Default Oak Barrels

Who makes and where does one find the best (or at least really good) oak barrels for aging?? Cost is not really the issue, quality is though. Cheers!!!!!

Long legs means more room for beer!

I have had success in contacting local microbreweries and talking to the head brewer. They should be able to help focus your search. Barrels are something I would try to buy somewhat local, yet that is personal preference.

I got my 8 gallon bourbon barrel from http://stores.intuitwebsites.com/TuthilltownSpirits/-strse-Barrels/Categories.bok which i am very happy with. They had fast shipping and great customer service.

They seem to only have 3 gallons currently but you could email them and see what they have coming up.
