Today is the magic day. Rohrbach is now serving 15th Aniversary Barley Wine, a Bruce Lish brew, out at the Ogden, NY brewpub. The beer tops out at 11%, and, judging from my advance tastings before it had time to mellow, will quickly become a favorite among admirers of the style.

Bruce has had a great deal of success with barley wine in the past, even winning a bronze medal in the category at the Great American Beer Festival. Get the 15th Anniversary stuff while it lasts.
