Imperial Blonde sounds like an odd concept to me. Could be good, but with the light malts and the light hops of a blonde it's gonna taste awfully alcoholic. I think I'd also call it a barleywine, but I may be mistaken there.

It will be a tough beer to balance, it will take a little more hops to balance the added malt sweetness. I am thinking about a "Dirty Blond" that is the way I like 'um

 

[johnnymax]

wow, didn't think I'd ever see you on here johnny max. I listen to the podcast and would be down to try out some of your beer, give you a west coast perspective. just added your page on facebook(sean thomte) and hopefully I get selected

One reason I love the sam adams imperial white is that it is 10.3% alcohol but you definitely can't tell. Blondes definitely go well with citrus zest and corriander so a good balance of those will leave you with an awesome beer that shouldn't taste alcoholic. A good brewer (not myself) should be able to pull it off.

Johnnymax.........I didn't put 2 and 2 together either. I loved your 21% all grain monster article. I'll take a sample or two off of your hands if you'd like.

Congrats on going big

id be glad to help as well

Well, as soon as I found I could own a meadery and a brewery at the same time I was so happy, then when I found I could self-distribute if I brew under 75,000 barrels a year I went off the chart crazy excited, I am driving the Queen nuts and I can't sleep at night! She said she was hoping I could not start a brewery, because all I talk about is beer and brewing already, now it will be worse
IT IS WORSE!
The plan it to brew small and distribute to as many big Texas cities as I can. The supply will be so small it will be VERY HARD TO GET, once I build a name and people fight to get it, then crank up production with help from fellow craft breweres in Texas with excess brewing capacity. Just gotta stay a Debt-Free Brewery. I don't want to stress the Queen

yes please!

 

[JJL]

I'll give my $0.02. I enjoy trying new stuff.
I've never brewed a Blonde at 10%, but I have done a Tripel that was about that big. My guess is though that my Tripel was a little heavier than your blonde will be.

Psh, John Hancock. It's HERBIE Hancock!

Anyway, OP I see your location says SE Texas. Whereabouts? I'm in Houston and would love to do my best to give you feedback as far as an average Joe drinker goes. I won't be able to give you BJCP type feedback, but a simple "Yeah this is good, and I think my BMC buddies would enjoy it too" kind of stuff I can do. Or not. Ball is in your court!

 

[Sedge]

I will happily give you detailed feedback.

[JediJoel]

Live the dream for all of us. And post updates so we can celebrate with you!

 

[skyzo]

I'd gladly pay shipping to help you out and sample your beer!

 

[johnnymax]

Brewed the first test batch. I was hoping for a higher OG, but 1.066 is big enough to be out of style for a Blond.

 

[BeerNoob]

I wish i could participate but unfortunately I don't think you can ship beer privately to Canada

Good luck with your brewery though! If there's a way to ship it here I'd gladly pay the shipping

 

[Retarded_Penguin_Brewing]

woohoo, first test batch done!

All the good names for a Big Blonde Ale are taken
Bombshell Blonde
Bodacious Blond
and my choice Dizzy Blonde


Any cool suggestions for a High Alcohol Blonde Ale?

Knockout Blonde?
Brassy Blonde?

All I can think of at the moment. Personally, I think Knockout works on both levels

 

[RchanceN]

Busted Blonde?
Bombed Blonde?
Biffed It Blonde?

 

[johnnymax]

How about
"Ditzy Dizzy Blonde":rockin:
