Originally posted by ElanUsed to love draft Hales Pale Ale about 15 years ago. Then I bought some bottled, and it wasn't very good. Now it's mostly Sierra Nevada Pale Ale (Sierra Nevada Brewing Co - Chico, Ca) and/or Mirror Pond Pale Ale (Deschutes Brewery - Bend, Or) for me.
Both of the labels you mention, Sierra Nevada and Deschutes, have good turnover if you get them from an outlet that does reasonable volume. I often buy both of those brands from Rite-Aid. The Rite-Aid store nearest me has a decent selection of microbrews with something good almost always on sale for $10.99. Often it's Descutes, sometimes Sierra Nevada or Alaskan Amber, Pyramid, or RedHook.
The other day I bought a six of Pike Pub Kilt Lifter from QFC, a scotch ale that is one of my favorites. Cost me $8.99 even with my QFC card, though, and when I stocked it in the refrigerator I couldn't help but think if I had gone to QFC I would have had as much still in reserve in the pantry.
Good Scotch ales and ambers are my favorites, as they provide what for me is the best blend of malt and hops. Maybe I'm particular, but I think that must be one of the trickiest to brew, as I find very few Scotch and ambers ales that hit the right note.
I tried an IPA the other day at the local Rock Bottom that I thought really missed the mark. They described it as having strong floral notes, and that certainly was true. I think the brewmaster was trying to make something as wildly hoppy as he could do. But being unique is not the same as being good.
True skill with comestibles involves managing subtlety. That IPA was anything but subtle.“Maybe you shouldn't dress like that.”

Thanks for not making me look dumb....

No. 14, in particular, is particularly questionable, and might even be completely false. Vodka is an aqueous solution, and urushiol oil is hydrophobic. So you can't mobilize the urushiol off the skin without a surfactant present. It's totally like removing grease from a plate. Water alone won't do it, but add soap (a surfactant) and the grease will be removed......
Thank you!! I almost ran back to tell DH about Voka and (in our area) poison oak....oops...and I have a degree in Biochemistry (many years ago, and I only really worked in a lab in college). Thank you, in the back of my head I was thinking alcohol...oils...how???
Love the list. Lots of fun. And I do wonder about the red wine one...
