Sierra Nevada 30th Barleywine

[mccann51]

Not sure if this is the appropriate place for this, perhaps somebody could guide me to a better place if it's not.

I had Sierra Nevada's 30th Anniversary Barleywine last night and damn was it good; probably gonna have to pick up another (or two). I was wondering if anybody had a recipe or notion of a recipe for this beer. Thanks!

Is this the Black Barleywine from last year?

The Black Barleywine is so delicious. So is the Ovila Quad, which will be a yearly seasonal from what I hear.

Guys sorry to be the barier of bad news. Bigfoot is released every Jan-Feb the 30th Anniv. Was a one time thing almost 2 years ago. You can still find bottles floating around. I have a few myself but they are not producing it anymore.

I came out as part of a 4 beer series in 2010. They released one evey couple of months started with a Stout then a Bock then came the Black Barleywine and finished with the Grand Cru which is a blend. Last year they started with the partnership and released the Belgiums which are going to be produced more than once. If you find bottles of the 30th beer grab them. They all age well (except for the bock) The stout is starting to fall but the black bw and grand cru are awesome.

Cheers
