Before I begin, let me start by saying that I know little to nothing
about the beermaking process. Normally I would ask my husband this
question, but since I'm trying to find a beer for him for Christmas
(better late than never!) I can't ask him.

My husband and I were talking about the beermaking process the other
day, and he mentioned that there is some place where the beer is
brewed in open vats, instead of in closed containers. I seem to think
that it's somewhere in Europe, but I'm sure that doesn't help much!

Does anyone have any ideas on this?

Thanks in advance.
