A big English style barleywine that ages well. One of the original Weyerbacher big beers.

Where to get it

Sold in PA.

  • At the taproom
  • Cans to go
  • Bars and restaurants
  • Bottle shops
  • Beer distributors

The big Belgian-style beers are poured at the Easton and Allentown taprooms and sold through wholesalers, with Pennsylvania as the home market. Before its 2019 bankruptcy and 2022 sale the brewery reached about two dozen states, but the current website publishes no footprint or finder, so check with a local beer distributor or bottle shop.
