An Exclusive Blend of Barrel-Aged Golden Barleywine Ale

13th Anniversary Golden Barleywine Ale is aged in 8-13-year old Heaven Hill bourbon barrels and is a blend of 5, 7, 18, 20, and 28-month old barrel-aged golden barleywine ale.

13th Anniversary Golden Barleywine Ale is a celebration of Fremont Brewing’s Golden Birthday and 13th Anniversary. This blend is a ~new~ golden barleywine recipe that was inspired by our recipe of Aurelius. We blended a small component of aged barleywine, which accentuated the subtle flavors of vanilla, maple, honey, oak, and leather from aging in 8-13-year-old Heaven Hill bourbon barrels. Each sip is more special than its last.

Thank you all for being a part of this journey of experimenting, pushing the limits with new recipes, and supporting our passions for our barrel-aged program. Cheers to 13 years and many more!
