From Bret Gordon, head brewer and president of Lumberbeard Brewing in Spokane, Washington, this barleywine-style ale—brewed with whiskey-barrel aging in mind—gets a heavy dose of triticale malt to create some uniquely malt-driven flavors. The malt is all from Spokane’s own LINC Malt craft maltings—if you want to try it, order online from Spokane Brewing Supply.
