Product details

Bourbon barrel-aged beers have been a hugely popular style ever since American craft brewers first started exploring this deliciously innovative technique in the 1990s. And the results of those experiments have only become more sought-after over the past decades.

We've packed the best elements of the style, along with the finest ingredients, into a foolproof recipe kit that brings the best of the craft breweries to you. By starting with a stronger-than-average robust porter, then infusing it with bourbon-soaked oak (we recommend Maker's Mark), the end result is quite possibly the best beer ever. You'll have to supply your own bourbon, so be sure to save a little to sip on brew day to really capture the spirit. The intense aroma and flavor of toasted American oak and the sweet graininess of good bourbon meld with the bittersweet roastiness of porter to make for a very characterful beer.

Due to the high starting gravity of this kit, we recommend pitching multiple packs of yeast or preparing a yeast starter for best results.

A must have kic recipe

As I've come to expect from Northern Brewer, a very well put together Beer kit, and very nicely and securely packaged. Ingredients are fresh, nicely labeled, and fantastic quality. Just one suggestion, the mesh bag for the grain could be a little bit longer. Other than that, I am extremely satisfied with this kit.

Great recipe - even better customer service

As always, the team of professionals at Northern Brewer provide laser focused, top notch customer service and experience. Lucas addressed the few questions I had on the recipe and my handling the fermentation in my kegerator. Thank you so much. I am hoping the bourbon barrel porter is a Holiday great taste!
