Style Context

As category context only, the Brewers Association guidelines put British-Style Barley Wine Ale at 8.5 to 12.2 percent ABV and 40 to 65 IBU with high residual malt sweetness, American-Style Barley Wine Ale at the same strength with 60 to 100 IBU, and American-Style Wheat Wine Ale at the same strength with 45 to 85 IBU and at least 50 percent wheat malt. The published strength fits the barleywine ranges; bitterness exceeds the British range but fits the American range.

Research Notes

  • Field pass 2026-10-13: The brewery drinks catalog names Old Diablo Barley Wine and qualifies as beer url because no dedicated page was found. It lists 11.0% ABV, versus the retained Untappd 11.3% already cited; the difference remains unresolved.
  • The on tap page loads its menu from BeerMenus, which returned an empty page, and the beer finder shows no results.
  • The session's web search budget ran out before Untappd or press for this beer could be searched.
  • No 2026 medal announcement was found.
  • Researched 2026-10-13.
  • Second pass 2026-10-13: The exact Untappd entry supplied strength, bitterness, named hops and malts. Search results for Slow Burn barrel aged releases were excluded as variants. No dedicated brewery beer page was found.
  • Catalog.beer 2026-10-14: Catalog.beer: Old Diablo lists 10.5% ABV, 65 IBU, style "British-Style Barley Wine Ale" (entry last modified 2020-05-02). Where it differs from the brewery's own published value, the brewery's value stands.
  • Deep dive pass 2026-10-14: the description on file comes from Untappd and is not extended.
