Just When You Planned To Stay Far Away From Boulevard Saturday, Hardywood Says Two Words: Bourbon Barleywine

Yes, that’s right. Hardywood will release the latest addition to their Barrel Series, Bourbon Barleywine, tomorrow Saturday March 15th at 2pm:

A sipping beer to the core, Barleywine by itself is a traditional British digestif. After months of maturation in Bourbon barrels, our barleywine mellows thoroughly, with a luxuriously rich mouthfeel and a soft, rounded finish. Caramel malts shine through on this copper hued ale with hints of vanillin imparted by the toasted oak barrels, making Bourbon Barleywine a decadent accompaniment to sweets, or a dessert all by itself.

Enjoy Hardywood Bourbon Barleywine on draft with food from Boka Tako Truck, Goatocado, Monique’s Crepes, and Super Fresh Carts plus gourmet coffee from Alchemy Coffee.  750mL bottles and 4 packs will be available to take home. Music will be provided by Even Better Than The Real Thing and members of Exebelle & The Rusted Cavalcade at 2 and 6pm, respectively.  

Head over to the Facebook event for more information and updates.

Beware the Ides of March, indeed!
