Phil Nerboso of Norfolk, MA won brewer of the year at the 2017 New England Regional Homebrew Competition. To celebrate his achievement, Phil joined us to brew one of his favorite beers, an English Style Barleywine.

After two years Cave Bear emerges. We aged the original brew in Bourbon barrels, then blended it with a fresh batch of Barleywine to create a rich, bright, and complex example of the style. Join us in raising a glass to Phil and homebrewers everywhere.
