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.

      Is this the wrong place to ask?  Help me please!!   I'm taking my 12 year old to his first game.  We would like to get there early.  Are there any kid friendly tailgating areas?   Thanks in advance

      Bryce contingency plan?

      By micnificent28 · Posted

      Honestly Bryce is a conundrum right now I'm not really sure what we should do with him but I am content on him being the quarterback number one going into next season. I think we should allow him the chance to play out the season to prove that he's the quarterback he can be going into next season.  I would not waste a high draft pick on a quarterback because I'm not sure anyone in this up and coming class is as good or has the ceiling that he had with that said I wouldn't throw away the future I would bring in someone like Justin Fields to have him looking over his shoulder and give us a plan b if everything doesn't go right on a one-year deal. I think the priority right now if tepper wants to make a big splash is find a way to get Travis Hunter that would be option 1AA because he helps with both sides of the field either way whatever you need defense or offense. Make that happen and then go mostly defense the rest of the way and we're cooking.
