The Three Tuns Tavern opened for business in 1732. Since then it has grown and changed with the times. Over the years it has been called the Barren Hill Hotel and the Lafayette Hotel. At the General Lafayette Inn as it is known today, we strive to produce innovative, world class beers that reflect the American Colonial spirit with a bit of French flair.
To commemorate the 275th anniversary of our building we offer this hand-bottled, Barleywine-style ale brewed with imported English ingredients.
With time this beer should gain considerable depth and complexity. Savor it.
Brewed from malted barley, hops, water and three strains of yeast. Aged in Oak Barrels.

Had the pleasure of sampling this at the 1/27/2008 Pittsburgh ratebeer.com gathering upstairs, Sharp Edge Creekhouse. It will be a long time, if ever, I see a spread of bottles like I did there - ever again. I am not good enough for the beers that were that we sampled! For example, how about this beer; the ol’ general! Strongish overly sweet aroma that sets off an alky alarm in my head.! Clear orangish brown, but mostly brown. No detectable aroma, just clean and crisp. Wow, sweet and exceedingly strong but not in an alky way! mouth coating palate. Medicinal at times. Barley wine at it’s finist. Not as enjoyable as Marzoni’s wheat wine but certainly way above Brown sugah or Bell’s Wheat love in enjoyablility.
