It's that time of the month again (the first) when we release another of our barrel-aged beers.
This month we've selected a blend of two versions of our Pro-Am Barley Wine. Originally brewed back in September of 2008, we aged some of the batch in a Syrah barrel from DeLille Cellars in Woodinville and some in a Bourbon barrel from Heaven Hill Distillery in Bardstown, Kentucky.
The Syrah version has taken on a bit of cherry tartness while the Bourbon version has maintained all the char and vanilla it had when we first tapped it in late 2009. Together they are divine! Enjoy.
One small keg will be tapped at each of our pubs TODAY, so hurry in for your taste of this unique concoction.
On the first of each month we release a keg of our barrel-aged beer. Each pub has a different variety, giving barrel beer fans an opportunity to try both!
This month's barrel-aged beer selections are:
Burien: Bourbon Pro-Am Barleywine from a Heaven Hill barrel
W. Seattle: Syrah Baltic Porter from a DeLille Cellars barrel
Drop by Elysian Brewing on Capitol Hill this Saturday, September 12 between 3-7:00 PM for tastes of 16 Pro-Am beers brewed by Washington brewers for the 2009 Great American Beer Festival. Elliott Bay will be pouring a Barleywine-style ale aged in a bourbon barrel.
This event is free to current American Homebrew Assoc. Non-members can Join Now, or sign up at a discounted rate at the door.
Swing by Beveridge Place Pub between Friday 2.27 and Sat. 3.7 for a taste of our Portside Barley Wine. It will be on tap alongside a host of other mighty strong ale offerings.
This year's recipe was one we brewed as part of the Pro-Am project, where professional brewers produce beers based on award-winning homebrew recipes and enter them in competition at the 2009 Great American Beer Festival in Denver, CO. Our beer was based on a recipe brewed by James Golovich.
