Tweaked Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 I picked up a bomber bottle of Williamsburg AleWerks Grand Illumination Barleywine Ale. Overall a solid offering. Doesn't hit you over the head like some barleywines...but a very agreeable beer to work on after dinner with perhaps some funky cheese and a glowing fire. First time I have seen any of their beers in DC. Anyone else tried any of their stuff? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PappyVanWise Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 I had the Bourbon Barrel Porter a year or so ago, and your sentiments are similar to mine. Wasn't the best aged porter, but I remember thinking they did a pretty good job with it. I think there might be another one in my cellar, and I'll be interested to taste it after a few years of aging. My big issue with AleWerks is that their name is too similar to AleSmith, who don't have distribution around here. So it's a little bit of a letdown when I realize it's AleWerks I see on the shelf, and then resentment builds and I end up buying something else.
