BEER

It's men's talk Cal. I wouldn't bother about it if I had your qualifications.

I'm thinking of writing a post on the evolution thread about what you said about scientists being nerds.

Is it alright if I quote you on the subject. I can just as easily quote you as "one of A2K's more intelligent ladies".

Hello sublime! (And I'm wondering too.)

Re a crusty old post by littlek -

I do too, and I don't even like beer. But I've read about Sam Calagione and the starting and development of Dogfish, and would hoist a glass if I were anywhere in that neighborhood.

Yes, you can quote me, spendius.

Dogfish Head beer is just tourist crap. I tasted their 90 minute IPA and its like drinking Mr Clean. It has a terrible cloying taste that comes across as chemically laced. Much of their other beers Ive sipped small glasses just for curiosity and it reinforced my revulsion of a lot of these crafty beers.
They make that **** in a little town called Milton Delaware, its about 7 miles from where we sometime hang out.

Spoken like a true hophead ... How does it compare to Sierra Nevada Torpedo? I assume it's hoppier?

Hi everone! Yep still have the weekend home in Mi.

@Tico I haven't even seen the SN Tornado but it is very hopppy. I was looking for a clone recipe to try to make my own batch and this is the hop schedule.

3.00 oz Simcoe [13.00 %] (Dry Hop 3 days) Hops -
1.00 oz Amarillo Gold [8.50 %] (Dry Hop 3 days) Hops -
1.00 oz Amarillo Gold [8.50 %] (40 min) Hops 20.2 IBU
1.00 oz Simcoe [13.00 %] (40 min) Hops 30.9 IBU
0.50 oz Glacier [5.60 %] (20 min) Hops 4.6 IBU
1.00 oz Cascade [5.50 %] (20 min) Hops 9.0 IBU
0.50 oz Vanguard [5.50 %] (15 min) Hops 3.7 IBU
1.00 oz Glacier [5.60 %] (1 min) Hops 0.7 IBU
1.00 oz Cascade [5.50 %] (1 min) Hops 0.6 IBU
1.00 oz Simcoe [13.00 %] (1 min) Hops 1.5 IBU
1.00 oz Centennial [10.00 %] (1 min) Hops 1.2 IBU

My first batch of IPA got 5 Oz of hops and was in the area of a Stone IPA

The SN Torpedo is awesome ... Right now I like it over the Stone IPA, and that's saying something.

I can't test this out, don't know that they have Dogfish beer anywhere around here, but appreciate your take. I liked Lost Coast Brewery beers, and Red Tail Ale (Mendocino Brewing Company), but I'm no connoisseur. Also like a half bottle of several Mexican beers about twice a year. Haven't chugged beer since.. um, 1975, when the theater group and ex and I went out to a local place. Diane and I split a bottle of ---------- (forget name, but the name was why we picked it) at a local burger and beer place. That was tasty.

I will look for that, you should try Hop Stoopid by Lagunitas or Hop Juice from Two Brothers if you come across it.
It has come to a point where I am almost exclusively drinking IPA's.

When I was in New York in January, I tried Brooklyn Lagar. It had a distinct taste. Later I have found this beer is brewed from malt and hop without cornstarch.

There seems to be a dogfish head 60-minute ale shortage. I am drinking Smuttynose's Shoals Pale Ale in the meantime.

wow...great discussion on beer...Me and my friends always prefer beer when we are on outing..its taste is yummy. we can say safe water drink beer.

...and drink responsible.

Simcoe looks to be the one.

What a name for a really skanky high voltage malt liquor and Redbull mix. We calls it
"Responsible Malt Liquor"

cop stops you for driving on left side of road with no light son at 3 AM, and you sy
"No Ossefficer, I drink Respon ' (urp)sible"

good catch

I'll drink to that.

Since you drink every day, nobody really knows the reasons for your drinking. LOL
