历史
American craft brewers adapted the English Barleywine concept in the 1970s-80s, adding aggressive American hop character. Anchor Old Foghorn (1976) was the pioneering example of the modern American version. Sierra Nevada Bigfoot (1983) set the template for the hop-forward interpretation. The style remains a challenging, celebrated craft achievement.
