What is a hop? Is it a short, low jump? Or is it a plant used in the creation of beer?
Beer comes in so many styles and flavor that I have to laugh a little when someone makes a blanket statement like, "I don't like any beer." because that means you just haven't found one you like. I've had beer that tastes like the most delicious cherries and beer that is so bitter it would literally rip your face off.
Everyone has their preference. I'm a big IBU guy but that doesn't mean I don't love a delicious porter.
IPA is the hip style right now but it's also delicious. Citrusy, often high IBU. Pairs great with food.
If you can get a can of Old Chub on Nitro in your area I'd highly recommend it. It's like drinking a delicious beer milkshake.
If you're starting off in the world of craft beer it can be daunting with so many brands and styles. Just grab a few that sound interesting and go to town until you find some you like.

There's also just 40oz of malt liquor... In plastic bottles....if that's your thing.

That makes it taste better!
Both are very good. The first one is a wheat beer, I think. The Hop Hog is a double IPA.
You can now beer at some gas stations in PA, which is really nice and convenient.
It is rather annoying when the only thing on the menu is a Guinness though.
Beer problems.
Somebody has to be the gateway to dark beers.
Far as I'm concerned you can just make it a wall. I ain't never need to go there.

Overall Minnesota did not have a good year though.
It was delicious.

I find it little disconcerting to have them planning hotels/opening new facilities and then wheeling around and axing staff.
Mostly I've just been on a cider kick for the last few years though. Downeast cider is pretty good!
Well tell them some guy you know from the internet gives them his seal of approval.

I will!
I was actually thinking about this after GABF. I'll put something up this weekend if I have time.

Especial, or Negra? BTW, very happy they now sell a combo case.

On second thought, it's an IPA from Pfriem so 'all good' is putting it mildly.
I am scandalized.

i exist to bring others shame
I am often scandalized by people who like things I do not like.
I am a delicate flower prone to fainting spells and the vapours.
I gotta move further out from the CBD so I have space for that.
And then next Saturday I'm pouring beers for Dry Dock's 11th anniversary party.

Rogue has their own cooper, and their master distiller was pulling samples of their rye and dead guy whiskies from the casks for us. I have dined on honeydew, and drunk the milk of paradise.
