A limited few kegs of these Strong ales and Barleywines which have been brewed over the years have been squirreled away and specially aged for the specific intent of being reintroduce to the public at the Grand Opening of our brewpub! The purpose of which would be to taste these in small amounts vertically to compare the effects of age over the years on similarly brewed strong beers. Good strong ale matures in a very unique and complex way over the years similar to aging wines. Tasting these types of beers in this way is a special treat. Hope you appreciate them as much as we do.

His nickname was Yohuallahunatzin relating to his proclivity toward Aztec beer consumption. He was also called Yoalli Tlauana meaning night drinker. The brewers of "Yo" could easily have this nickname too.
