Barley Wine: History, Brewing Techniques, Recipes (Classic Beer Style Series, 11)
"Back when we worked together, at what was then called the Pike Place  Brewery, the day we brewed our barley wine was always a special occasion. Even though it  was early fall, we would play Christmas music as we brewed, in allusion to the fact that the  beer would not be released until the holiday season was in full swing. . . .

Well,  sort of."--from the introductionThis definitive book on one of the world's legendary beers clearly explains the mysterious  term "barley wine."
