207980 Wed Feb 25 15:35:48 -0800 2004 8 18 Manhattan 0 1107923 I note on the BT website that they have BOTH Victory Old Horizontal and 3 Floyds Behemoth barleywines ON TAP right now! One of the great benefits of winter. For anyone interested in a transcendental beer drinking experience, these are two of the very greatest barleywines and to have them on tap for side-by-side comparison at the same time is a "brief opportunity in time". Wed Feb 25 15:35:48 -0800 2004 0 Chicago Mike 1 1107926 I also noticed that d.b.a has Anchor Old Foghorn on tap, which generally does not last there for too long. I will have to check it out ASAP. -PDS Wed Feb 25 15:53:33 -0800 2004 1107923 0 PuertaDelSol 2 1107933 Puerta said: I also noticed that d.b.a has Anchor Old Foghorn on tap, which generally does not last there for too long.

It'll put hair on your chest... Wed Feb 25 16:31:59 -0800 2004 1107933 0 Foghorn 2 1107948 You might want to call them before you make the trek. I just called about New Glarus Belgian Red, which I was orgasmic to discover on their website, but they said they don't have it at the moment, so their website obviously isn't as up-to-date as it could be. Wed Feb 25 16:51:27 -0800 2004 1107926 0 Boots 1 1107928 Can't wait for the Dogfishhead night next week. . and the Barleywine fest at BT a few weeks ago was "Epic", to say the least. If you missed it, tough break. Not sure when you'll stumble across a 10 year old keg of Old Crustation again! Wed Feb 25 15:59:02 -0800 2004 1107923 0 M 2 1107972 At ten years Old Crustacean is just getting to the drinkable point. The overwhelming hops are finally starting to be tamed by age and mellowed into the whole. I have had several old bottles of the stuff and it is interesting how aging completely changes the character. That must have been great at BT, I wish I had been able to make it. I have been a barley wine lover ever since I helped make a batch while working at a brew pub during grad school. We made the brew in early summer and served it starting Thanksgiving. It's still one of the best I have ever tasted and just last year I finished off the last of a case I had been working slowly through for almost ten years. When dba first opened they had Foghorn on tap all the time and I would be good for quite a few pints every friday night... just can't handle that much anymore but I think I will have to give it a try this week for old times sake. Wed Feb 25 18:55:27 -0800 2004 1107928 0 The Rogue 3 1108030 like someone else mentioned, it's almost always available at Gingerman... and they serve it in true pints, which i actually find to be a bit overwhelming. Have rolled in there with enthusiastic but unexperienced drinkers who got blindsided by it, in fact. A couple friends of mine with cellar space have some nice BW collections going, most from the past 5 years. Really nice to visit and discuss whether we should start with a 99 or a 2000 Bigfoot :) Note: Whole Food has Old Rasputin and a North Coast ale on sale right now.
