      I feel like if I have any chance at ever liking any kind of IPA,then a Milkshake IPA might be the one. Does having the milk sugars effect the bitterness level? Are they significantly less bitter than traditional IPAs?

        Going out with a bang, as they say!..

        Jett: most (NE)IPAs these days aren't bitter at all… Just don't buy a "Westcoast classic" kinda style and you'll be good... Buy anything with lactose and it'll definitely be a tad sweeter...

            Love Pliny. It's subutle without being underwhelming.

              I had a YUGE night with me mate and partner... With a lovely bit of snooker for a background, we cracked open some excellent bottles of wine... Then we had the idea to open a Tilquin Pinot Gris (batch 1)... What a truly phenomenal beer that is!.. Buy it if you come across it!.. (Btw I'm sure batch 2 is just as excellent...)

                La Chouffe Houblon IPA Tripel (9%) has been my favorite for years.

                          I miss that kind of IPA. No school like the old school.

                              Bought about 6 cans of fun summer stuff before getting into the fall beers. Pumpkin beers have already infiltrated store shelves so it is coming soon ready or not!

                              This one comes from a local brewer who really specializes is strong IPAs so this is definitely a stretch for them. It definitely has a banana daiquiri or pina colada smell and light coconut taste. A little thin but pretty fresh and tasty for mid to late summer.

                                I love Left Hand beers,especially their Nitro Stouts and Porters. I’ve been to the brewery in Colorado. Didn’t think that’s where you were located?

                                  Dude I’m such an ass, when I bought it I assumed it was 4 Hands which is in StL. And when I actually opened it, I was too excited to drink it to actually really read it.

                                  Good beer even if I apparently cant read the can [emoji28]

                                    If you ever do find yourself in the vicinity of Longmont CO. I highly recommend visiting the brewery with a designated driver.

                                      Will have to look it up! I’m with you on their stouts and nitros, havent been disappointed yet.

                                      We want to do a CO trip some time soon, Covid has buggered it all but hopefully next year? Beautiful part of the country [emoji3531]

                                        Colorado is a really great beer state,and home of The Garden of the Gods and the Red Rocks amphitheater,which is definitely a bucket list thing for me.

                                          Beautiful stuff, folk…

                                          There's a rather severe heat wave taking place at the moment in Belgium... It's 4am and 29C°/ 84F in my flat as of right now with this probably being the lowest temp til Friday... Match this with a particular nasty bout of alcoholism due to my dad having died one year ago and well... tl;dr: ain't posting, been drinking.

                                          Much love. Stay safe. Look after one another.
