Although it's still a few months away I'm already getting excited about this year's FyneFest. It's one of the most important dates in my calendar, not just because we head up there to host our Meet the Brewer panel discussions, but because it's simply one of the best beer-focussed events that the UK has to offer.While I tend to get misty-eyed over glorious pints of Jarl from the source, I also recognise it as a chance to try some truly special beers that I don't normally get to enjoy. The Origins Bar, where our talks take place, is a great example of this. Here you'll find plenty of funky wild beers and mixed ferments from several breweries including Fyne's own Origins project, plus wild-fermented ciders from producers such as Ross-on-Wye. For this discussion we decided to focus on the biggest beers pouring at the festival: stouts, barleywines, strong saisons and biere de garde—the kind of beers a situation like FyneFest is the perfect place to treat yourself too. On the panel I'm joined by Gareth Young from Glasgow's Epochal Barrel Fermented Ales, Lally Morrison from Polly's Brew Co in Mold, North Wales, and Sean Knight from Siren Craft Brew in Berkshire. Each brewer brought something truly special for us to taste, in addition to their wealth of knowledge and experience in producing these kinds of beers. Tune in for a little bit of ‘how' but plenty more ‘why' and, indeed, why we can expect lots more big beers from these breweries in the future.We're able to produce The Pellicle Podcast directly thanks to our Patreon subscribers, and our sponsors Loughran Brewers Select.

Join us on our latest episode where we talk about all things alcohol, with a special emphasis on alcohol history in the United States. And of course we try a new beverage during our discussion. Another one from Side Project Brewing out of Maplewood, Missouri. Featured beer: 10 Year Barleywine, a 17% barrel aged English Barleywine from Side Project Brewing. Per the description from the brewery, "More than 2 years ago we began brewing in anticipation of this day, focusing on a blended Barleywine for this release and showcasing a truly special beer, M.J.K. in a new light. This beer consists of single and double barrel-aged M.J.K. finished for 18 to 27 months in Willett Family Estate Bourbon Barrels. A thoughtful splash of Längst reigns in the intensity and finishes the character of this special blend of deep, rich, luxurious English Barleywines."What kind of alcohol did America prefer throughout history?

Martin went dumpster diving on some webshops and found a couple of Founders barrel aged beers. Released years ago, who knows what horrors they have seen in warehouses and shelves. Remember when Founders was a thing? They've really disappeared from the European market the last few years. Velvet Rush (2021) is a brown ale which should have notes of coffee, chocolate and vanilla extract. Milk sugar was added before being barrel aged. Needless to say, most of that was missing. Nemesis is a straight up American style barleywine, which means it should be a little hoppy tasting. The have definetly faded on this. #beer #craftbeer #drinks #brownale #barleywine #founders
On this episode of All Things Beer, hosts Mark and Pat take a deep dive into the rich history and bold flavors of barleywine—a style that's as legendary as it is misunderstood. They're joined by Angelo Signorino, brewmaster at Barley's Brewing, and Sandy Hugill, Cicerone, beer judge, and craft beer enthusiast, to explore the origins of this high-gravity ale, its evolution from historic English strong ales to today's craft beer scene, and what makes it such a unique experience for brewers and drinkers alike.

To close out the 2024-2025 Deep Wood release lineup, Revolution somehow finds a way to do some new things with barleywine while retaining the spirit of their barrel program we've all come to know and love. It's all about interesting woods here (and a little help from some friends) as we've hardly been so happy about experiencing the barleywobbles. Also, Craig's sweet stock is in jeopardy, Ryan's recovering from hosting his 10 year old's birthday party, and we make some rankings promises that we actually keep (for once). It's audio Sur Lie, because we're definitely on the slop.

One would agree that a higher ABV beverage would qualify as a winter warmer. The Barleywine is no exception. What is the difference between the American and English versions?

Over the past few years, Denver's River North Brewery (https://www.rivernorthbrewery.com) has collected accolades from top beer competitions around the world—four GABF medals, four World Beer Cup medals, four European Beer Star medals just to name a few—and beers like Father Time (https://beerandbrewing.com/review/river-north-brewery-father-time-1683141881) and Anniversary 11 (https://beerandbrewing.com/review/river-north-brewery-anniversary-11-stout-1683131307) have earned top scores from our blind panel. They most recently earned midsize brewery of the year honors at the inaugural Colorado Brewers Cup. While they brew a wide range of beers, including frequent medal winner Nightmare Fuel coffee stout, they're probably most well-known for the beers that push into the peaks of the ABV range—stouts, Belgian-style strong ales, and barleywines that regularly hit 15% and higher. In this episode, founder Matt Hess and head brewer Matt Malloy share their techniques for making beers that not only turn heads for the their sky-high numbers, but also remain drinkable and as balanced as such beers could be. From controlling fusel alcohols through careful fermentation management, to building layers of flavors through malt selection, they share insights garnered from ten years of pushing the envelope. In this episode, they touch on: using very high pitch rates and over-oxygenation to maintain healthy yeast employing dehusked malts to soften roast character in big stouts pushing yeast into an additional growth phase to increase cell count keeping osmotic pressure low and feeding fermentations selecting and adding coffee into stout managing the oxidative process in barrel aging And more.

We love the fall. The leaves change colors. The temperature gets colder. Stouts and Barleywines appear on the shelves. Autum brings so many wonderful changes. Evil Twin has brewed over a 1000 beers in their NYC brewery. How do we know? They released a beer called Batch No 1000 Brewed in NYC. This is an old ale made with maple syrup. While it's not a stout or a barleywine, it is a 13% ABV big boy. Danish brewers Bad Seed don't show up on shelves in Sweden very often. It's no surprise that Stefan found this in Copenhagen. Bourbon Barrel Aged Colossus 2023 is a English barleywine aged in Heaven Hill bourbon barrels. It's keeping us warm for sure. #beer #craftbeer #drinks #barleywine #oldale #barrelaged

Each bottle tells a story, whether it's a cherished memory of Caperton or a bold flavor reminiscent of his adventurous palate.

In this episode, Dan and Scott talk about Black Top IPA, New Glarus Barley Wine, and the new brewhouse going in at New Glarus. Cheers!
As a trained food scientist with 20 years of experience in the field, Eric Tennant entered the brewing world with a bit more background than most. And that background has served him well, as he considers both ingredients and processes required to achieve the beer flavors he envisions. Over the past few years, he's focused Benchtop (https://benchtopbrewing.com) around foeder-aged lagers, but the constraints of the small brewery have led to a number of innovative process solutions. The techniques that he applies are making award-winning beer, too—Benchtop just recently took home a silver medal in Zwickelbier or Kellerbier at GABF, and their barrel-aged barleywine, Old Wooden Ship, was one of Craft Beer & Brewing's 20 best beers of 2023. In this episode, Tennant discusses: crafting a hybrid approach to lager that's part Czech, and part German decocting in a brewhouse not designed for it polishing beer through lagering without head pressure in oak foeders increasing IBUs in lager recipes to offset the mellowing effect of foeder aging double batching with different recipes optimized for two different mash processes checking COAs and manipulating mashes to fit the malt protecting foam potential when wood aging brewing barrel-aged English barleywine And more.

Martin went on a little holiday with the partner to Austria. He was able to grab a couple of beers while here was there and bring them back for the show. Stift Engelszell Gregorius 2024 is an annual release. This is a Belgian quadrupel coming in at a big 10.4% ABV. It's an interesting entry into the style but lacks some of the fun of a true Belgian Quad. Hagger Blend 1019 Blue is part of their ongoing Hagger series. All Hagger beers from Brauhaus Bevog are barleywines. Martin and Stefan tried Blend 1019 Pink back in 2020. We quite liked it. It's fun to pick up the second one four years later. It holds up really well and shows no signs of aging. Quite the fun surprise! #beer #craftbeer #drinks #barleywine #belgianquad #austrianbeers
