For anyone who’s experienced a quality tequila shot with a crisp, ice-cold lager, it’s clear that hops and agave are delicious partners. So, it shouldn’t be surprising that beer aged in tequila barrels can create a sophisticated brew with nuanced flavors.

The process is straightforward, but the results can be profound. Freshly brewed beer is placed in casks that once held tequila and as it matures, the beer takes on a variety of flavors from the wood and transforms into something new.
