Watching the Bruins game tonight. Chilling out, still “high” off of the victory for Rock Art Brewery. Happy that tomorrow is Friday. Man, this week has flown by.
Tonight I’m drinking a Barleydog Brewing Honey Brown Ale. What? You don’t recognize the name? Well the label should help refresh your memory. Wait…still nothing? OK, I guess you’ve probably never heard of it since my friends Sean and Kerry brewed it themselves and gave it a cool name in honor of their dog Barley. They passed me a couple bottles, so I agreed to review it.
It smells like a brown ale. A little nutty. Massive amounts of head, but that was 99% my fault (bad pour). The brew goes down easy. Good flavor. My only complaint would be that it seems fairly light; the beer is on the watery side. Sean tells me that the hops are honey-infused and there isn’t any honey actually added to the beer itself. This results in only a hint of honey on the tongue. I get mostly a nutty flavor.
Hopefully more of this will land in my fridge sometime soon.

Yes, you can hardly give a bad review to your buddy's home brew that came to you for free. (I actually need friends like that!) And as for the hockey, I'm so jealous. When I lived in NY, I got every Devils, Rangers and Islanders game, even though I despise them all. Now that I live in (terrible) Florida, Versus is in a contract dispute with DirecTV. Bullshit. Maybe you can convince Comcast (who owns Versus) to negotiate better, seeing how you single handedly brought Hansen Beverages to cave to the Vermonster.
LOL. I hardly can take credit Hansen caving (it was everyone everywhere who joined the cause), but thanks anyway.
I was going to review the beer honestly one way or another. At least I told myself that. It was good, so I didn't have to test my integrity.
Sorry about the hockey. Florida sucks. Who puts a hockey team in Florida?

I saw the pic and knew it had to be homebrew. I'm not a big fan of honey, in or out of beer. I'm glad you gave it an honest review…I am sure your friend appreciated that far more than an obligatory A+ review…I sure would!
Last night I found myself lost in the beer aisle…my wife found me.
Nate:
Nice! Too bad she found you though.
