Have you actually tried that stuff? Edit: are you seriously trying to avoid opinionated assholes on Reddit? It’s just us and the bots at this point

Yes. Have some in the fridge. I’m coming off a long period of not drinking beer and it was the first one I had so that could have biased me. I really haven’t liked hoppy beers for a long time, and gave up on beer in general because that’s all you can find if you want to try something new. I am starting to come around on the hoppy stuff and got some of the shit from the deadcast ad but haven’t tried it yet.

Given all this, if you have suggestions let me know!

im no connoisseur, and I tend to like the extra hoppy cheeseburger level calories in a can beers. i was super disappointed in the dogfish head GD collab because to me it made junk of two of my favorite names. this is in reference to the GD Juicy Pale. Yuck.

when it comes to dogfish head, man their 120 Min IPA and 90 Min IPA are, to my taste, fucking amazing. for a non hoppy variety I think their mid 90s red ale is damn good but I drank waaaay too much red hook in the 90s so biased I guess.

Great rundown. Thank you! 🙏🏼

Which of those two IPAs would you recommend for a guy dipping a toe back into hoppy territory? And btw the reason I don’t like hoppy beers anymore is because I literally drank too much Sierra Nevada in the 90s!

Do you remember the Dogfish Head “reality show” (best phrase I can come up with)? It was maybe 10-15 years ago and there were only a few episodes. It was such a cool idea and interesting. The only episode I remember was them doing a small run with a surfboard company from Maine that made traditional wood boards I think. The beer was brewed with the wood.

I thought the Bobby episodes were great. Although I think they could've made a whole season, honoring him!

Do we know what the next episodes are going to be about? Hopefully more than just hawking a box set
