English-Style Barleywine Ale Aged in Bourbon Barrels

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 6000. 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.

Surprise beer, woo, been wanting to try one of these. Big, heavy and strong, but remarkebly smooth. Rich and decadent barleywine, oldschool, lots of raisins and dried fruit, meets great bourbom barrels. Sweet, soft, touch tobacco, smooth.
