W<\/span>inter is no time for weak beer. It\u2019s a season for brawny brews that are as warming as a crackling fire, quaffs as strong as they are sustaining. Enter: barley wine. Never mind the name\u2014barley wines contains no actual wine (but they do have a similar ABV, typically topping 10 percent). In fact, the style stems from an old brewing technique called parti-gyle<\/em>. In Britain during the 18th and 19th centuries, brewers produced several beers from a single grain load. The initial running of wort\u2014the sugary broth that becomes beer\u2014was strongest, with successive cycles growing weaker until all sugars were extracted. It\u2019s like re-using a tea bag to steep a second cup. (Modern brewers typically use fresh ingredients for each beer.)<\/p>\n

Initially, the rich beer fermented from first runnings went by various aliases including stock ale, winter warmer, strong ale, and old ale; the 1903 release of Bass No. 1 Barley Wine helped codify the style. In America, the beer first found footing with Anchor Brewing\u2019s 1975 release of Old Foghorn Barleywine Style Ale.<\/h3>\n

\u201cThey directly contrast today\u2019s hop-forward IPAs in that they are almost entirely malt-forward,\u201d says Anchor brewmaster Scott Ungermann of barley wines. \u201cMost of the complex flavors and aromas come from grains and fermentation.\u201d<\/p>\n

John Trogner, co-founder of Pennsylvania\u2019s Tr\u00f6egs Independent Brewing, first sampled barley wine in the early 1990s. \u201cIt was rich and viscous and had this incredible mineral content. It was almost salty,\u201d he recalls. \u201cI was like, One of these days, I\u2019m going to figure out how to do this.\u201d<\/p>\n

That flight of fancy became Flying Mouflan, a brash blend of citrus, pine, vanilla, and caramel. Eventually Tr\u00f6egs began aging Mouflan in bourbon barrels, which helped to smooth its rough edges. \u201cThis is it. The beer has finally found its place,\u201d Trogner recalls thinking, of what is now Bourbon Barrel Aged Flying Mouflan Barleywine Ale. Like Tr\u00f6egs, many brewers see barley wine as a canvas for innovation. For example, Rogue Ales spikes its XS Old Crustacean Barleywine with bitterness worthy of an imperial IPA. Midnight Sun Arctic Devil is matured in casks that previously held port, wine, or whiskey, while Wild Heaven Beer conditions Height of Civilization in tequila barrels.<\/p>\n

One certainty: No matter which barley wine you select, it is sure to be strong.<\/h3>\n

Pairing Notes<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cBarley wines are so huge they tend to destroy everything they meet,\u201d Trogner cautions. Some cheeses, however, meet the strapping brews head on\u2014seek a robust partner such as extra-aged gouda (the butterscotch sweetness of Uniekass<\/a> Vintage 5 Year aligns with barley wine\u2019s candy-shop flavor) or a bold blue such as Bay Blue from Point Reyes<\/a> Farmstead Cheese.

Five To Try<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Anchor Brewing Old Foghorn Barley wine <\/strong>Style Ale<\/strong><\/p>\n

This English-inspired barley wine features a hefty charge of floral Cascade hops; fine carbonation knifes through malt richness.<\/p>\n

Bell\u2019s Brewery Third Coast Old Ale<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dried cherries dominate this Michigan brewery\u2019s barley wine. Boasting assertive bitterness, the quaff should prove plenty appealing to IPA fans.<\/p>\n

Firestone Walker Brewing Company Helldorado Blonde Barley Wine<\/strong><\/p>\n

English and American pale malts lend Helldorado a honeyed hue and flavor, while a stint in oak barrels contributes complementary vanilla and coconut notes.<\/p>\n

Midnight Sun Brewing Co. Arctic Devil Barley Wine Ale<\/strong><\/p>\n

Frigid Alaskan winters are no match for the Anchorage brewery\u2019s annual Arctic Devil, a careful mix of barley wine aged in wine, port, and whiskey barrels.<\/p>\n

JW Lees Harvest Ale <\/strong><\/p>\n

The British brewery\u2019s yearly barley wine is made with native malts and hops plucked from the first harvest\u2014its flavor calls to mind maple syrup and brown sugar.<\/p>\n
