Yards' 10 Days of Barleywine
 |
Yards Brewing is commemorating their 15 years in the beer biz (the first beers hit the market in January of 1995) with Olde Bartholomew, the first barleywine they ever attempted some ten years ago. Yards operations manager and general good-time guy Steve Mashington describes the 10.3 percent ABV heavy as such: "It's a real English barleywine --� a great malt backbone, with a good amount of hops in the nose. Hops are present, but not overpowering, with a cool little hop finish. It's dangerously drinkable. The first time I had this, I thought, trouble."
The draft-only brew will be generally released by Yards distributor Muller Beverage early in 2010, but before that comes the Ten Days of Barleywine. Beginning New Year's Eve at the Dawson Street Pub in Manayunk and winding up at the P.O.P.E. on Sat., Jan. 9, Yards will tap a firkin or pin of Olde Bart every day at a different tavern.� Check out the schedule of trouble, after the jump.

Its about time one of our Philly breweries put out a barleywine! English style too, I'm excited!
Yay I love Yards! Thanks for the info, Felicia!
Is there a difference between the taste of a firkin on a handpump and a firkin sitting on the bar?
[...] past Wednesday, Yards dropped by Hulmeville Inn with some Old Bartholomew as part of the brewery’s 10 Days of Barleywine tour. (It wraps up tonight and tomorrow; details/locations in What’s Cooking.) Anyways, Yards [...]
