S2 E6 - The Future is Beer

This one's all about old beer. Not that dodgy corner-shop can you've had kicking around at the back of your cupboard for almost a year - we mean beer that's been deliberately, lovingly looked after in a barrel, in a bottle, or both, to develop complexity and flavour. Beer Sommelier/Belgian beer expert Sofie Vanrafelghem tells us about traditional Belgian aged beers. We ask Dougal Gunn Sharp, co-founder of Innis & Gunn, how he gets the delicious flavours of oak into his beers on such a large scale. Our own brew this week is a big, boozy sherry oak chip-infused stout.
