Here's to Beer! Sierra Nevada Bigfoot: A Mini Vertical Tasting
I wanted to taste this year’s Bigfoot against a few from years past that I had aging in my cellar. Barley wine is one of the few types of beer that respond positively to aging, given the proper conditions. High alcohol content, yeast in the bottle, and ample residual sugars are all qualities in beer that may mark them as good candidates for aging. A “vintage” date on the bottle is also an indicator that the beer is meant to be aged. Let’s examine some aged beers to find out why this is a good thing.
Working for the Weekend Beer
It's all of nearly two as we write this, and we could already use a tall cold one. In anticipation of the end of the workweek, we checked out Seattle Beer News, and sure enough, God bless 'em, there's at least three decent beer events this weekend. Tonight Water 1st, an organization dedicated to bringing water, sanitation, and public health to the poorest communities around the world, is hosting their Water 1st, Beer 2nd fun(d)raiser in South Lake Union tonight at 7 p.m. Tickets are $30 and you can enter a raffle for a Hawaiian vacation. But if you're less social justice-minded (or just cheap), you can head to either the Elysian for their winter brewfest Saturday, or out to West Seattle's Beveridge Place Pub for their week-long barleywine festival, where you can drink yourself under the table without all the fuss, like a normal person.
