Lagunitas Gnarlywine
I had this out at the Tap & Mallet. I’m a huge fan of Lagunitas. Mostly because of their IPAs, which have the perfect hop flavorings as far as my tastes are concerned. I was out with my brother-in-law and we were treating ourselves to a nice lunch, so I sprung for a nice bottle.
This is definitely a heavy-hitter, as you would expect with a barleywine, and I almost couldn’t finish it at lunchtime. Almost. It has that strong, winey, almost puckering sharp taste so have it with something big, like a steak sandwich and a steak sandwich. :D But definitely have it.
