| In Britain, seasonal brews for winter are high in alcohol, robust, malty, and dark. The two main styles of these brews are Old Ales and Barleywines. As the name suggests, barleywines are similar to wines in alcohol and need aging but are derived from grain, not the grape. Rogue's barleywine is described by beer expert Stuart Ramsey as: "A masterful, intense creation from brewer John Maier....it has achieved a depth and complexity usually associated with well-ages strong ales. I hope the brewery bottles some before it disappears." We call it the cognac of beers. An unfiltered and unfined Barleywine. Intense, robust, malty and dark. The cognac of beers. A hugh beer in a little bottle, this is a beer designed for sipping. |

As a home brewer I have to say I LOVE BEER. Not much else to say cept I LOVE BEER.
Thanks.
So many beers, so little time.
perhaps "hugh" means masculine.
I'm sucking down a Yuengling Chesterfield Ale as we speak.
Drinking at different locations together. Here's to you.
What are your suds of choice at the moment?
Re: Post #7.
In joke. You need to have been here awhile.
You're welcome! Home brewing dittos. In July I am taking my family to Oregon, and I will make a pilgrimage to Newport.
More hops!
Thanks ... some people are way too series. ;-)
