Sierra Nevada’s Bigfoot Ale

Sierra Nevada’s Bigfoot Barleywine Style Ale boosts a whooping 9.6% alcohol by volume.

Bigfoot is a beast of a beer, brimming with bold flavors of bittersweet malt and heaps of aggressive whole-cone Pacific Northwest hops. First introduced in the winter of 1983, Bigfoot is a cult-classic beer brewed in the barleywine style, meaning a strong, robust, bruiser of a beer with the refined intensity of a wine. Bigfoot is prized by beer collectors for its supreme cellarability. Under the proper conditions, it can age like a fine wine, developing new flavors and character as it matures in the bottle. Each new release or “expedition” is vintage dated. Collect your own and see the flavors develop and progress.

Both BeerRate.com and BeerAdvocate give Bigfoot Ale high ratings.
