A while back I read about a barley wine on this group. It inspired me to try a couple, and I was hooked. New favorite fireside beverage. So, I only thought it fair/fitting that I mention my newest discovery here. Weyerbacher Blithering Idiot. I enjoyed it on tap over the weekend at the Pepperland Cafe in Berwick, ME. Great place, if you're even in the area go there. Seriously. Anyway, they had 2 barley wines on tap, Blithering Idiot and Sierra Nevada Bigfoot. I've had the bigfoot, and I like it, but I decided to try something new. I'm so glad I did. Not as malty/hoppy as the Bigfoot, but oh so good. Anyway, figured I'd throw it out there in case one of you comes across it and wonders. It's got a firm recommendation from my camp. Oh, and at 11% go easy, lest you become a blithering idiot.
Does barley wine qualify as beer?
I will have to give the recommended beverages a try.

Could be like the Hiney Wine in the green bottles.. But 11%!!.. Call it whatever you like, and call me a cab.. Could make a person prefer a tadpole over a lowracer... And for the record, blithering is not encouraged on ARBR-- It would confuse our fulltime blatherers..

Better a lowracer than a highracer or upright for riding drunk. Falls do not hurt that much when you start 30 cm or less from the ground.
A go cart track, a tadpole and being drunk would be an excellent combination!

Finest kind in my book. I'm not sure technically, but any beer review site will include it. The brewers often call it beer. It's in the beer section at my local bottle shop and my local supermarkets. It's a beer to me!

Cool. If you get a chance post back with what you think. Have you had barley wines in the past?

Heh... for the first time in my life I now want a trike. Not nearly bad enough to buy one, but it's a fun thought. I know where I can find a go-cart track I could sneak into in the wee hours of the morn. That'd be fun explaining to the cabby. "I just need you to take me and this trike to the go-cart track." "Of course I know it's 2am, do you think I'd be able to get this thing on there in the day?". "Why yes, I am drunk. I had 2 beers! That was an important part of this plan". "No, I'm not a lightweight. You drink six of these things and you'll become a blithering idiot".
Barleywine is to wine what chicken-fried steak is to chicken. Yes, it's beer, but with an alcohol content similar to wine, hence the name. Some local food labeling laws cause it to be marketed as "barleywine-style beer" which leads to a misconception that it is not actually barleywine, when that's exactly what it is. Such laws are to prevent stupid people from thinking it's grape-based.

Despite its name it is merely a very strong (read high alcohol content) style of ale though ... not to be mistaken for a session beer chugged down on a hot day.

I urge all and sundry to stay away from such beverages. If you partake, they will cause your feet to go numb. Then you will be as numb down below as you are top side. Nay, drink only water, the true nectar of the Gods!

Fin du Monde is many things, including a fine beer, but one thing it is not is French.
It is Canadian, from Chambley, Quebec.
OK...True French from France, French-Canadian, whatever. My point is, their ilk tends to have great tasting food and drink, and they charge a lot for it.
Please keep in mind - most of us Americans have only a very vague idea, of the world outside our borders.

No, but since I like wheat beer [1], it appears promising.

I thought everyone in "Dr Strangelove" was totally sane and all acted very reasonably. It is why I advocate the carpet atom bombing of all Muslim lands. That would be the best way to rid the world of that odious religion (Islam) and the savages who follow it.
By the way, B. Hussein Obama had a Muslim father and went to a Muslim school in Indonesia. This was of the Whahabi sect, the worst form of Islam. Let us hope that my gal Hillary kicks his ass but good!
Many of those people in Ohio, Rhode Island and Texas voting for $Hillary must be Republicans crossing over.
I think I may vote for gene "datakoll" daniels as a write-in candidate.

The Ephemere hasn't yet impressed me, but the Chambly Noire is a sophisticated perversion of a Guinness-type beer (that means I like it). Of their strong beers, my favorite may be Don de Dieu, but they range from extremely good to the best beer I've tried.
I haven't tried Seigneuriale yet.

Not true. While in Indonesia, he went to two schools: one was a public secular one, the other was Catholic. It is true that at the public school, most of his classmates were Muslim, but it was not a Muslim school.
Next, you'll be telling me he's Jewish. After all, the former Israeli prime minister is named Ehud Barak.
