Barleywine!
This last Valentine’s Day kicked off the 2009 Barleywine Festival at the Toronado. Great times, especially when my wife tells me it’s what she wants to do for Valentine’s day
Here’s a list of what we sampled:
| Brewery | Beer Name | Origin | ABV | IBU | Note |
| Sierra Nevada | Bigfoot | Chico, CA | 9.6% | 90 | |
| Bear Republic | Old Scoutters 2008 | Healdsburg, CA | 11.0% | ||
| Big Sky | Old Bluehair | Missoula, MT | 8.8% | 75 | |
| Seabright | Old Homicide | Santa Cruz, CA | ? | ||
| Magnolia | Old Thunderpussy 2009 | San Francisco, CA | ? | ||
| Marin | Old Dipsea 2009 | Larkspur, CA | ? | ||
| Midnight Sun | Arctic Devil | Anchorage, AK | ? |
I know there was more we tasted, I just can’t remember. Oh, and a couple of iPhone photos:
