The Brewmaster Series is a chance for us to sit down and have a conversation with Illinois Brewers. In this first episode, we got a chance to talk about barrel-aged beer on the heels of one of our biggest events, the Festival of Barrel and Wood-Aged Beers a.k.a. FOBAB [illinoisbeer.com/fobab]. You’ll get to hear from Pipeworks Brewing’s “Strong” Mike Schallau, Off Color Brewing’s John Laffler, Revolution Brewing’s Wil Turner and Temperance Beer Company’s Claudia Jendron as they talk about the process of barrel-aging, the craft behind it, and how it all leads up to the actual FOBAB event.
