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.

      Yeah and finding an equivalent LT in free agency would cost a LOT of money. It's going to be a lot easier to find the Chuba's and Johnson's than another capable LT. I get the historic anger at Ikey(largely from last season) but that OL group is the last thing I would start dropping bombs on(this includes moving Moton) if we have any desire to add a rookie QB in the next few seasons.

      You’re telling me if someone were to offer you a first round draft pick for Iky who’s better off playing guard than left tackle you wouldn’t take it?  I worked with a few of his post players and they both agreed he was a better NFL guard than left tackle that’s straight from their teammates mouth in college.   also, you mentioned a few post earlier the team is super injured and that’s why they’re playing bad. Remember the first two games where we got absolutely annihilated with our starters? I’m telling you from someone that’s built a business and rebuilt teams. It’s a culture. The culture is horrible.  Now that starts with Tepper but you still need talent even the starters weren’t playing well.    The point of the thread was to see what draft picks we can get for certain players not talking about people that are in their mid 50s an adolescent. You’re telling me national respected radio host on Sportsradio stations that share the same opinion the opinion that I actually got from them are adolescent temper tantrums?

      The only players they should invest in is the ones the team drafts. Chubba should not be extended here. Johnson should not be given a contract hers. Only players from the last draft are eligible and that is a few years down the road. It's cap clearing time and it's going to be painful. They invested in the OL already so that's put of the way.  Just add draft picks and no more FA'S beyond a 1 year contract to full a hole. Draft your future roster and give out extensions if they prove t9 be part of the future. If not a cornerstone player you trade them or let them walk. Rinse and repeat until you have a playoff contending roster.
