    Side question... Can someone school me on what Stingo really is? I've had Sam Smiths Yorkshire Stingo and I love it (though not the price). But I don't know what makes a Stingo, Stingo. All I can find is that it's slang for old strong ale. Is that really it? There's no flavor profile or brewing technique expected from a Stingo? I know Sam Smiths version involves barrel aging and open top fermenting, etc. but is that technically correct or are those creative liberties?

    Per Wikipedia, as I couldn't find it in the Oxford companion to Beer:

    Located on the south side of the Marylebone Road, it was a rural location when first built. An admittance charge was made, redeemable with the waiters, as a method of preventing those with no money from enjoying the facilities. Its name comes from a fashionable slang word of the 18th century for strong or old ale. The name possible comes from the sharp, or "stinging" flavour of a well-matured beer.[1]
