@SpiritofBrum @MaltMusings @DKenni Nectarine Gin 🍹🍹

@MaltMusings @DKenni Yum 😋 I have some half dead nectarines that I was wondering what to do with 🥧

So this was the end result for the bag of damsons off my Dad's tree. Brilliant!

Roadtrip yesterday to collect some more barrels. These guys could have their own TV show 😅 #KeepingupwiththeCoopers #StaffordshireOak #SpiritofBirmingham

Beautiful Staffordshire Oak from a sustainably managed forest. These staves will be drying out for another wee while before being made into casks for our spirit. Heritage grain meets English Oak 🌾🌳 #SpiritofBirmingham

We ask a lot of our casks, and much like family members, they sometimes need a little TLC. That’s where local @jensenscooperage steps in, repairing and resizing where needed, ensuring our casks continue their all-important job of spirit maturation.

Master Cooper Alastair Simms gets to work on our fresh #bourbon casks! @jensenscooper @AlastairSimms

Second distillery tour of the day 5th in two days

Collected a few casks from the Coopers today. These front two are truly amazing and will create two very unique whiskies over the next few years. 🥃🌾

@sixpennybrewery Hi the sixpenny tap, we would be delighted to manufacture 2 oak firkin for you if you would email stuart.simms@jensenscooperage.com. Cheers Alastair

@AlastairSimms hello I’ve been meaning to contact you for several years, wondering if you might consider a commission to fabricate two wooden firkins for Sixpenny Brewery?

@TheJunctionCas Looking good Mr Midgley

Before you all fall out about what a real ale pub is about? This is what’s it all about to me

@NigelSommelier Nigel all the Cooper's at Jensens Cooperage can make casks by hand from start to finish and your more than welcome to come and have a look

Film of old style coopering in Bosnia, for cheese containers. Gives an idea as to how, possibly, ancient and mediaeval #beer barrels etc. would have been made. Except for the power planer obvs. Any thoughts @AlastairSimms? Via: Aleksa Crkvenjakov youtube.com/watch?v=bGHNry…

It's not always about the destination, & the last few years have been a bumpy ride, but we are getting there 🌾 I mean... this picture looks seriously like it was taken in a distillery 💥 #whiskeytobe #independent #siblings #madeinbirmingham #SoBs #SpiritofBirmingham #distillery
