The brewery Hair of the Dog also make a Barley Wine named Fred.G.M. Gillman wrote:Hair of the Dog was originally brewed in tribute to beer writer Fred Eckhardt. That was the Adam emulation. It sounds like a brewery of this name has since been established which makes the Adam and other styles (or did it exist under that name when the first beer was made?). I think HOTD Adam was stronger than the mild ale in question, but then too beers in different places can often resemble each other in taste!

Here is its commercial desription:
"Fred was created to honor beer writer and historian Fred Eckhardt. Fred the beer is a deep golden color. It is made with aromatic and rye malts and includes 10 different hop varieties in an effort to incorporate the whole world into this beer."
