I completely slummed it this weekend. Featured Lone Star, Tecate and Mexicali. To think I used to drink that Mexicali crap exclusively.

Yeah I don't understand "session IPAs", when you cut back the ingredients it's not an IPA any more. I'm waiting for someone to start marketing a bock beer as a session stout next.

I gave up on "session" IPAs after the third or fourth try. Every single one was a drain pour. They've got to keep the grain bills slim to cut out fermentables to keep the abv low, thus making it "sessionable". In turn you end up with bitter, skunky hop water. Keeping the malt low does not mean you have to send the ibu's through the roof. I've heard meta modern is good but I just don't care to find out anymore. If I want an all day ale, I'll stick with dales or cellermans reserve.

On to good beers. Four Corners La Lechuza s'more stout hit shelves yesterday and it is fantastic. Creamy roasty chocolate with a tiny hint of cinnamon and an even tinier hint of a chile pepper or mole touch. It's going to be in my top five for new beers in 2015.

Exactly. It was like Oskar Blues Pinner... only complete shit.

And that makes it even more absurd. Nobody likes pumpkin anything. Ever. What they're really after is the nutmeg, cinnamon, all spice, and cloves.

i like pumpkin seeds, motherfucker!!

So if you hate pumpkin beer you hate America.

I can't say I hate it, I've never tried it. I wouldn't ever have the urge to try it, either. I pretty much do hate America these days though, so sign me up I suppose!

I said pumpkin, not pumpkin spice. As for pumpkin beer specifically it started out of necessity during the colonial times. The pilgrims had native pumpkins, something the Europeans didn't have. They also didn't have a reliable supply of malts so they did what any good alcoholic would do and fermented the starches they had available.

So if you hate pumpkin beer you hate America.

I heard pumpkin juice can heal a hurt butt.

That's probably just rumors though.

I'm afraid that a pumpkin spiced hitman is the only thing that can solve this particular problem.
