Free outdoor picnic concert tonight, MatisYAHOO!!!!! I think he blends yiddish, hasidic and southern fried redneck into his music. Nothing better than piggin' out on bagels, lox and pork barbeque while listening to someone play their jew's harp! BRINGIN' HOME THE BACON !!!!!!! Now ain't that kosher!!

Please help me pick a new nose. I hate being stopped and searched at every airport. Plus I've run out of buggers!

What's the best beer? And the one that's in your hand at the time of the question!

I'm guessing that your "Gulden Draak" is more on the malty side. Whereas you've noted, an IPA is on the bitter side. I find the IPA's I like to be more bitter than an 'average' IPA. HEAVILY hopped! I don't agree with you when you liken it to "most beers". Most beers to me, especially the big Anheiseur's, Miller's and Coor's are VERY bland. Your referenced one is probably as far away from 'normal' as my IPA's. I'd imagine on the opposite end though. Malty vs. Hoppy...."desert" vs. appetizer. I consider my beers as an appetizer, liking them before my meal. BTW, I don't like malty beers, "dark" beers--stout's or porter's. Seriously too, when I let friends sample my IPA's who normally drink an "average" beer they turn their nose up. It's too peculiar for their taste. Funny too, their music taste's and in general, are very bland. That's what fuels the mainstream though, no edge.

What is "normal" about an IPA? I find most "normal" beer drinkers can't stand IPA's. They're not bland enough.
