently, cans, which they all agree have accelerated in popularity during Covid-19. Finally, Ben, Jake, and Matt offer up a couple of barrel-aged inspirations for anyone looking to try out a new brewery.Beer List - Ben: Ferment Brewing CompanyJake: Pen Druid Brewing and Allagash Brewing CompanyMatt: Perennial Artisan AlesPhoto Courtesy of Ben Keene.Heritage Radio Network is a listener supported nonprofit podcast network.

Get yourself an accountability partner or team. People with the same goals and struggles and routines. #QCVO had our monthly zoom meeting and there’s always a nugget to take away or a spark of inspiration to stoke. Burn baby burn!! Before the big snow today, I saw this trail. Not sure what it is that drags it’s dirty ass from barn to barn...but it probably needs a name.  Any ideas? On this weeks #WhatsTappening segment Glenn Cole and I talked about #BarrelAged beers where they age beer in a barrel that used to house booze (whiskey most likely). Many Quad Cities breweries have their version. Some even feature local barrels from Mississippi River Distillery. StageHands: Practicing scripts using a different point of view is a great way to connect to the story. If you’re not connected then the audience has no chance. We got a couple good snow storms this past week which made it less fun to drive but more fun to look at.  As you'll see in my YouTube content below...it inspired me to coin the phrase "Aggressively Pretty."

Like birds of a feather, you'll always find Columbus and Mosaic hops a flight upon the aromatic winds of dank citrus and resinous tropical fruit. These airborne companions blow in a foggy, hazy cloud of huge flavor and juicy vibes throughout the Capital City! This week Justin, Dan, Walt and Mark get a chance to sample Capital Companions Columbus-Mosaic Hazy IPA and describe the delights of our two barrel-aged offerings, Spirited Acquaintances Bourbon Barrel-Aged Ale, a collaboration with Middle West Spirits and Uisce Beatha Irish Whiskey Barrel-Aged Imperial Coffee Stout with Lactose and Stauf’s coffee. This episode is jam packed with flavor!

Barrel-aged December is now officially underway, and we’re delighted to crack open four medal-winning Illinois beers from this year’s Festival of Wood and Barrel Aged Beers. Appropriately enough, the barrels are the star of the show, as these four very different styles are presented without additional adjuncts - just wood-made magic. Also, we have our friend Aaron Keefner from More Brewing stop by the Zoom to talk about the beer entry fee he paid to be our first remote guest, but actually he talks mostly about what’s new with More, their barrel-aging program, and their recent move into distribution. We also share our pitches for 90s-themed jukebox musicals, have a pretty weird night in the barn, dare brewers to make a barrel-aged hefeweizen, and determine what’s a sipper and who’s a gulper. Brace yourself for six feet of tube candy. Beers Reviewed Imperial Oak Brewing - Savage Oak Gold (Belgian-style Sour Golden Ale) Silver Medal: Wild Beer Sours (Acidic) Urban Brew Labs - Abba G.O.A.T.

To continue Barrel-Aged December, we track down five beers that brought home medals from this year’s Festival of Wood and Barrel-Aged Beers. (We swear this isn’t a month-old FoBAB recap show.) We put on our judges’ hats and try to find the secret to what makes a beer medal-worthy at Chicago’s premier beer competition. Craig lazily tries to shoehorn Baby Yoda into the show, Ryan just wants to be recognized for his cake, and we act like a couple of drinking cockswains. Pour it on your ham!

Once upon a time, brewing barrel-aged stouts was a simple case of putting one batch into a barrel then pulling it out and releasing it. But for Revolution Brewing, a happy accident led to a new way to think about blending stocks of barrel-aged beers in order to achieve more depth and complexity. Today, the brewery now intentionally brews to replicate that effect, and has extended the concept behind it across the various styles of barrel-aged beers they brew. In this episode, they discuss the details of this process—manipulating mash temperatures to produce sweeter and drier versions of each of their base recipes, aging those different versions for different lengths of time, and blending percentages of beer at different ages and sweetness levels to create beers that achieve the metrics they’ve developed for “balance value” and “malt complexity value.” “[By having] all these barrels with extended aging and different finishing gravities, it allows us to put a metric on it and create and design a beer rather than just having it go into a barrel and then emptying it every year," says Scott. In addition to barrel-aging, Cibak discusses their approach to the newly released Hazy Hero IPA, including their counterintuitive approach to hops—bittering with hops extract in the whirlpool and dry hopping the yeast pitch—and more.

The DC Beer Show visits Sapwood Cellars in Columbia, Maryland, where Adam and Richard speak with owners Scott Janish and Michael Tonsmeire. Scott has recently released the book The New IPA: Scientific Guide to Hop Aroma and Flavor. Michael is the author of American Sour Beers. These two styles — hoppy IPAs and sour barrel-aged beers – define the majority of the beers the team is creating.Sapwood Cellars runs a 10-barrel set-up designed to give their beers definition and body. They serve almost exclusively in their taproom, where they have ann unusual approach to serving sizes they feel presents their products in the best possible light. Sapwood Cellars also offers some special experiences we haven't seen anywhere else. Beer lovers can work with Scott and Mike to make their own custom beer, sign up for a "blending day" where they can help the brewers blend and formulate the final product to be served. Scott and Michael share their thoughts on 3.8 Special, their collaboration with DC Beer, why they love Calypso hops, and the unique properties of their all-Mosaic brew.

Happy Black Friday everyone!  Ryan, Evan, Brett, and Michael share thoughts on the annual Thanksgiving share hosted by Ryan.  We blind taste different years of WeldWerks Brewing's Medianoche barrel aged stout, enjoy some Open Spaces by Side Project Brewing, and discuss how we are out to get our allotments of Bourbon County Brand Stout from Goose Island Beer Co.  Chicago's FOBAB (Festival of Wood and Barrel-Aged Beers) also just finished and we review winners and how great it is for the city.  Cheers!!

The 16th annual Festival of Wood and Barrel-Aged Beers is almost upon us, and we continue our yearly tradition of geeking out about our favorite Chicago festival. We have five beers from brewers who will be pouring at this year’s fest while we also share some festival tips and breweries to seek out. Ryan also has done his homework as he subjects Craig to a few rounds of FoBAB history trivia. But we also review the bathrooms at the Google HQ, recklessly redefine the word “subtle”, enter the Apriverse, discover a new fetish, and get a little oxidation in our eyes. It’s more fun than you can fit in a...uh...some kind of….uh...liquid-holding vessel?

This week the boys dive head first (well mouth first really) into the world of barrel-aged beer. With the alcohol percent dialed up way past 11 Cock and Croc put their sobriety on the line for the benefit of all beer kind and in the pursuit of further beer knowledge. Although the latter is slightly lacking as per the boyz’ usual level of research. But as ever they make up for it in enthusiasm and a gradual decent into incoherence as the toasty-ness increases exponentially. A beer or two does head to translate their ramblings. Enjoy!

The Home Base boys drink something different and have loads of fun. Seriously. We're not joking. Why don't you believe me?!?

Each fall, Chicago holds one of the best beer fests in the country, so don’t blame us for getting all giddy about it. We talk a lot about what we’re excited for at the 15th Festival of Wood and Barrel-Aged Beers and review beers from some of the better breweries set to pour. Yes, a lot of the FoBAB talk has a bit of a relevancy expiration date, but there’s a lot more general beer and festival discussion as we sip five impressive barrel-aged beers. But also, we answer humanity’s best question, take sides on two late 90s teen movies, reveal Craig’s jelly aversion, and get ready for some hot Jeff-on-Jeff action.

In our yearly moment of clearheadedness after the Festival of Barrel-Aged Beers, we take on four non-alcoholic beers for the sake of science. To take our minds off of these near beers, we go over all of our FoBAB beer highlights. But you’ll learn a lot about how non-alcoholic beer is made, why there are no NA-IPAs, and what might be the worst beer-like drink we’ve had on the show. We also find out what Craig is doing in a Petsmart (Petco?), what happens when Ryan pours his own beer, and how to elevate High Life beyond reproach. NA Beers: Buckler Non-Alcoholic Beer (Heineken) Krombacher Weizen Alkoholfrei Kaliber (Guiness) Clausthaler Dry-Hopped Ryan’s FoBAB Top 5 List: 5. Horse Thief Hollow - Margarita Gose (Gose w/ black limes, orange peel, and sea salt aged in tequilla barrels) 4. Mikerphone - Dynamite with a Laser Beam (Saison w/ blueberries, raspberries, and tart cherries aged in wine puncheons) 3. Weldwerks - Peach Climacteric (Sour blend w/ peaches aged in bourbon barrels) 2. Goose Island Clybourn - Big Lazy Joe (Imperial brown ale aged in bourbon barrels and blended with coffee) 1. Trinity - President’s Club (Sour pale ale w/ tangerine zest, coriander, peaches, and apricots aged on French oak) Craig’s FoBAB Top 5 List: 5. Off Color - Market Rate (Wild ale aged in red wine barrels with green strawberries) 4. Jester King - 2016 Spon 3 (or 4?) (Gueuze-style blended sour aged in wine puncheons) 3. Goose Island Clybourn - Impervious (Imperial stout aged in Woodford Reserve barrels) 2. Weldwerks - Peach Climacteric (Sour blend w/ peaches aged in bourbon barrels) 1. Wicked Weed - White Angel (Sour ale w/ Muscadine grapes aged in wine puncheons)

Jeff and Patrick describe the process of barrel aging beer. They talk about the historic role of wood barrels, the modern use of bourbon and wine barrels and the wild ales of Belgium. They discuss the flavor profiles, the economics and the art of barrel aging and blending beer.

For our brief, annual sabbatical, we drink ten different craft sodas while recapping our experience at this year’s Festival of Wood and Barrel-Aged Beers. We attempt to review the sodas, with five produced locally, but spend a lot of time reliving our favorite FoBAB moments. Our highlights include beers from Perennial, Off Color, 2nd Shift, Goose Island Clybourn Brewpub, Spiteful, Brickstone, The Lost Abbey, Metropolitan, Moody Tongue, August Schell, Half Acre, Temperance, Hardywood, and more. But there’s a lot of craft soda information packed in here too, and you’ll learn why we’re so grateful for Prohibition. We also work on Craig’s arts-and-crafts-based standup routine. Come for the FoBAB, stay for the sodas, leave with a gut full of sugar.   FoBAB Moments:   (00:11:30 - 00:18:18) Overall festival talk: organization, glassware gripes, expedited lines, strip club music, and more.
