Bow & Arrow’s aim remains true with its barrel-aged program

Happy second anniversary, Bow & Arrow!

It’s always a pleasure to sit down with Shyla Sheppard and Missy Begay, owners of Bow & Arrow Brewing Co., and head brewer Ted O’Hanlan. After last summer’s piece on the barrel-aged program they were just rolling out then, I was eager to catch up on what we can look forward to in 2018. First up, Bow & Arrow turns two years old with a celebration and a first-ever bottle release this Saturday from noon to close. It’s the perfect opportunity to check out their comfortable German-style beer hall if you haven’t made the trip to their Wells Park neighborhood (608 McKnight Ave. NW) location yet.

Now a year into it, the barrel program at Bow & Arrow is impressive, especially considering the short amount of time they’ve had to build it. Sour and brett beers tend to take a steeper amount of investment in both equipment and time, and Ted and Shyla said they are committed to doing it right.
