Ah, the new issue of Beeradvocate magazine and its cupie doll tap handles. There was quite an outrage over this among circles so small that they might not even form circles. Funny no one thought that they were in drag or just detritus of toy box. • Anyway, this is a very light take on barley …

By the way, do you like my cinder block studio look for these mid-winter pictures? I realized I had a perfect tiny beer studio on a shelf right next to a light bulb that gives the sharpest photos. In the time of root vegetables for every meal and a drive to and from work in the dark, these things …

Stone? All hop monster brew. Barley wine? Malt bomb. How can this be? Ying can't be Yang any more than...than...the Red Sox can make peace with Yankees. It's like the eternally sworn mortal enemies Casey and Finnegan making nice nice!!! The beer in question? Stone Old Guardian Spring Release 2007 …
Session 12: Tomorrow Is Now And Barley Wine Is It

A few years ago, before most of you knew what a beer blog was, I posted a post with a list of the names of barley wines that would be available at a certain beer fest. My favorites in the list were Fish Leviathan, Lagunitas Old Gnarlywine and Winthrop Buzzards Breath. I've never had any of these …

Why do the rude Dutchmen laugh behind her back? I am quite taken by the label, a charming and not at all disease-ridden 19th century agricultural worker lady bringing in the sheaves. Laugh? They should be all rejoicing as this is a really nice beer - a hybrid of American wheat meeting barleywine …
Barley Wine: Doggie Claws 2006, Hair of the Dog, Oregon

From last month's troublesome shipment. • Deep cherry red amber ale under the slimmest of foam and white rim. Thick and still ale, almost syrup. Masses of resinous green and bitter tea, candy caned hops with a line of chili hot heat over rich candied fruit malt - peach, cherry, pear - with …
Barley Wine: Old Horizontal, Victory, PA, USA

Barley wine. Sorta like winter warmers times two that have funnier names. No insanely massive hopping or extreme exotic malts, though there is a bit of each. More like a lack of water really. Two other favorites of mine are Old Foghorn from Anchor and Druid Fluid from Middle Ages. • Old …
Five More From Weyerbacher, Easton, PA, USA

Last fall I reviewed the Weyerbacher Brewing Company's Old Heathen Imperial Stout and the Imperial Pumpkin Ale and when I was last down south I picked up this mix of five more of their brews. Weyerbacher has a new web site which is worth checking out. In their history section they explain some of …
Christmas Ales

The siblings are in town for early uncles and auntie first Christmas. I stocked in well over the last month or so...and then we all get sleepy after a big sherry trifle and only open a couple. I will just have to work through these over the next few days - a Belgian, three English, two central New …
