The beer, named “Gerstner Wood-Aged Pilsner,” is aged on White Oak and American Cherry wood. According to a press release from Warped Wing, the wood is used in the production of Gerstner’s wood chests.

“Over the past year and with a focus on craftsmanship, both companies have been touring and learning about each other’s business and looking for ways to work together,” said Paul Burgess, marketing director at H. Gerstner & Sons. “Our founder Harry Gerstner built his original chest, and in fact his business, by utilizing the leftover white oak from his father’s cooperage. So, it seemed very appropriate to use leftover Oak and Cherry wood to age a German-style pilsner beer for a downtown Dayton establishment.”
