On this episode of All Things Beer, hosts Mark and Pat take a deep dive into the rich history and bold flavors of barleywine—a style that’s as legendary as it is misunderstood.

They’re joined by Angelo Signorino, brewmaster at Barley’s Brewing, and Sandy Hugill, Cicerone, beer judge, and craft beer enthusiast, to explore the origins of this high-gravity ale, its evolution from historic English strong ales to today’s craft beer scene, and what makes it such a unique experience for brewers and drinkers alike.
