Episode 71 - Bigfoot, Barleywine and Brewing Process

Episode 71 is a content packed show with a breakdown of the American Barleywine style based on the BJCP style guidelines as well as a tasting notes segment with the 2017 Sierra Nevada Bigfoot Barleywine. We dive into the brewing process to discuss the components required in a brewery before we learn about the brewing system John is installing at Trek Brewing. We encourage you to prepare for our listener tasting notes segment in this episode by picking up a bottle of the Sierra Nevada Bigfoot Barleywine and tasting along with us.
