Happy #WorldPlantingDay and #InternationalDayOfForests! It’s double the reason to celebrate trees, and of course, everything that comes from them! ???? Sure, we might be barrel-obsessed, but we’re also tree nerds who know how to party with a purpose. In an industry that heavily relies on forests, we’re committed to doing our part. Through our #SaveTheStave? tree-planting initiative, we partner with the Arbor Day Foundation to support reforestation in regions that need it most, funding thousands of new oak trees in 2024—not just for the bourbon industry, but for the ecosystems & communities that rely on them. Because barrels aren’t the only thing we want to leave behind for future generations. ???? #sustainability #arbordayfoundation #savethestave

I get it. It’s exciting to start a new barrel-aging project. Maybe you have dreams of lines of fans outside your facility door waiting to buy a bottle, or perhaps you’ve got your eyes set on taking home gold at FOBAB in Chicago. Before you practice your thank yous and acceptance speech, you need to make sure you’ve got your ducks in a row back at your brewery. It’s time to buy barrels, right? Almost. Before you head to midwestbarrelco.com, I’ve put together a quick list of five things you need to consider before ordering barrels for your brewery. ?? Style of beer: What kind of beer are you brewing? This will help you determine which barrels would be the best choice. Brewing a stout? Can’t go wrong with a used bourbon barrel. Or maybe try a rum barrel for something different. Want to age a lager or ale? Consider a gin or tequila barrel. ?? Time of year: This tip is related to the first one in that the time of year may help you determine the style of beer. Stouts and heavier brews go over well in the colder months, while craft beer fans favor lighter styles in warmer seasons. ?? How much beer: You have to know how much beer you’re making and how much of it is destined for barrels! Make sure you order enough barrels or you could be scrambling. ?? Aging duration: How long will your beer need to age? Only time and sampling will tell for sure, but you should be prepared to store your barrels for that length of time. ?? Hype: What’s an awesome barrel-aged beer release without some killer marketing? Have a plan to drum up the hype and get people excited about your beer. OK, now you’re good to buy barrels!
