DIY Barn Wood Beer Flight Tasting Boards
Celebrating the Everyday, Liz's DIY //
Out of all the DIY projects we did for our Brew on the Roof party, making our very own beer flight tasting boards from old barn wood was definitely my favorite project. With a little bit of sweat (Liz made me use a hand saw to cut the wood so the boards would look more rustic :) ), a few hours on the roof (isn’t everyone’s workshop on their roof?), and 48 holes later, we had the perfect tasting boards for our party.
A few additional details on making your own DIY tasting boards:
If you don’t have access to old barn wood, feel free buy wood at your local hardware store. And you can also feel free to use a table saw or circular saw to cut the wood to length. To make the holes in the wood you will need a 2″ forstner bit. We got ours at Lowes. Also, be sure to have well charged batteries or or a corded drill. Cutting out 2″ holes will cause a lot of strain on the drill and ware the battery out quickly. Or better yet, find a friend who has a drill press to help out :). When drilling, be sure to stay as level as possible and only go about 1/2″ to 3/4″ deep into the wood.
Finally, your tasting boards are not complete without tasting glasses. We purchased ours from a restaurant supply store online and they shipped them directly to our house the next day. Check out the Webstaurant Store for more details.
