The WIZA Barrel Project

Whidbey Island Zymurgy Association’s Barrel Project uses our 55 gallon M+ French Oak barrel sourced from a winery in California.  The barrel is filled with beer home brewed in small batches by the community of WIZA members.  This Flanders Red Ale is aged in the barrel until pulled for sampling or pours.   

The current run of Flanders Red is brewed from the club recipe and fermented in primary with wild yeast harvested from a bottle of Lost Abbey's 2013 box set. After primary, the beer will be transferred to the barrel and aged.  Contributors will be credited with tokens to draw off aged beer at any time in the future the tap is open for pours.  Announcements regarding dates for sampling, for opening the barrel for pours, or other barrel events will be made on this web page and/or the club's facebook page.
