Olde School Barleywine

 
Availability: 
Limited

Bold, yet smooth! Fermented with dates and figs, this bone-crusher has a completely unique flavor.

The concept for this beer came from an old Cellerman's manual Sam came across (for more on that, check out the video below).

At 15% abv, this beer is a great candidate for ageing. Over time, the beer dries out and the pit fruit flavors come forward and the hops recede. Our recommendation? Grab a few bottles when you find it - enjoy one now, and age the others for a bit. Let us know which you prefer!

Olde School Barlewine comes out in the fall (November-ish) annually. It is available in 12-ounce bottles by the 4-pack. Want more info on the cowboy label art? Check out 'What's The Deal With The Cowboy?'

For more on the Olde School Barleywine (and our potential Olympic bid... yeah, there reallu is no connection, but it is in here anyway!), check out the clip below:
