>>Well I stand corrected. I assumed IPAs were created hundreds of years ago when people were traveling/exploring by ship.

That's exactly why they developed in the early 19th century, and why - the high ABV helped them survive long ship journeys.

But after two world wars they'd disappeared in England, and after Prohibition only Ballantine's survived in the US.  Ballantine's clung on, but by the 50's, drinkers in the US were completely abandoning ales in favor of watery pale lagers.  Ballantine's ultimately faltered and sold out to Fallstaff, which in turn faltered and sold out to Pabst.  What Ballantine's became after that we won't discuss.

Those were the dark times into which I was born, when men walked into a bar and said "beer" and looked at the bartender with scorn if he asked "which?"  When I reached drinking age, I thought I despised beer.  Turns out I only despised the horse-piss that was foisted on consumers as "beer" under the brands Budweiser, Coors, and Pabst.  And as if that wasn't bad enough, somebody came up with the idea of watering it down even further and charging a premium for "Light beer."  Americans loved it!   People wonder that Americans were such fans of Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, Barack Obama and Donald Trump.  But that's par for the course from the country that gave the world Bud Lite and the Silver Bullet.  Not that great beer really defines a country.  I mean, Germany loved Angela Merkel.  Go figure.

Anyway, by the 90s real beer was starting to reappear in the world.  You had to go to brew pubs to get it, and it cost too much, but at least it could be had.  And that's when, after millennia of brewing history, brewers finally figured out that if you categorized your product like the French and Starbucks, people will pay more for it!  Suddenly we could choose among Lattes, Cappuccinos, Breves, and Mochas in the morning, and by happy hour we had to select among Nut Brown Ales, Stouts, Aspics, Pilsners, Pale Ales and   India Pale Ales at Happy Hour.  Good times.

there was a time the 'best beer' I found in NY was Genesee 12 Horse Ale. nobody but me was drinking it and at less than a dollar a bottle it was a bargain. then it caught on and the price went up. Becks was a bargain for awhile but their price went up. for a drunk like me I bought the cheapest draft there was. I drank for effect not taste.

Today is Saturday, May 22, the 142nd day of 2021.
There are 223 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History:


On May 22, 2017, a suicide bomber set off an improvised explosive device that killed 22 people at the end of an Ariana Grande concert in Manchester, England.

On this date:

In 1813, composer Richard Wagner (VAHG’-nur) was born in Leipzig, Germany.

In 1915, the Lassen Peak volcano in Northern California exploded, devastating nearby areas but causing no deaths.

In 1939, the foreign ministers of Germany and Italy, Joachim von Ribbentrop and Galeazzo Ciano, signed a “Pact of Steel” committing the two countries to a military alliance.

In 1960, an earthquake of magnitude 9.5, the strongest ever measured, struck southern Chile, claiming some 1,655 lives.

In 1962, Continental Airlines Flight 11, en route from Chicago to Kansas City, Missouri, crashed after a bomb apparently brought on board by a passenger exploded, killing all 45 occupants of the Boeing 707.

In 1964, President Lyndon B. Johnson, speaking at the University of Michigan, outlined the goals of his “Great Society,” saying that it “rests on abundance and liberty for all” and “demands an end to poverty and racial injustice.”


In 1967, a fire at the L’Innovation department store in Brussels killed 322 people. Poet and playwright Langston Hughes died in New York at age 65.

In 1968, the nuclear-powered submarine USS Scorpion, with 99 men aboard, sank in the Atlantic Ocean. (The remains of the sub were later found on the ocean floor 400 miles southwest of the Azores.)

In 1969, the lunar module of Apollo 10, with Thomas P. Stafford and Eugene Cernan aboard, flew to within nine miles of the moon’s surface in a dress rehearsal for the first lunar landing.

In 1992, after a reign lasting nearly 30 years, Johnny Carson hosted NBC’s “Tonight Show” for the final time (Jay Leno took over as host three days later).

In 2011, a tornado devastated Joplin, Missouri, with winds up to 250 mph, claiming at least 159 lives and destroying about 8,000 homes and businesses.

In 2018, Stacey Abrams won Georgia’s Democratic gubernatorial primary, making her the first woman nominee for Georgia governor from either major party. (Abrams, seeking to become the nation’s first Black female governor, was defeated in November by Republican Brian Kemp.)

Ten years ago: A tornado devastated Joplin, Missouri, with winds up to 250 mph, claiming at least 159 lives and destroying about 8,000 homes and businesses.

Five years ago: President Barack Obama arrived in Vietnam, making him the third sitting president to visit the country since the end of the war.

One year ago: President Donald Trump labeled houses of worship as “essential” and called on governors to let them reopen; he threatened to “override” governors who defied him. As Americans headed into the Memorial Day weekend, health officials urged them to follow social distancing and other measures aimed at stopping the spread of the coronavirus. In a radio interview, Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden suggested that African Americans who backed President Donald Trump “ain’t black”; he later said he “should not have been so cavalier.” A Pakistani airliner crashed near the airport in Karachi, killing 97 of the 99 people on board. “Full House” star Lori Loughlin and her fashion designer husband, Mossimo Giannulli, pleaded guilty to paying half a million dollars into the University of Southern California as part of a college admissions bribery scheme. (Loughlin would spend two months behind bars; Giannulli began a five-month sentence in November 2020 and was released to home confinement in April 2021.)

Now at the herf and my first cigar here came from Brad's private stash. Wasn't that well taken care of but it is still taste great. The bloody mary is really nice too.

By the way that's an Oval from 2012.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210522/76befd62cbfcfb0e64882bbb88839f94.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210522/edb39c5ce35fb7004256887d2f17b619.jpg)

I brought stuff but Brad is insisting I smoke his. Therefore, the latter.

Each can poured into 6 glasses. It was basically a tasting. Great time was had by all. I needed that.
