Barrel aging is an entirely different manner. Fullers are doing it now, and some British brewers have been doing it for years. PS. Barrel aging is an entirely different manner.

Apart from the cool graphic being wood, I didn't use the word "wood" once? But thanks for trying to let me down gently. I'm pretty sure Fullers still has some, too, BTW. I was at an event at the consulate in San Francisco a few years ago, and they had a wooden cask from Fuller's, plus Falling Rock in Denver gets one airlifted from Chiswick every now and again. A lot of American brewers are also aging their beer in wooden barrels, though you're correct that they then almost always transfer them to the metal kind of keg. I just didn't think I said otherwise. Ah, so misunderstood ... Did I say otherwise? Apart from the cool graphic being wood, I didn’t use the word “wood” once? But thanks for trying to let me down gently.

Sorry to break it to you Jay, but VERY few wooden casks are used these days. Samuel Smith's is the only brewery I can think of that still puts their real ale in them. The overwhelming majority of casks are metal, with a growing number of plastics floating around. If only!
