Brewed in the English Barleywine tradition and aged in bourbon barrels for 17 months, Bourbon Barrel Brick Kiln’s deep mahogany hue gives way to aromas and flavors of English toffee, caramel, and raisin. Extended aging in bourbon barrels adds deep notes of vanilla and oak to the beer, named in tribute to the Southeast Ohio brick industry. The kilns of Athens Brick Company, established in 1890, once operated down the street from our current production brewery.
