Leif Larson, Son of Lar out of Narnia, was raised to fight the good fight against iHop for The Love of Waffle House. He and his elven warrior princess, Brittany, fight to make sure all Waffle Houses always have coffee and a proper deck of cards at all times of day. To Relax, they make their rounds to The Glass Jug Beer Lab and Beer Study – Durham.

One day, Leif drank too much Event Horizon at Beer Study, then went to The Glass Jug to see Chris, where he accidentally fell into the boil kettle. Thus, a barleywine, Baby Leif, was born.

On January 16th, The Glass Jug and Beer Study Durham will feature Baby Leif on tap. However, only a small amount of Baby Leif will be available, as the rest of Leif is still maturing in bourbon, rum, and apple brandy barrels. Once ready, the barrel-aged version will be released as #BarleywineIsLeif.

—

Baby Leif is a 9.7% ABV barleywine that is bold and complex with flavors of caramel, toast, and dark fruit that blend perfectly into a very drinkable barleywine that packs a punch. Available on draft at both locations. A limited run of crowlers will be available at The Glass Jug while supplies last.

The first 50 people to purchase a glass of Baby Leif at either location will receive a collectible Leif trading card. These things are going to be hotter than Beanie Babies in the year 1996.
