Barleywine Festival – Thursday, January 29th

Cambridge Brewing Company is pleased to announce our 5th annual Barleywine Festival.
Please join us on Thursday, January 29th starting at 5pm as we showcase multiple expressions of our award winning Barleywines.

Chef David Drew and Brewmaster Will Meyers have teamed up to create a small plate “tapas” menu for you to enjoy alongside Barleywines such as our Great American Beer Festival Gold Medal winning “Arquebus” 2008.

In addition to the exceptional array of tapas and Barleywine, our entire regular dinner menu as well as our house and seasonal ales will be available.

We look forward to seeing you on what is sure to be a fun and exciting evening. Warm up this January with an event that has been years in the making, or barrels I should say!

Sincerely,

Dan Iannello, General Manager
Cambridge Brewing Company

What is Barleywine?
Barleywine is a style of strong ale originating in England but is now brewed worldwide. A barleywine typically reaches an alcohol level of 8 to 12% by volume. It is called a barley wine because it can be as strong as wine; but since it is made from grain rather than fruit, it is in fact a beer. Barleywine is meant for slow sipping and savoring of its fruity, high-alcohol and well-aged character. Because they contain a lot of hops and have a high alcohol content, some barley wines are aged for years, much like wines.
