“Give me a woman who loves
beer and I will conquer the world."
– Kaiser Wilhelm
HISTORY
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.”
