3/28 Sun. 5pm-close Blue Point Brewing "Old Howling Bastard" $2 Pint Night Tyber Creek Pub
1933 South Blvd
Charlotte, NC
Named after an infamous local character, it is a strong ale with plenty of character all its own. Made with English two row barley and Vienna malt. Reaching an alcohol content of 10%, barleywine should be consumed in moderation. Strong malty caramel flavors are balanced by lots and lots of hops. Try this in a snifter or wineglass. The trick is to never forget that after a few glasses you may become the "Old Howling Bastard."
