I really really appreciate is! :) It seems that this generation of Barely Wine drinkers are coming from a different area all together...probably more of curiosity more than anything. You would be delighted to know that I just picked up my first bottle of Barely Wine...Sisyphus from Real Ale Brewery down here in Texas towards Austin. I'll have to report back, but can't wait to give it another go paired with your suggestions. Also just might have to throw in a great cheese too. ;) Ilya @David

I fell in love with Anchor Old Foghorn, and Old Nick from Young's brewery. Took longer for me to cozy up to the huge, hoppy Americans. If you want to learn to like barley wine, I think you need the right context--by a fireplace, after dinner, at midnight on a nice summer night, at the end of a mixed flight of beer styles. Think small amounts, in a snifter, too. --Dave Ilya, I came to barley wine the same way I came to most classic styles–from reading those lovely descriptions in Michael Jackson’s books back in the early ’90s.

I hear it a lot though from those that are into barely wine, that it's rarely something you get into right away. That it's an acquired taste and something that you have to work your way into. Was curious how you ended up a lover of barely wine and if there is anything in particular that I should be more or less looking for? Ilya David,
