Barleywine Tyme

During Whole Hog Brewery's latest beer fest in August 2009, we demonstrated to our patrons how to homebrew. We made a 5 gallon batch of American styled Barleywine and a 5 gallon small beer with the second runnings of the grains. The O.G. for the Barleywine was our highest yet, weighing in at a hefty 1.100. Final AVB was a whopping 12.5%.

Both the Barleywine and the small beer are under carbonation. For the brave souls that wish to try the Barleywine, please leave your car keys on the kitchen counter. Half a pint glass = light headed. Full pint glass = buzzed. Two pint glasses and your not driving home for 6 hrs. Three pint glasses and your likely dead or in desperate need of help. My suggesting, use a shot glass or blend with another beer.
