I see what you did there. Tongue

I like Lagunitas because they are popular enough now that I can get a sixer at Publix. It is a fantastic commercially available IPA (not the Palate Wrecker, that's Cthulhu's hop-bomb.)
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

Leaves more IBUs for me!

Don't get me wrong, I love a big hoppy beer - but not so much so that the hops are all that you can taste.

90-100 IBUs in a 7-8% ABV beer is just... wrong. In a 10-14% ABV beer that's got the flavor profile to balance out all that hops - awesome.

Dammit Cthu! And here I thought I was getting all the hops.

Ha - hardly. Now, I loves me a low-IBU malty ale, but grab a Stone Old Guardian some time and find out what you IPA-loving hippies have been missing out on. Twenty-two ounces of 85 IBU goodness at 12% ABV.

Nothing, but I was looking at the Tom Collins wiki. Looks good!
