What ELSE am I drinking? We're planning on having a Barleywine Brunch for the Kentucky Derby in May. Combining bacon and beer seems like a no-brainer, so I've been collecting various barleywines and aging them for this event. I've been searching for the 2011 Three Floyds Behemoth, but I feel like I'll have to get to the brewery to buy it. So when I saw that Lagunitas released their 2011 Gnarlywine, and at only about $5 for a 22oz bomber, I decided to pick it up. After a bunch a other beers and some super-spicy chili, maybe it wasnt a great idea to open this bottle, but I really felt that it was way too sweet and unbalanced. I'm a big fan of Lagunitas' Little Sumpin Sumpin Wild Ale, and this beer seemed like it had some of the same tastes, but in all the wrong ways. I'm not sure if this beer will make the cut.
