Good by Old Friend...

Hey all,

The Barleywine has gone away for another year. She was tasting great for her last few weeks of life.

Now with the open tap we could put on the Imperial India Brown Ale. This beer is crazy hoppy. It is calculated at 60 IBU's but it tastes way more then that with a huge resin character coating the mouth after the swallow. Of course you have the dark crystal sweetness of a brown ale up front but then the hops take over. At 9% abv all you Hopheads be careful. This beer drinks like a brown ale with the alcohol/hop kick of an Imperial IPA.

Give one a whirl.

Cheers,
Tyler

  2. Tod told me it was loaded with Nugget? I can't wait! 9% may be a bit high for a lunch beer, but I'll be over at some point to get this guy fresh.

  3. The barleywine was fantastic, but sounds like it has a worthy successor. I'll have to find some time this week to give it a shot.

  4. Hey guys, not to go off-topic, but as the winter passes on I keep nervously looking at what's in the works, but to no avail. Is there going to be a Winter-Weizen this year?

  5. Happy Hoptizization! You guys need an IPhone App - maybe Tap Dance or Standard and Pours?
