From Extra 92.1
Extra on tap episode #20
They discuss Old Ruffian, from Great Divide.
Sadly, AY claims this is an American style beer. Barleywine is an English style beer.
Then he talks about American style lagers, followed by the craft brewing revolution. He claims (basically) that barleywines didn't exist 20 years ago, and that's just a horrible statement. The barleywine style has been around for a very long time (the first listed barley wine was around 1900, and was Bass No. 1). The style can also be an Old ale, or an ale for keeping, and those have been around for as long as people have been brewing ales.
He discusses pairing beers a bit, but not really, he claims it can be done, as opposed to how to do it.
