Wooden shives are a simple, traditional ale cask keg closure used to seal the shive bush on a beer cask or firkin. Made from porous wood, they help create a tight seal during transport and work with a spile to let the cask breathe and release CO2 in a controlled way. Because wood naturally expands with moisture, it can mold to the opening better than plastic and is especially useful when the cask opening is slightly worn or misshapen.
