New Badge: Barrel-Aged Beer Day 2025

Happy Barrel-Aged Beer Day 2025!

Each year, on the first Friday of October, we honor the time, patience, and devotion that define this cherished tradition.

Beer can lie in barrels for months or even years, biding its time until the perfect moment arrives for its flavors to be enjoyed—and that kind of dedication is nothing to bark at.

Help us celebrate Barrel-Aged Beer Day with our favorite Old Man Barrel!
