First sample of my ‘26 SMASH Barleywine, with Maris Otter and Pilgrim…WLP028. Flavor is off the charts, carbonation absolutely sucks. I have some work to do here in order to see this beer through another 10 years. Ordering a pack of CBC-1 right now.
This is Alice in Grains IPA, a collaboration between Hetty Alice and Grains of Wrath. Our long walk home conveniently takes us past The Garden on Friendly, so why not stop to enjoy a beer outside on a beautiful afternoon.
