Barrel-Aged Xyauyu

All of these beers are fantastic, I would love to get at least one bottle of this once it's released in the US.

 

Tender will enjoy this greatly

 

Wait, this is actually on shelves?

Anybody want to go $4$ with locals on a bottle for me?

 

I'm taking a trading break throughout the winter, but if you can wait I'll be able to help. They usually run $43.99 at the Binny's around here (if they have them).

 

Wow! Now the only issue we might have is who in your area is going to bring it in to your local bottle shop. I would LOVE to have this!

Shhh but I do have Matthias phone number so maybe I could ask him!

 

I will send you no less than $50 worth in delicious locals. Or we can work something else out.

And yes, that timeframe works for me. Thanks!

 

Only place I could get this would be Wine Works...speriamo!

 

Time to get on my local beer buyer to put in an order for this! The copper and silver are two of my all time favorites.

All right, I'll be the one to ask it: how the hell do you pronounce this beer's name...?

 

It is unpronounceable. It is the name of his daughter's imaginary friend.

 

Hmm...as much as I appreciate the whimsy, how would I order it at the bar without pointing to it (or theoretically butchering it phonetically)? "You know, that crazy expensive Italian barleywine, man!"

 

Dammit, it's working: I recently bought a bottle of the Copper (and it was the lone survivor of a bad bag drop (RIP 3F goodness...)) and can't wait to try this stuff. And then on to the Silver and Gold, if I can ever find them...

 

At 2:28 is the pronouncation of Xyauyù

 

Ah, so it's "sh-yow-yoo"...right on...dankeschoen, mein Herr!
