Barrel Aging Program: Imperial Stouts and Mixed culture
Barrel Cellar Release: Friday, November 24th // 3pm
Director of Barrel Operations, Peter Calomiris and the Brew Team here at Heist Brewery and Barrel Arts are building a program that is truly unique. From the barrels, to the adjuncts, to their foundational principles of community uplift and elevation of local artistry our team is hard at work constructing a program that stands for more.
The brewers in North Carolina aren’t afraid to try different things. In addition, The communities that surround the craft beer industry are incredibly supportive of craft beer, the arts, and diverse cultures. We’re going to have the opportunity to do high end stout and barley wine blends with various spirit barrels. Each barrel is unique in that they manipulate the beer in their own way, even between the same spirit barrels they all create different tasting notes and aromas.

Barrel Aged Stouts
Imperial Stouts
In this program we do high end stout and barley wine blends with various spirit barrels. Each barrel is unique in that they manipulate the beer in their own way, even between the same spirit barrels they all create different tasting notes and aromas.
Mixed & Wild Culture
Mixed & Wild Culture
Mixed culture beer is the practice of using traditional brewing yeast strains (Saccharomyces), along with wild bacteria (Lactobacillus and Pediococcus) and Brettanomyces yeast . The introduction of wild strains allows for a greater complexity of flavors over a significantly longer period of fermentation and maturation.
