  • OMG, I've quit so many homebrew clubs because of their unnatural fascination with hops, Hops, HOPS!!! Boil 'em, brew on 'em, back 'em in your taps... HOPSSS!!!!

    If i wanted to feel like I've just been smacked in the face with a bag of fresh grass cuttings, I'm sure I could pay a guy.

    One fucking guy was making hops extracts to DROPPER into his Hazy New England IPA so there was a fucking green oil slick on top. I quit on the spot, got up and walked out.

    Reference brewing in to US is a lost art. Present a Kölsch or a Maibock in spec and they shit on you because its too sweet, but if you just make it an Imperial with more hops..?

    Ptui.

  • I did a Sweet 16 bracket elimination contest for regional IPAs a few years back just to force myself to identify the 'good' ones and eliminate bad ones. Even after doing that, I do a little dance any time there's something else available.
