Big Sid

Rich, malty and bold with toffee and caramel notes and a kick like Big Sid, the legendary 140lb python that escaped in West Michigan, terrorizing northern Kent County in the summer of 1978. Balanced with Cascade, Centennial, and Citra hops, allow Big Sid to slither around your taste buds.

This Barley Wine has several variants as well, including dry hopped versions:
Big Sid Does Cascade – cask conditioned with Cascade dry hopping
Big Sid Does Mackinac – cask conditioned with Michigan Mackinac dry hopping
Big Sid Rides a Comet – cask conditioned with Comet dry hopping
Big Sid Rides a Buffalo – a Buffalo Trace Bourbon Barrel Aged barley wine.
