A TRADITIONAL OLD ENGLISH BEER STYLE THAT HAD BECOME UNFASHIONABLE BUT IS ENJOYING A COMEBACK THANKS TO THE CRAFT BEER REVOLUTION. THERE ARE TWO PRIMARY STYLES OF BARLEY WINE; ENGLISH AND AMERICAN, WHICH TEND TO BE HOPPIER AND MORE BITTER.​

THE FLAVOURS OF BARLEY WINE CAN BE INTENSE AND AS SUCH CAN OVERPOWER MAIN DISHES. IT PAIRS WELL WITH STRONG CHEESES, SWEET CHOCOLATES, AND CARAMEL DESSERTS. AVOID PAIRING WITH ANYTHING DELICATE OR SPICY.
