I haven’t had any opportunity to try a barleywine that wasn’t my wash going into a still, so you’re right on that one. That said, there’s fairly limited profiles to a lot of those types of beers.

IPAs do have a lot of variety, and all you have to do to change it up is use different hops. I don’t love IPAs, and I hate that they’re all I see in beer aisles, but I also don’t shop beer very much so whatever :)
