Barleywine – Other | 13.1% ABV
Commercial Description:
Since the beginning of time, people have slightly misinterpreted and reinterpreted each others words… and beers. The study of words original intentions has always been a thing – see Yaska, Sanskrit Grammarian circa 7th Century BCE. Same with beer. Which leads us to the question: what exactly is a barleywine?
Etymology is a blend of two very different but equally delicious variations of barleywine. One a rich, toasty, English barleywine (Etym) and the other a classic, 12 month barrel aged American style (Ology). After months of study and reflection, we blended the two to create this bold and balanced beer. A smooth, rich blend of barrel-aged barleywines for the curious beer enthusiast.
Etymology 2023 is a blend of two classic styles: Etym (23) and Ology (23)
Etym: English Barleywine aged in Westward Whiskey Barrels for 8 Months
Ology: American Barleywine aged in Bookers Bourbon Barrels for 12 months.
