Sierra Nevada Brewing ‘Dry-Hopped Barleywine-Style Ale’
Brewed by: Sierra Nevada Brewing
Style: American Barleywine
Alcohol by volume (ABV): 9.40%
Notes / Commercial Description:
Colorado’s Avery Brewing Co. and Sierra Nevada both make American-style barleywine ales verging on the hop extreme. For this collaboration-dubbed “Big Hog” as an homage to the two beers that inspired it-we recreated both barleywine recipes and then blended the beers into a new hop-heavy creation. It features rich, bittersweet malt character with notes of caramel and toffee balanced against a massive wall of hop flavor and is bottle conditioned for longevity.
