I work for a restaurant that does their own barrel aged cocktails. We have some barrels that are being retired and I am taking a few to try and age beers in. First is the Manhattan Barrel which has had a few batches of our house made Manhattans in them for the past 6-9 months (Rye, Sweet Vermouth, and bitters). Second are Margarita Barrels which we've aged our house made Margaritas in (Tequila and Cointreau).
Any ideas or opinions on what beers I should age in them? I was thinking a Belgian Dubbel for the Manhattan Barrels and a Belgian Wit for the Margarita Barrels.
I think these beers have potential to be pretty amazing. I would love to hear your thoughts, concerns, and opinions/ideas.
I may also be able to get a hold of some of our Negroni barrels and possibly one or two Sazarac barrels.
