Fremont Brewing began as a dream in 2008. Years later, our dream has come true in each and every one of you, our craft beer family. And like every family, we have had our ups and our downs, but we keep coming back together knowing we are stronger together. In your hands is a special nod to you, a gift for now that will continue to give many years from now should you have the patience to wait…Brew 5000. This English-style barleywine ale uses floor-malted English barley, Noble hops, and is aged in 10-15 year-old, single use bourbon barrels for 16 months to bring you a complex and subtle craft beer flavor experience. We brewed this to celebrate brewing our 5000th brew, and we look forward to sharing it with you, our craft beer family. “Barleywine Is Life." – You

Light brown colour. No head. This has a rich bourbony syrup aroma, with a decent bit of fruity depth. On the palate, lots of fruit, and it picks up a burnt fruit note a bit in there. The bourbon helps to round out the richness, and then it's got a toasted character. Good complexity, big body, nice character, even if it gets a bit sweet after a while.

Bottle @ 40th Birthday Bash / 20K Event. Thanks to MrOrla. Pours black with a small creamy head. Maple, vanilla, coffee roast. Super slick, smooth and well rounded. Awesome.

On tap at Fremont, pours a deep dark mahogany with a small beige head. Aroma is complex, with lots of bourbon barrel depth, vanilla, molasses and dark dried fruits. Flavour is a little sweeter than 4000, with lots of bourbon barrel presence upfront, followed by vanilla, brown sugar and dark dried fruits. Complex, balanced and deep. Wonderful.

650ml bottle. Sweetish, malty and caramely with some syrup, oak, bourbon, toffee and hints of hoppiness. Pretty balanced.
