Tipple??? Sir, I'm just saying... Tipple sounds like a hipster word. Have you gone to such great lengths?

Nah, tipple's not a hipster word, maybe a bit of a posh/snobby word. but in the context of my using it i am neither posh or snobby

haha... I was just giving you a hard time Mr. Black Cat.

Boy, a guy's team moves up into 7th place and he thinks he can give everyone a hard time.

It doesn't matter what he calls it, because it was soooo good. I left about half the bottle there for when I go back in a couple of weeks. Maybe I'll even share with Itkovian.

I wouldnt share, just hide the bottle and say nothing to anybody. I mean....you are usually drinking Jameson or the other stuff that I never heard of before. Compared to that drinking a Balvenie 12 Doublewood is like winning the lottery.

After what Itkovian has been through this year, he's probably the only one of my boys that I'd share it with.

After what I've been through this year if you share with me you're liable to watch the entire bottle get emptied

So I work late (until midnight) and when I get home I usually have a snack, drink a beer, and go to bed. Pretty regular schedule. Decided to break that schedule for a week and not drink or snack, help me trim off the last few pounds to hit my goal faster.

Did lose a couple of quick pounds, but my sleeping ability has been shot (one of the reasons I have the beer is to help me relax and sleep).

Ain't worth it, going out to buy a case tomorrow

Und ? What beer did you buy ? Hopefully no Miller, Bud or any other kind of flavoured water ?

If I know Itkovian it was some IPA. He tends to like those, unless his budget this week says Yuengling.

IPA's are good, but I actually prefer dark beers - porters or stouts.

Budget this week though said it was time for some Yuengling Oktoberfest

Tonight I had a half and half of Sam Adams Seasonal and Angry Orchard. For the second course, I had this,

In the U.S. that is pronounced "bee-yoot". It was actually really good. I like porters and stouts. This one claimed to have hints of coffee and chocolate. I didn't really get any hint of chocolate, but I could make out the coffee. It was the kind of beer you like to "savor" rather than chug down. I learned something new as well. On the side of the bottle it had an IBU rating of 30, so I had to Google IBU to find out what it meant. Interesting. Now I'll have to figure out if I like beers with a high IBU or a low one.

The higher the IBU's (International Bittering Units), the more bitter the beer. IPA's have a high IBU due to the amount of hops used. The IBU's are measured by the alpha acid content in the hops humulone.

Beers like Helles and weizen have low IBU's and therefore low bitterness.

And Bock ? I assume they are quite similar to Porters or Stouts ? Unfortunately not all breweries provide the IBU on their bottle labels but Ratsherrn does for example.

 

[Croak]

I was reading that the malt in a beer can make the taste different between two beers of similar IBUs. Guinness is listed as a 40, but it has enough malt in it to offset the bitterness, apparently. Sierra Nevada Pale Ale has a similar IBU but it is a more bitter tasting beer for that reason.

Does the IBU in your favorite libation cause this:

Bocks can vary on IBU's... but mostly Traditional Bocks and Dopplebocks are low in IBU's allowing the rich, malty nuttiness (this word for Scotscheese's amusement) to shine thru. However, a Hellesbock is normally quite hoppy and higher in IBU's.

That is an awesome Porter. Great Beer.

Hard to get a bad beer from Dogfishead.

This may have been bought up in a previous post, but are there any Green Bay/Wisconsin specific beers? Ideally that I could get my hands on over here in England?

Tried the Guinness IPA for first time yesterday. Quite nice, though I like the original stout better.
