On July 2nd, 2023, a ragtag group of Malt Infusers met at MadTree brewing to fill a barrel with an English Barleywine (recipe) that each member brewed. These are pictures from the barrel fill…

The members let the barrel sit until early November, when some members met at MadTree to sample the beer from the barrel. Those in attendance determined that the beer needed more time. In early January some members met again at MadTree to sample the beer, and this time determined it was ready. Members convened at MadTree again on January 20 to drain the barrel.

Big thanks to MadTree for their support!

The 2024 Barrel Project is in planning and will likely be a Breakfast Stout. Information on joining the barrel project will be sent out in the next club email – if you aren’t getting those emails, sign up here.
