See more Barley Wine

First brewed in 1975, Old Foghorn Ale is an after dinner sipping ale in the style of traditional English barley wine. A blend of 2 Row and Caramel malts, only Cascade hops are used with more Cascade added during the 6 month cellar ageing process.

Fermented with a top-fermenting yeast the ale is carbonated by a process known as 'bunging'. High in alcohol and slightly sweet, due to residual sugars, the result of using only the first running of the mash.
