Do a Barrel Age

I've only become familiar with just one brewery in or outside the Pittsburgh area that has pulled-off a well-known barrel-aged beer. That would be Full Pint in North Versailles with Rye Rebellion. I'm not the world's biggest fan of this sub-style, but I'm curious to see when some of the local breweries try do add one to the growing arsenal of oak/bourbon infused brews. I was able to try a bit of Anderson Valley's Wild Turkey Barrel-Aged Stout not too long ago and I actually enjoyed it. The barrel it was aged in didn't overpower the other aspects of the beer.

I was excited to discover earlier today that another local brewery is taking a whirl at this creative process. It just so happens that it's just a few miles from where Full Pint is located. I'm fairly sure that this brewery hasn't tried this before, but please correct me if I'm wrong!
