If Stone called it an IPA, no one would have a problem with that, but they're notoriously secretive as to what goes into AB, and they make several great IPAs that they label as such. Categorizing beers like this is largely meaningless, but I would likely use the generic "strong ale" as that term can describe a big IPA, barleywine, etc. - including the beers in the gray area like AB.
Free the Hops has done some great work in AL. I even have a snifter of theirs to support the cause. I don't think I've ever heard of a small collective group of people actually getting so much done politically. This is the video I was referring to. Kinda shows you what they're up against in the government. Germany?!
The more hops the better.IMO, APA's have strayed too close to IPA. Not a fan of all the hoppy everything everyone is doing. I'm not a certified judge though
Super hoppy beers can have balance though. I dig a hop bomb that has the right amount of maltiness.The more hops the better.IMO, APA's have strayed too close to IPA. Not a fan of all the hoppy everything everyone is doing. I'm not a certified judge though
Id say quit while you were ahead but then we'd have to go back in time while you were still swimming in your father's sack.
Big effin'
Least surprising knee jerk post ever.
Agreed but too many brewers (IMO) forget that fact and try to cram as much hops as possible in every bottle.Super hoppy beers can have balance though.

Did you listen to Alvin Holmes yet?Big effin'
I'm really not a beer drinker, either. But some of our alcohol laws are still ridiculous (ABC monopoly). And I even get to blame democrats since they controlled our state house for 130 years.

Ruckus (Hoptimus Prime) is trying to revitalize the old Neuweiler Brewery...
But they are all liberal high tax states.Stone brewery is greedy and doesn't like to fund roads schools and bridges.
Don't be jealous just because you were delivered from a test tube into a turkey baster before planting it inside a civil union set of parents.
No, you said there were a lot of "other IPAs." If you weren't saying Arrogant ******* is an IPA, then your post doesn't make much sense as it's the only beer that was being discussed and you were the only one that brought up an IPA. The post you originally responded to brought up Stella Artois and Belgian Trappiste beers. Then, you brought up Arrogant ******* and how it's past its prime. You were called an idiot and then said there were other IPAs since Arrogant *******. "Others" to what, if not Arrogant *******? Just own it, dude.
Oh, I know it.

I can't imagine they would leave San Diego entirely. That's crazy talk.
Birmingham now has three very viable breweries right in town and another really good one up in Huntsville. Plus a gourmet/foodie scene that none of the other cities listed can match. And real estate downtown is incredibly cheap and a legit purchase rather than rent option the way downtown is developing. Not surprising Stone is interested.
When the hell did you drag your ### out of retirement? I get busy for a little while and things just go haywire. Is eminence back?
