    I just found out from a friend that this was released today. I don't know a whole lot, but it's an American Barleywine at 11%. I believe it was made for a homebrew competition last year. I think it is only available at the brewery, but I could be wrong.

    Anyways, sorry for no pictures and little information. Just passing what I know along.

    *EDIT* It will be available at West Point Market in Akron, OH too. They were the ones that held the homebrew competition.

    I had some at thirsty dog today. I can verify that it was there and had it, and it was solid. No bottles from what I could see, also there were a few other things that they released this week which were tasty -cant remember everything. BA wulver is their best beer IMO. They also had another BA beer like wulver but it was unfiltered. They have dog bone shaped tap handles which are cool too. And the old leghumper pint glass was a must buy lol. The owner of this place was a really great guy, he opened up a few bottles and shared them with a few customers who came in to buy stuff and sit at their brew pub. The staff friendliness at this place was first rate and I will def go back if I am in the area again. They look poised to do go things.

    Is it going to distro? I'm excited about whatever they're going to do now after drinking a Wulver last night. That and BA SN are AMAZING brews.

    First review on BeerAdvocate is up for Bernese.

    Bernese is available in 4 packs.

    It will not be getting any normal distribution. It was originally made from a homebrewing competition last year at West Point Market called Bottle My Brew Ohio - Homebrew Challenge. Winners receive money, other prizes, and their beer is brewed and bottled commercially by Thirsty Dog and sold exclusively at West Point Market, Winking Lizard Taverns throughout Northeast Ohio, and the Thirsty Dog Brewery.

    I hope this post clears everything up. Thanks for the 2 responses so far. Personally, I'll be heading to Thirsty Dog on Wednesday. Continue reading for more details about the Homebrew Challenge.

    2012 Homebrew Challenge - Final Standings
    1. Nick Herstich, Justin Herstich for "Pooch Hooch" - American Barleywine
    2. Greg Irvine for "Summertime #2" - IPA
    3. Michael Crea for "Citra's Last Stand" - IPA
    I wonder if Nick or Justin have BeerAdvocate accounts. This competition is new to me, but it sounds awesome! This just furthers my love for Thirsty Dog and West Point Market.

    $13.99/4 pack at West Point, if I remember correctly.

    Picked up a bottle there last night and really enjoyed it. Will probably go back for a 4 pack.
