Those who attended the Sierra Nevada Beer Tasting event are aware that the Bigfoot Barleywine is coming soon! Next Wednesday, November 14th we will be opening the Bigfoot. For this Freestyle Beer Tasting, we’re inviting everyone to buy and share one of the many Barleywine beer’s available, such as Stone Old Guardian, Full Sail Old Boarhead, Flying Dog Horn Dog, Avery Hog Heaven, Fish Tale 102, Fish Tale Leviathan, etc. Barleywine is a style of strong ale originating in England in the nineteenth century but now brewed worldwide. It is the strongest member of the bitter family of styles, reaching ABV’s of 8-12% and up. It is called a barley wine because it can be as strong as wine; but since it is made from grain rather than fruit, it is in fact a beer.
