We finally made it to the last installment of the series on barrel aged brews!

When we think of Brandies and Cognacs, we envision sitting beside a nice fire in a chair with a blanket over your legs, brandy in hand, almost romanticizing it like in a Norman Rockwell painting. Our friend Ben stops in again, and we actually cover a bit of ground on what these spirits are, where…
