End of election barleywine celebration

Who is up for a barleywine celebration tomorrow - Friday 11-7-2208?

In celebration of the end of the election, no matter how you feel about the results, and as an act of solidarity as a band of brewers, I suggest we go out and get a bottle, or more if you wish, of our favorite Barleywine and toast all things barley! Invite a friend or drink alone in the dark, but lets put all this behind us and get back to the important things in life.

Who is in on this?

Excellent idea! I will start with a sample of your so-far excellent 09-09-09 recipe (just checking SG, I swear!). I'm going to need to make a stop at the good beer store tonight, all I've got is Heavy Seas Below Decks.

I'm so down for that, although I've never bought a commercial barley wine. Any suggestions I live in SoCal (if that helps)

I am going to have to see what is available as well.

A salute to no more crappy political ads on TV? Sounds good to me!

I would but an Old Foghorn (Anchor) if I could get it here. But Southern California must have a bunch of options.

Not sure I'll be around in 2208, but I'll put it on the calendar

Barleywine should be given time to age!

200 years might be pushing it however!

for me ->

That Gnarly Wine looks interesting. Had the Stone.

The best part of the Gnarly Wine is the price tag like $6 here in Chicago.

I like some of the other Lagunitas but I haven't had this one yet.

Here is a good local BW:

I'm in. Oaked Barleywine from Central Waters for me. Micro from Wisconsin, very small distribution sorry...

This sounds like a good idea. I'll give it a go.
Got some homebrewed BW, as well as some double bastrd, ol foghorn, a '97 Knucklehead (bridgeport), HOTD, and a few others, not sure I'll need all those, but....
Is there a proposed time? In the chat room?

I'd love to join, But most likely won't be able to find one locally.

chat sounds fine, someone name a time.

I'm PST, so I'd be one of the early crowd. Anytime is fine by me. Other times I done this online beer tasting sort of thing, we would start about 17:00PST, which would make it around 20:00EST so as to not make it too late of a night for the East'r crowd.
Those were on school nights, so we could push it back a bit if needed.
