Jailhouse Judge Barleywine debuts
Jailhouse Judge will be the first beer in the brewery’s new Justice Series.
Just like a southern judge, this beer is tough, a 9% ABV barleywine. It’s big, no question about it. Per Glenn Golden, Jailhouse founder, the barleywine leans American-style, since it is dry-hopped. Judge has a really great balance and mouthfeel with a little cooked caramel flavor.
The Judge market the beginning of a trilogy of beers called the Justice Series. Staunch and impenetrable, The Judge presides over his court. The appropriate heft of this Barleywine demands your attention and if not treated with respect will put you away for some time.
Jailhouse Judge is a 22 ounce bottle and draft offering.
Style: Barleywine
Availability: 22oz Bombers, Draft
Release: Mid-March, 2016

Southern Tier Backburner Barleywine to return in 12oz bottles
Southern Tier Backburner, the brewery’s barleywine will make a seasonal return in January, 2016. This release will feature 12 ounce bottles for the first time.
In 2015, the brewery added 12 ounce 4 packs to the lineup – with additions of Unearthly IPA, Choklat, and Pumking.
Long ago, British farmhouse brewers made special ales using the first runnings of the mash. These beers, now called barley wine, are brewed in the tradition of days past. At Southern Tier this long awaited brew is placed on the back burner until the start of the new year. Back Burner Barley Wine is a celebration of things to come and things remembered. It’s conceived in three small batches, using voluminous amounts of barley and hops. The process starts early in the morning and ends late into the night. We hope this rare brew reignites your spirit for another trip around the sun.
Southern Tier Backburner is a seasonal offering in 22 and 12 ounce bottles and draft.

Hops: Kettle – Chinook. Aroma – Willamette. Dry Hop – Amarillo, Centennial.
