About Old Bawdy Barleywine
When Pliny the Elder, the famous Roman doctor, bon vivant and writer, visited what is now Germany 2000 years ago, he observed that people made “barley wine.” High gravity, high alcohol barley wines became popular as a substitute for whiskey in Victorian England. They had almost disappeared by the time that Pike and other craft breweries re-introduced the style. Poetry in a glass; barley wine is the finest product of the brewer’s art.
