I like beer

I just came across a locally (Easton, PA) crafted IPA called Weyerbacher Last Chance. It tastes like fermented grapefruit juice with a finish that sucks the spit right off your tongue. It is quite refreshing, and after two, becomes addictive.

If you're looking for IPAs, one thing to look for is a number called the IBU (international bitterness unit)

A normal lager or pilsner may be in the teens

Ales and porters normally in the 20s and 30s

Bitter ales and stouts a bit higher

IPAs usually start in the 50s and go up from there

For a nationally distributed IPA, two of the bitterest are Sierra Nevada Torpedo, 65 IBUs and New Belgium Ranger 70 IBUs.

Here's a link for a list of REALLY bitter beers:

I was sampling the Ranger for a few months, but it gave me bladder burn, so I only have one occasionally now. The Torpedo, like most S-N products is a little too carbonated for my taste. Of all those on the list, I've only tasted Dogfish Head and then it was the 90 and 60 Minute variations, not the 120. The 90 has more kick than the 60, so I imagine the 120 is pretty stiff.

Session IPAs are a good choice for those who like to consume mass quantities. They are sort of the Light beers of the IPA family. I usually bring along a 6 pack of Schlafly Can Sessions when I play golf.

I've gotten into the IPA's in the last couple of years. Right now, I'm having a Deschutes Fresh-Squeezed. Also love Schlafly's A IPA. Both are seasonal because they're brewed with fresh hops rather than pelletized hops. The hoppier, the better.

Hate to quote myself, but FYI the Fresh-Squeezed is now available year round, so no longer seasonal.

Seeing as you are in Texas, have you had Shiner's Ruby Redbird? Not an IPA, but it is made with grapefruit and ginger. The most refreshing beer I have had after a long hot ride or mowing the grass.
 
She walked in, and quietly took a seat at the end of the bar. The bartender walked up to her and said; "and what would you like to drink today".

"Ya know" Helga said in a timid voice, "I don't usually go into za bars, but today I vill make an exception.

It is zo hot, I tink I vill have myself a beer". The bartender smiled at Helga and asked;" Anheuser Busch?" Helga blushed and said; "Vell it's fine tanks, und how's yur viener"
 
Beer power wars, hehe still a ways to catch up with Ozarks Kckapoo Joy Juice that's cut 50/50 with fruit/berry juice for the woman but is still nearly 100 proof strong so numbed nerve smooth. Before my arrival here Kingston Arkansas was ground zero for a book - When Money Grew on Trees ------------------

As marijuana goes increasingly mainstream—and, crucially, develops into big (and legal) business—more super-potent novelty strains are likely to crop up. Bruce Banner #3 is the marijuana industry’s answer to The End of History, an ultra-strong Belgian-style ale that the Scottish beer-maker Brewdog made in a specialty batch—which was then served in bottles inside taxidermied squirrels—in 2010. Its alcohol by volume was 55 percent. That’s way, way stronger than most beers.

“It’s the end of beer, no other beer we don’t think will be able to get that high,” James Watt, one of the founders of Brewdog, told me when I visited the Brewdog headquarters in Scotland in 2010.

Yet three years later, another Scottish brewery had whipped up a batch of barley wine called Snake Venom that boasted higher than 67 percent alcohol by volume.

This is human nature. Or maybe it’s just capitalism. One person makes a superlative product, which prompts the next person to best them. Given the opportunity to try something extreme—the biggest, the strongest, the best, the craziest—plenty of people will go for it. But most people don’t pick Snake Venom as their typical pint. And Bruce Banner #3 probably is not representative of the average joint.
 
Flawless Male Logic, Critical Thinking At Its Best!

Woman:
Do you drink beer?
Man:

Yes
Woman:
How many beers a day?
Man:
Usually about 3
Woman:
How much do you pay per beer?
Man:$5.00 which includes a tip .

(This is where it gets scary !)

Woman:
And how long have you been drinking?
Man: About 20 years, I suppose
Woman:
So a beer costs $5 and you have 3 beers a day which puts your spending
each month at $450. In one year, it would be approximately $5400
correct?
Man: Correct

Woman: If in 1 year you spend $5400, not accounting for inflation, the
past 20 years puts your spending at $108,000, correct?

Man:Correct

Woman:Do you know that if you didn't drink so much beer, that money
could have been put in a step-up interest savings account and after
accounting for compound interest for the past 20
years, you could have now bought a new Ferrari?

Man:
Do you drink beer?
Woman:
No

Man:Where's your Ferrari?

If someone told me I couldn't have any more IPAs, but I could still drink beer that would be at the top of the list. Good stuff.
 
Water. beer, wine or booze rationale. Ya know what fish do in water and people dump into it too.



To my friends who enjoy a glass of wine and those who don't and are always seen with a bottle of water in their hand: As Ben Franklin said: In wine there is wisdom, in beer there is freedom, in water there is bacteria. In a number of carefully controlled trials, scientists have demonstrated that if we drink 1 liter of water each day, at the end of the year we would have absorbed more than 1 kilo of Escherichia coli, (E. Coli) - bacteria found in feces. In other words, we are consuming 1 kilo of poop annually. However, we do NOT run that risk when drinking wine & beer (or rum, whiskey or other liquor) because alcohol has to go through a purification process of boiling, filtering and fermenting.



Remember:



Water = Poop, Wine or Beer (or rum, whiskey or other liquor) = Health



Therefore, it's better to drink wine or beer and talk stupid, than to drink water and be full of Shit.



There is no need to thank me for this valuable information: I'm doing it as a public service

Beer, by it's very nature, is made by yeast eating sugar to create alcohol. There is no yeast strain in existence that can
live in an environment beyond 23-25% alcohol by volume. Those beverages which go beyond that alcohol limit are either
distilled products or fortified (blended with distilled alcohol, like Port wine). Taxing authorities will never allow anything
of such high alcohol content to be called a beer or an ale.

Yeah that why real drinkers will order a beer and a scotch. Brandy came about by distilling down to lower weight to ship but the recievers liked it better that way w/o rediluting as first intended. Enough booze at once will kill off any animal, plant, fungus or bacteria.
 
I like beer...yuengling traditional lager .... I had lots of it at the rally. :mrgreen: only after riding...of course! I even had a Corona beer from Jim Comstock when I rolled in on Monday at the beginning of the rally. Its great to have a beer after a long hard day. :)

The host branch was nice enough to have a free keg available over by the bonfire. All week was either Pale Ale or IPA from Wedge, Pisgah, Sierra Nevada and Green Man. Each brewery is in the Asheville area.

Friday I was was told we had to finish the keg by 8PM so they could get their deposit back. Easily done!
 
San diego - up to Orange county is the hot bed for craft beers in Calif. In just the radius of 8 miles from my place i have 8 micro brews (Noble ale works, Phantom Ales, Vialant brewing, good beer company, cismonte, the bruery, old orange brewery, anaheim brewery) - with the IPA'S from a few of them being top notch

i keep wanting to move to Sandiego as the amount of breweries there is truly amazing (and thats not counting the areas around it)
