PORTLAND, Oregon – Migration Brewing will be releasing their Maple Coronet barley wine to the market on Friday, March 3rd. This unique American barley wine is the latest limited release from the company’s burgeoning Migrator barrel aged series.

“Wewere super stoked to work with Glenna Farms on this project. They produce some of the finest organic syrupin Wisconsin and the bourbon barrels are exceptional,” said Mike Branes,Co-Founder and Head Brewer at Migration Brewing. “We’ve been pushing thebrewery team to work with a wide variety of ingredients and this beer reallycame together over a ton of excitement to approach a classic American barleywine differently,” notes Branes.
The Maple Coronet barley wine is brewed to be acomplex, and slightly sweet early springtime treat. Coming in at 11% ABV the beer is crafted on a foundation of fine English Maris Otter malt which brings anutty richness and full roundness to the beer. Three different types of caramelmalts exhibit toffee and tones of cherry, plum and raisin. Maple syrup was added during the run-off ofthe wort, as well as during fermentation, to provide extra sugars. The maplesweetness is not overpowering and integrates into the beer without beingcloyingly sweet.
Glenna Farms was established in 1995when Rick and Kristine Glenna purchased an 80-acre maple syrup operation fromArthur V. Olson. The century old sugar bush is located next to a dairy farm,was well known for producing one of nature’s finest sweeteners, pure maple syrup.
