This is our tribute to Matt Bonney, our fallen brother from another mother! Our lover of his wife Lynn, Vans shoes, Cigars, Beer, Clutch, Scotch, Jeeps and Centaurs. Bonney helped to shape the beer community here in Seattle, was wise beyond his earth years, an inspiration to many, the glue that brought so many together for so many years and so many beers and left us all too soon. What better beer than a Barleywine Ale? We brewed this beer soon after Matt left us with a group of friends and aged it in barrels that bring elements of the Man, the Myth, the Legend to liquid form. For those of you that knew him, there are peat barrels – he had an affinity for cigars and peaty scotch – Jack Daniels barrels, let’s just say 3 fingers worth in a bucket, and ex-bourbon vanilla bean barrels which reminds us of what his Jeep smelled like. Matt would have liked a Viking funeral, one where flaming arrows were shot at his boat as he floated out to Sea and the Great Beyond. So turn the music up, light something on fire and drink up, Matt would want it to be no other way.
