Once emptied they can not use the barrels again as they have to use fresh ones every time. Some breweries buy these spent barrels and fill them up with beer to age generally from 3-12 months. There is still some of the spirits left in the wood (angel's share) that impart their flavors into the beer and hence being called bourbon aged beer. Hope that clarifies things :)
Thanks.

I think it'll be difficult for you to initiate a trade without any history on the board, so expect to send your end first.

I don't need any beer right now.
