    Understanding that barely wines are cool to make and are exceptional, are they actually worth making? fisncialy?

    At what point in the brewing process is the puréed pineapple added in?

    Liquid fruit cake? Liquid fruit cake. This is not a complaint.

    Do you prefer American or English Barleywines?

    My buddy who is tasting with me still has a poker chip token for a tasting from your brewery from 2015- is it still good?

    Holy rip, this is delicious! Polynesian-tastic! I'm glad it's such a different direction for the esterous character of barleywine. Man, this is great.

    With crazy ideas like this... how many misses do you have for every hit? Does it usually turn out how you imagine it or is there a massive trial and error process?

    Really enjoying this, but it is very hot. I'd love to have it in a couple of years. Hopefully, you saved some of it so we can have it then. Thanks Augie! Cheers! :beers: #Abomination

    I had the same problem. Found out it ONLY WORKS for the “Purchased Location” aka the one at the very bottom - NOT the regular location. Search “BeerAdvocate's Extreme Beer Fest in Cyberspace” in Wilmington, NC

    How naive you are, poor child. I used to believe North Jersey was north of the Driscoll, South Jersey was below 195, and Central Jersey was that perfect slice of perfection in between. Through conversations with @augiecarton, I've learned its more specific than that.

    If you get NY Broadcast TV stations, you live in North Jersey. If you get Philly Broadcast TV stations, you live in South Jersey. Get both? You are one of the few golden children in this world!

    I love the booziness but the layers of flavor added by the fruit and barrel are blowing my mind. Well done!

    I'm still confused, so what were the barrels used for this? Peach schnapps?

    Wow it only gets worse the more it warms up. This could be the worst beer I’ve had in the past few years. This was a huge miss

    Pretty sure this is inspired by upside down cake which is a cake usually with pineapples and cherries.

    Do you do a lot of trial and error testing when making this style? Also abv?

    This is an amazing complement to the Tikka Masala I'm enjoying for dinner! Try it with rich, fruity Indian food.

    When you're working with a barrel-aged beer, how much volatility is there with flavor? Do you ever end up with entire barrels of beer that are unusable?

    Getting a grape pomace aroma that I love, fading into cherries and pineapples with a Barleywine backbone. Not cloying at all.

    If you used maraschino cherries, how'd you get the flavor without the sugars fermenting/making it more dry?

    I just wanna say I love people not making a big deal about kids bombing meetings. Makes me happy that we normalize that stuff in the pandemic.

    This beer is outstanding! I make a grilled pineapple upside down cake in the summer and I'm upset I won't have any of this beer to drink with it.
