We teamed up with our homies at Dancing Gnome to bring you a taste of that good life with “Is It Local?,” a riffed-out Barleywine with a 50/50 grist of Crisp Marris Otter and Thomas Fawcett Maris Otter. We took that old-school, bready British base and drove it straight on down to flavor town after its four-hour boil with cookie bits from The Rhu, a blend of Cacao Nibs and Husks from French Broad Chocolates, and some pure vanillin. In order to really make it pop, we slammed even more cookie-ness into it by aging it on roasted pecans, flaked coconut, and vanilla beans.
