Hurt yourself so good at Split Thy Skull this Saturday, April 11. From 1-5 p.m., Sugar Mom's basement will become a bone-littered Golgotha as serious drinkers try to triumph over the burliest beer of them all, barleywine. This high-alcohol, high-gravity, often murky brew is championed by local and distant U.S. breweries, who give fair warning to drinkers right in the titles of their potions. Check out the array:
- Victory Old Horizontal
- Stone Russian Imperial Stout
- Philadelphia Brewing Company Philabuster Wheatwine
- Sly Fox Panacea
- Founders Backwoods Bastard
- Rock Art Vermonster
- Kulmbacher Eisbock
- Flying Fish Hoppy 3x
- Iron Hill Gold Barleywine
- Porterhouse Aged Old Ale
- Voodoo Love Child
- (maybe) Aged Brooklyn Monster
A few of the brews are not technically "barleywines," which is a pretty loosely defined term, anyway. It's more of a big beer fest � Stone's offering is a Russian imperial stout; the Voodoo Love Child is a strong Belgian-style triple.
We're wavin' goodbye to crochety Old Man Winter, but we can steal his beer for one last fling before it's all sweat and hefeweizens, all the time.
