wine types
Can beer/barleywine be aged for multiple yrs like wine ? Which types and for how long ?
The darker and stronger the beer, the more likely it is to peak after the first year. Hoppiness helps too but the beer I won’t even touch for a year or two is spruce beer, which contains no hops at all. The spruce extract, like hops, acts as a preservative. As far as “how long” goes, You just have to keep sampling your beer until it reaches its peak. A tough job but somebody has to do it.
