My advice to everyone: do what you love. Simple, maybe a little cliche, but true nonetheless.

It’s an axiom clearly understood by Jeppe Jarnit-Bjergsø, founder of Evil Twin, and a man Forbes once called “a craft beer Anthony Bourdain.” When we asked him to tell us about today’s traditional, straight-up Barleywine, he said the crew brewed it for one easy-to-understand reason — it’s his favorite style.

Also, he told us the name Tasting Notes originally came from an email miscommunication, which might be the most Evil Twin thing I’ve ever heard.
