Our crew went on a bender, and the Animal found himself sleeping on a bag of concrete at 9 AM in the stairwell of a shady AC hotel…so the story goes. Concrete Pillow, our first Anniversary Barleywine, was born out of the spirit and ethos of this brewery; no boundaries, no limits, punk as fuck. At 10.8% going into the barrels, Concrete Pillow isn’t a day drinking beer to begin with. Aged for a year in bourbon barrels, it’s hardly something to take lightly as well. Concrete is a good foundation for just about anything, right?

An outstanding Barleywine! I couldn't ask for anything more and this is easily up there with my favorites.
