What Beer is beechwood aged?

While beechwood aging isn't common, it is used for other beers as well. Here's what to know:

* What it is: Beechwood aging involves resting beer in tanks made of American beechwood. This process imparts a subtle sweetness and smooth, creamy texture to the beer.

* Why it's used: Beechwood adds a unique flavor profile and helps to stabilize the beer, which can be especially beneficial for lagers.

* Other examples:

* Other Samuel Adams beers: Some other Samuel Adams beers like Rebel IPA and Boston Cream Stout also undergo beechwood aging.

* Craft breweries: Some smaller craft breweries experiment with beechwood aging, especially those focusing on lagers or other styles where smoothness is desired.

Note: Many beers are simply "aged" on wood chips, which isn't the same as beechwood aging. Wood chips are often used to impart a certain flavor profile but don't require resting the beer in a whole tank made of wood.
