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.

      OFFICIAL Panthers @Packers GameDay Thread

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      Predictions from the Observer writers  i am sad   I wish the Panthers had one, just one, game changing hero on their roster …one player that isnt ok with losing …there aren't any Steves,, Lukes,  Cams, Thomas’ on this roster    When  a team has a roster and there isn't one jersey that sells, there arent any heroes if there are, today is a good day to show up   From the Oberser  Fowler: Packers 30, Panthers 20. Carolina will hang around for a while for this one, but the Packers — a legitimate Super Bowl threat — have just too much firepower. Kaye: Packers 31, Panthers 20. Green Bay feels like one of the true Super Bowl contenders in the NFC. The Packers’ offense is dynamic and the defense continues to improve. With a banged up O-line and an unpredictable defense, I’m not sure it matters who is at QB for the Panthers on Sunday. The Packers should win at home in convincing fashion. Zietlow: Packers 35, Panthers 28. I predicted last week that the Bills would win in lopsided fashion. They were coming off a two-game losing streak followed by a bye. The Panthers, conversely, were due for a regression after three great weeks. This week, after refocusing, I think the Panthers will put up a strong performance. I also think Rico Dowdle will get the majority of the carries and that the defense will play much better against the run. The Packers will still win, but the Panthers will leave Lambeau with their heads held high.
