The story of Almanac 2018

Brewed at the Cowbell Farm on opening day, August 5, 2017, this exceptional 11.7% Barleywine aged beautifully for twelve months until its release on Cowbell’s first anniversary as 2018 Almanac. On each anniversary, the brewing team will craft another fine beer in honour of our friends, our Team and the journey we share.
