Description
Brew Age is a young and innovative company taking old brewing traditions and developing them further. The newly created beers and beer styles are then to offer new impressions and flavours to the beer expert and the beer newbie alike.

We went through various scenarios in our heads: our own brewery vs. gypsy brewing, establishing a brand and, most importantly, developing recipes. Finally we settled on the concept of gypsy brewing. Following an intense search for a partner brewery, we finally managed to start our cooperation with Reinhold Barta at Brauhaus Gusswerk. Today, we still brew our beers at Gusswerk, and in a way you can call us sedentary gypsy brewers: in contrast to classic gypsy brewers, who produce their beer (or have it produced) at various breweries, we brew our beers almost exclusively at Gusswerk, strictly according to our own specifications. For the near future, we are planning to build our own brewery in Vienna.

Bottle courtesy of Jonas, cheers Jonas! Had this Saturday 14th February at the Manglham 2nd Winter Tasting listening to Barnes Courtenay. Pours dirty brown with no head, still with a big boozy kick. It's fine but preferred the previous one from Tölzer, apologies it's a very lazy review Score 6.4

Bottle, batch 01/2021, BB 31.12.2025. Cloudy brown, offwhite head. Soapy aroma, oxidation, old wood, nutty, mellow flattened grain finish. Definitely did not keep up - we had ikder things at the tasting which tasted fresher.

0.33l bottle, huge thanks Jonas for sharing at Mangled Ham 2026 with us! Murky pale brown body, traces of an off-white head. Heavily oxidized aroma, Vegemite. Lean, dry taste, some vanilla, citrus fruit, low wood, bitterness, dried fruit, heavily minerally, the oxidation not as rough in the aroma, but still there. Funnily enough, this is a month and a half past its BB date, and the beer from 2016 we had just before it was way less oxidized, kept in the same conditions. Oh well.

My first barley wine and I'd say it's a fairly good one.
