This beer from cult favorite Portland brewery Hair of the Dog, which has been making super-strong barrel-aged beers for almost 30 years, is a barrel-aged variant of the brewery’s flagship Adam beer, an Old Ale inspired by historical recipes. Over the years, it’s been aged in a wide variety of cask types, from Heaven Hill rye to Ardbeg.

From Chicago-based Goose Island brewing, the Bourbon County line of beers is a perfect example of how not all barrel-aged beers are the same. From the flagship Bourbon County Brand Stout, a bruiser of a beer that clocks in at 13.8% ABV, stronger than many wines; to Bourbon County Brand Coffee Stout, made with coffee beans roasted by nearby Intelligentsia Coffee, every member of the Bourbon County line spends some serious time in bourbon barrels.
