The Class of ’88 breweries have planned four celebratory events around the release of their barleywine ales. All of these celebrations offer horizontal tastings of the three variations. The entire collaboration is a rare event, and the opportunity to taste the three versions will be for a very limited time. So if you’re in the vicinity of Bend or Portland Oregon or San Francisco or Fort Bragg California, join the party, sip some ale and have a good time.
