Man, either you people don't appreciate a good barleywine, or this is some sort of hype push-back.

This.

Well, it's not that we don't appreciate them, it's that we don't want to/can't drink them all that often.

I mean, there's nothing quite like kicking back after a long day at the office with a 2 year old barleywine.

It's definitely that people don't appreciate barleywine. They like hops or roast. Complex maltiness and balance in big beers seems to escape people.

Basic barleywines don't bring all the boys to yard.

I love a good barleywine, I just don't think fresh Grand Reserve is that amazing. Still have plenty of bottles that need to age.

I appreciate GR's history and could argue its among the flagship beers for LA. It's a solid American Barleywine. That said, I think most craft beer drinkers including myself prefer an English style Barleywine.

I just don't get the richness out of it that you get with Mother of All Storms, A Deal With the Devil, Kuhnhenn and others. That being said, if there's a few styles I'm take it or leave it with its Barleywines.
