I like drinking on weeknights because it makes me feel like I'm part of a special club. A special club of people who aren't 9-5 drones.
So like, BTG I guess. :/ |

It's snowing 2 feet here tonight, so it's in fact a weekend for me!
Drinking with a friend of mine. (He's foreign)
//It's a rather hemp-y black IPA, kind of peppery with a sweet chili sort of light wood taste. Curious, indeed. /dons a greasy monocle |

| Why don't I get IPAs? I just don't get it. How did you all develop your palette for it? |

I wish I had some tips other than "it's an acquired taste". I've always liked bitter/spicy/savoury/tangy far, far more than sweet anyway, so darker beers I am more easily adapted to.
The first IPA I really liked was Flying Dog's Raging Bitch. If you haven't tried that, I would personally recommend it as an excellent "gateway" IPA. |

| My tastes have always been for either the really dark thick beers (Guinness, Smitwicks) or light pale ales. i know they're completely opposites....but it's just what i've liked from the get go. If you don't like something, you don't like something. |

| I just seem to only get bitter and floral from so many IPAs. There's a microbrewery here that makes prolly the best (or rather, most enjoyable to me) one I've ever had. But I can't even discern why I found it better. When I went out west, both to California and Vancouver, IPA seemed to be the dominant beer. Funny how that changes by region. Here it's all lager or pilsner. |

holy i wish i were in your situation tonight
that sounds like bliss
never getting to do that is the one thing i realllly hate about so-cal.
and jenny - as for developing a taste for ipas, i got really into pale ales first and that sorta drove me towards them. |
