Hello fellow barrel folks,
Does anyone know for sure if one must state "blended" on labels for beers that were aged in barrels. The available info isn't crystal clear. We have done a few beers where the entire beer was aged in a rum barrel and labeled it "barrel aged". TTB loved it---no problems. As we begin to bring our beers from our barrel program online where various beers are blended with young beer that never saw a barrel, I'd be curious/appreciative to see what other brewers claim on the label that was approved regarding any blending.
Best Regards
Derek
