Style Context

As category context only, the Brewers Association guidelines put British-Style Barley Wine Ale at 8.5 to 12.2 percent ABV and 40 to 65 IBU with high residual malt sweetness, American-Style Barley Wine Ale at the same strength with 60 to 100 IBU, and American-Style Wheat Wine Ale at the same strength with 45 to 85 IBU and at least 50 percent wheat malt. The current listed strength exceeds the cited ranges; current bitterness remains unverified.

Research Notes

  • Field pass 2026-10-13: Targeted brewery-page and hop searches found no current IBU, hop names or qualifying brewery beer URL. Separately named double-oaked and reserve versions were excluded.
  • The home page features six other beers; the beer menu loads from Pourwall and rendered no rows.
  • The session's web search budget ran out before Untappd or press for this beer could be searched.
  • No 2026 medal announcement was found.
  • Researched 2026-10-13.
  • Second pass 2026-10-13: The exact Untappd entry supplied the adopted strength and style. A Craft Beer & Brewing review printed in December 2017 to January 2018 lists 13% ABV and 42 IBU and describes Dancing Pines bourbon aging. That older release was not established as the 2026 version, so its bitterness and process details were not transferred.
  • Deep dive pass 2026-10-14: the description on file comes from Untappd and is not extended.
