Bigfoot Barleywine-style Ale
I didn't realize that Sierra Nevada made a Bigfoot Barleywine-style Ale. I'll have to try to get some and try it. One reviewer on Beer Advocate says this of it: This beer warms the gullet and obliterates the taste buds. I have had some bitter beers in my experience, but this one blows them all away. Sounds like an imposing beer, which I suppose is appropriate for a beer named after Bigfoot. So I'm now aware of Bigfoot Ale, Loch Ness Monster Ale, and Crop Circle Beer. But there's no Chupacabra Beer, as far as I know. Nor Jackalope Beer. This is an obvious oversight on the part of the beer industry.

I have had the bigfoot barely ale and I must say it was good. My friend works for budweiser and brought some home to sample. I am no beer enthusiast, but it was definitely on the strong side and did indeed make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

I have to say, I fell off the throne this morning after reading about this: http://www.anheuser-busch.com/news/BtoE_100404.htm

I love Bigfoot, kegs are hard to come by though. It's strong stuff at about 9% I believe, but that was in my past.

It's like 9.6% alcohol, so you'll get pretty twisted off a sixer.

I don't know of any Chupacabra beer, but here in my neighborhood in Dallas there's a Chupacabra paleteria (ice cream and fruit juice shop).

There used to be a "El Chupacabra's Bock: brewed by the now defunct US Border Cantina in Alpharetta:

and Sweetwater Tavern in Falls Church, Virginia has a Jackalope Canyon:

It seems the craftbrewers do like the mythical creatures.

Bigfoot Barleywine - good?? - You've got to be kidding!!! Young's Old Nick or Anchor's Old Foghorn have the rich barley flavor and higher alcohol I'm looking for, not some bitter-thru-the-roof ale that should much better be catagorized as an barely drinkable hyper IPA with all the flavor of chewing on raw hops.

Cancun Brewery in Atlanta, GA makes Chupacabra beer. It's a dopplebock, and it's only available in kegs.
It's good. Malty, not super special, but a solid drinkable brew.
