Inimicus, I've heard good things about the Smuttynose Barleywine. It's on tap right now at Vintner Wine Market in the arboretum -- I'm going to give it a shot tonight.

It's impossible for me to choose a favorite beer, but here are a few that have really impressed me lately:

Ommegang Hennepin Saison

Dogfish Head Squall IPA

Thirsty Dog Siberian Night

New Holland Pilgrim's Dole Wheat Wine

:cheers2:

The Smuttynose isn't as sweet as a lot of the Barleywines tend to be. The DFH for example is too sweet for me. Weyerbacher's Blithering Idiot Barleywine is about as sweet as I can take it. Ive not had Smuttynose on tap so Id be interested to hear what you think of it.

How do you compare the DFH Squall IPA with their 90 minute IPA. I think the 90m and Bells Two Hearted are neck and neck for the best IPAs on the market right now.

:cheers2:

indeed!

I rambled a bit about the differences between Squall and 90-minute on my blog, Pen & Pint.

They're both very well balanced. Keep in mind my bottle of Squall had close to a year on it, but it was still quite a bit hoppier than the 90-minute. It had a really nice floral hop quality, if you're into that. I liked it better than 90-minute, but I swear 90-minute has changed over the years. It seems it used to be hoppier, less malty.

I'll definitely grab a bottle of Squall when it's re-released this month, as I want to try it fresh.

I am with you on the Two Hearted Ale -- it's my favorite IPA.

OH damn!!

Nice blog and thanks for the heads up on the Squall. I'm going to have to see if I can score a bottle or 6. Sounds fantastic.

Thanks! I just started it back in February, so I don't have much up there now. I hope to really start getting some content up and be somewhat of an authority on Charlotte's craft beer scene, which is making strides.

      Not sure who said it first, but Tepper is the correct answer. Still, I'm gonna go with Kasay keeping it inbounds. If, you subscribe to the butterfly effect version of time travel consequences.... When we win SBXXXVIII everybody's lives change: Moose never breaks his leg, We win it all again in 05. Tommy Jone is unknown and Peppers stays home, Champs once more 2008. No artificial pig heart turning JR into a creepy weirdo, no lockout, no Clausen. Fox and Jake ride off into the sunset on their own terms. No 2-14, no #1 pick. But, no laptop, no Blinn, 3 years behind The Golden Calf of Bristol, we still get Cam. JR let's him grow his locs like he always wanted, Smitty sees Cam in a new light. Dreads swinging, (and Smitty with his 3 Lombardis behind him) Cam is old enough to get those calls. No Manning narrative, Cotchery TD, PI against Talib on Philly Brown, 10,000 RTP calls and Kony Ealy SB50 MVP. No Jeans Fridays, no Tepper. KB doesn't slip on his own meatsweat mid-route in SD, Cam becomes the 1st QB to win 10 straight SBs. Retiring after being elected 47th president of the US of A, Cam ushers in the Permanent Proletarian Revolution across the globe, Xi Jinping bows in awe. "ẄøŘƙƐṛ§ őF ŧĤə ŵØRłð, ŮŊÏŦƐ!!!"

      I mean not surprised the Patriots took him in and aren't trying to push him out. They've been the most morally bankrupt team in the NFL for a long while. Wouldn't be surprised if Vrabel has his own dirt on Kraft/Brady and other assholes from that organization over the last couple decades.
