Reading Quinno's review of a pub in Salisbury selling Wadworth's beers from wooden barells reminded me of this slogan from my very early days of beer drinking:it was probably anachronistic even then. I seem to think that some of the "craft" brewers are experimenting with "oak aged" beers in ex whisky or rum casks, and a few brewers such as Waddies and Theakstons use wood for at least some deliveries.Does anyone have opinions on whether beer tastes better from the wood? I had a couple of fine pints of varoius Theakston's offerings at the Lion in Blakey Ridge early this month: I'd like to think they were from the wood. For the nostalgic, such as me,the sight of a row of wooden casks on stillage at the back of the bar takes some beating:indeed , I've a stash of beer porn showing just such pictures. I know temperature control could be a problem, but not insurmountable.
