I live in San Diego and if you get the chance to try it Green Flash makes a very delicious and balanced Barleywine. Actually pretty much everything from Green Flash is delicious

[...] not as balanced and smooth as Stone Old Guardian (basically my all-time favorite beer), but yet not nearly as horribly sweet and cloying as Rogue [...]

[...] I’ve really enjoyed Stone Brewing so far. I’ve only had a few of their beers, including Old Guardian and Cali-Belgique, but I’ll go out on a limb and say they are one of the better craft brewers [...]

After having Old Guardian, definitely considering it. It just requires alot more grains to get the gravity up, probably somewhere in the 16 lb range for a 5 gallon batch. I use a 5 gallon mash tun which can accomodate about 10 lbs, so I’d have to do it in two steps.

Captain, have you ever thought of trying to homebrew a barleywine? Is it difficult?

Yeah it’s pretty damn perfect. The more Barleywines I try (had a few more this weekend) I realize this is probably the most perfect balanced Barleywine out there and yes Aaron (VB Boy) I still enjoy Gnarlywine just as much even though it’s a tad bit sweeter.

It truly is a breathtaking beer. I think I will have it on tap at my house at all times when I finally live in some place larger than a kiosk at the mall.
