Ugh, anything with an IBU over 90-100 is bitter as acid



Let's agree to disagree on this subject.... even though I am right, again...




you do realize India pale ales were developed to mask poor quality ingredients in the brewing process, right?
I scoff at your biased ignorance good sir! May a case of Natural Light land on your doorstep!
India pale ale - All About Beer
The story of India pale ale (IPA) is one of the most romantic in the history of beer. At the height of its empire, Britain had emigrants, sailors and troops all around the world—with India being one of its most important outposts. All demanded beer, but India itself was too warm for brewing. To meet that need, London brewers who supplied ale learned through experience that the voyage to India could be tough on perishable beers.
Bourbon....I've tried Maker's Mark and found it okay.
That's my go-to Bourbon. I've been wanting to try their Rye.Have you tried Knob Creek?
That's my go-to Bourbon. I've been wanting to try their Rye.
IPAs need to go away... too many over hopped beers out there, so bitter you can't taste anything after the first sip. Hops are for finishing beer, they shouldn't be the only/overpowering flavor in the beer. MOO...
a well balnced beer with depth and breadth of flavor is much more to my liking... a good stout, porter, true pilsner, true lager, amber ales, brown ales...
Here is my list of my five favorite bourbons, to include ryes, that I have had bottles of during 2017.
1) Kentucky Owl Rye
2) EH Taylor Single Barrel
3) EH Taylor Small Batch
4) Elijah Craig BP Batch B517
5) Elmer T Lee
Best pour Ive had all year is Pappy Van Winkle 15.
Have you tried Knob Creek?
All national brands. Kentucky Owl is on their 1st batch of rye and 7th for bourbon.Are these local? Other than the Pappy Van Winkle, I've not tried (or even heard of) the other ones. Guess I need to get out more.
Challenge accepted.Yes, they are two different beasts, I get it, but translate Woodford Reserve into "something my Irish whiskey drinking ass who found Makers Mark to be meh" can understand.
