Back Burner (2016-)
(Batch of Back Burner)

Long ago, British farmhouse brewers made special ales using the first runnings of the mash. These beers, now called barley wine, are brewed in the tradition of days past. Our first brew of the year, this ale is conceived in three small batches with voluminous amounts of barley and hops. We brewed this lightly sweet and warming ale with blackstrap molasses & maple syrup, which give it notes of dried fruit and rich grains. Our barley wine style ale is a tribute to days remembered and a celebration of things to come. We hope that sipping this rare brew leaves you feeling gracious for another trip around the sun.

When we last made this brew in 2012, nearly 1000 RateBeer users rated Back Burner with an overall score of 98. The numbers speak for themselves. This resurrected brew is proof that big things come in small packages.
