I just watched the Baltimore Ravens win the AFC North division. After the great C.J. Mosley ended the Cleveland Browns’ final drive with an interception, we cracked open a Brooklyn Brewery Hand & Seal to celebrate.

This 2014 rare celebration ale, an English barleywine tastes and smells sweet with cherries. It is oaky, boozy and rich. Go Ravens!

For those not having a fantastic aged barleywine for celebrating, I recommend heading to your favorite watering hole. Many thanks to Cat Klein for this appropriate quote:

Cheers!
