Welcome to European Tribune. It's gone a bit quiet around here these days, but it's still going.

Speaking of beer, I ran across a story today that claimed that beer aged like bourbon was all the rage.

Allgash Curieux (Bourbon Barrel-Aged Triple) - Beer Advocate

While I'm more of wine drinker than a beer drinker, I am curious about this. Has anyone tasted beer aged this way? Comments?

Can't help you.  The nearest we come is purchasing Trader Joe's Holiday Ale.

Only a few weeks ?? Crikey, there are loads of beers that have spent a few weeks of contemplation. Whisky barrel aged is quite popular, although I don't really like them (I don't like whisky).

Sherry barrels and bourbon barrels are also popular. Some are aged just for a few weeks, some rest for a year.

Of course, in Belgium they're a bit more extreme, some beers sit for 5 years in the barrel
