Would the consensus be for 'Oak Aged' beer? As in saying it on the label, or 'Cask' beer? Oh or even 'Bottled Conditioned'? Or how about all three?

~Mike~ · 10 May 2013 at 10:15

I got frightened by that avatar.

Just wanted clarification on whether it was 'Oak Aged' on the label or that and 'cask' and what was allowed for 'cask' as it can be interpreted in different ways.

I'm happy with keeping it 'Oak Aged' or 'Aged in casks' on the label if that is the general concensus.

Martynt74 · 10 May 2013 at 10:28

I think so as otherwise it could be a little too close to the Draught round

On a side note it was my birthday yesterday and after recently complaining i was fed up drinking nice beers which come in 330ml bottles out of pint glasses i got this

Also you can tell the wife understands me well because i got taken to a couple of independant wine shops in Clitheroe and told to get whatever i wanted. Ended up with a bottle of Whisky, 12 bottles of red wine, some English sparkling wine and about 10 intriguing looking beers

See once again we're all going what should they be, whenever this should be all done and dusted within the two week gap we had at the start of the competition....

I'm happy to go with Oak aged or Cask aged on the label....

Everyone has a say and so far that's 2 for the above.

Belated Happy Birthday Marvt74

I had assumed that the beer would have to be aged for some time in oak. Oak casks are almost never used nowadays in pubs. The beer will be aged for some time in oak at the brewery and then transferred to a metal cask. Though, that's not to say all cask beers have seen oak - most haven't.

If it was any cask beer, then surely that should have be done for C? *Shrugs*. I was planning on entering a beer that has been bottled after being aged in an oak cask for some time.

We are presently voting on what's to be allowed.... and so far everyone appears to be in favour of allowing what you wish to enter. If it has 'Oak aged' or 'cask' on the label it's fine mate.

You guys are lucky I only get one day off a week! Imagine how much more moaning there'd be if I had multiple days off!
