Who in the world is using Fuggles for an IPA?

We're actually dry hopping our ipa today with fuggles into cask. Although we specialize in British style cask ales so we use fuggles quite a bit and this recipe is probably our most popular.
Spoiler: I'm not a big fan of this beer. And I only have 3 more days left here before starting at Alvarado St.

I've used fuggles as a "bittering" hop for English Barleywines before. I just can't imagine getting much of anything out of them as a dry hop.

Yeah, was just discussing this. Eggfruit is weird, can't see this being very good.

What the **** is "eggfruit"?

What the **** is "eggfruit"?

Kinda tastes like Circus Peanuts, it's really sweet and has a weird creaminess to it. It's called eggfruit cause the texture is like a hard-boiled egg.

I'd love to know how they even come up with something like this. Does CCB sit around French-pressing weird ingredients in various ratios with Marshall Zhukov?

Just because you can make something doesn't mean you should.

Gross.

The aroma of this unique Stout recalls a well built New York-style egg cream with chocolate, malted milk and egg custard vying for attention.

How can you not want this??

I'd like to formally petition Gene and the mods to rename this topic to "Your Daily Reminder That Your Beer Hobby is ******* Weird"

More and more I'm wanting to be like "Craft beer? Never heard of it."

Nice work, CCB. There's no egg in an egg cream, ya *****.

Also, **** circus peanuts. Gross, unless you like the taste of chalk. I'm not picky about much but I have to draw the line somewhere.

Cat piss beer > this, perhaps

Insects and birds avoid the fruit flesh, perhaps because of its astringent properties

Bugs won't even touch this ****. Let's put it in a beer!!

I'd try it. I though fresh durian was disgusting, but **** it, I love trying things.

Plenty of results on Untappd, including a Bruery version: https://untappd.com/search?q=durian

Added some fresh to a BT last year for a BT vertical, would not recommend.

Not gonna lie, I would drink the **** out of that but can't help but wonder...

Don't be an enabler!

If it's any consolation, I have no interest in milkshake IPAs.

Born in Florida, theoretical physicist John Archibald Wheeler proposed the notion of “digital dissolution”, a concept of digital physics inexorably connected to fundamental questions of the nature of time and existence. Born in California, Bottle Logic Brewing tackles questions of the nature of time and existence by following their thirst of knowledge and beer.

Too much BT and durian on hand. Also, BT vertical, why not became the better question pretty quickly into the evening.

You ask why. Pittsburgh brewers ask why not.

am I the only one who likes simcoe?

*******

What was that FFF beer with Simcoe.... I think they only made it once, but it was surprisingly well executed and not in one of their usual wheelhouse styles.

Don't get me wrong, the BPT price is fantastic. But it's the subsequent price that shall make folks squeal.
