    Hey Everyone, 3 BA members (including myself) are trying to get a Barleywine tasting together somewhere in NYC probably in the next month or 2. No set date yet, whatever works best for all those that would be interested in attending. Below are some of the beers the 3 of us have available for the tasting. We might have to eliminate some due to sheer quantity.

    Goose Island: King Henry
    Hill Farmstead: Aaron
    Alpine: Great ('09 and '13)
    Midnight Sun: Arctic Devil (2012)
    Almanac: Heirloom Pumpkin Barleywine (2013)
    Three Floyds: Behemoth (2011 and 2012)
    Alaskan: Barleywine
    Firestone Walker: Sucaba
    Dry Dock: Bligh's Barleywine
    J.W. Lee's Vintage Harvest Ale (Calvados I think)
    GI: BCBW (2013 and 2014)
    Multiple Gratitude vintages
    The Perfect Storm '09
    Mother of All Storms

    Since we only have 3 people so far we are looking to add a number of other people interested in consuming great beer.

    Some of the beers we are looking for someone to bring:

    Voodoo: K13 (Top Wants)
    Anchorage: A Deal with the Devil (Top Wants)
    Kuhnhenn: BBW (Top Wants)
    Cigar City: Leon
    Steel Toe: Before the Dawn
    Voodoo: Caution! Contains Pumpkins
    Firestone Walker: Maltose Falcons Brownywine
    Minneapolis Town Hall: Twisted Trade

    Non-Barleywines interested in trying
    Drie Fonteinen Schaarbeekse Kriek
    Upland: Sour Reserve
    Tired Hands: Parageusia1
    deGarde: Apricot Bu
    Logsdon: Peche n' Brett

    If you are interested, please message me and we can start discussing possible dates and beer.

    Cheers to all

    Good thing you mention "lawyer" in your handle, since that much BW in one sitting will probably kill a third of the livers present.

    Yeah, you are definitely going to have to cut that list down quite a bit! Barley wines years ago were my style of choice so I socked a lot of rare ones away in the cellar. For a seat at the tasting I could bring any one of these:

    General Lafayette 275th Anniversary Ale (22oz. Original bomber)
    1989 JW Lee's Vintage Harvest Ale
    2005 Heavyweight BA Old Salty
    2007 Pelican Stormwatchers Winterfest
    Dieu Du Ciel BA Solstice D'hiver
    Peabody's Blendiculous Blend 1
    2012 BA Behemoth

    Let me know if you would be interested in me bring any one of these bottles, maybe even two. Also, when the projected date and location in NYC is.
