Brandy Barrel Barley Wine is a limited barrel-aged beer that blurs the lines between grape and grain. The idea behind this beer was ignited when we procured brandy barrels from a premium California distiller, all wet with grape brandy goodness. Inspired by this windfall, we brewed a special barley wine and co-fermented it with Paso Robles-grown white wine grapes, accounting for 48 percent of the total liquid. Finally, we aged it for a year in the fresh brandy barrels. The result is a beer-wine hybrid like no other, showing vibrant fruit flavors that marry perfectly with classic brandy notes and boozy barrel character. This beer was produced exclusively for the blending of our 2021 Anniversary Ale, marking the 25th anniversary of Firestone Walker.
