Karl Strauss
lick-a-plate
San Diego just wrapped up it's 1st annual beer week and it was a huge
success! I just posted in my blog about a Karl Strauss beer dinner
that we had - amazing! I'm very into craft beer and food pairings
right now and this did not let me down. The greatest surprise was the
dessert. Who knew that beer could be paired with a dessert!

delicious!

What's with the double-IPA fad these days anyway?! It seems like every
time someone gets a new beer in around here, it's a double-IPA....
I don't like them 'cause I _like_ the taste of a good IPA, but with a
double-IPA, can only drink half the beer for a given amount of
inebriation.

The double, triple, imperials...are a sign of the times. Its just been
this line that keeps pushing forward. All things do change however.
Session Ales are making a comeback. Thats lower alcohol beers that you
dont mind filling your pint a few times over a session. For now though,
I encourage you to ride the wave while its still here.

Abstainer, n. A weak person who yields to the temptation of denying himself a
pleasure. A total abstainer is one who abstains from everything but
abstention, and especially from inactivity in the affairs of others.

On the other hand, think of it as a more intense pleasure.
What would you rather do, eat a whole box of Hostess Ho-de-doh's,
or a small portion of Death By Chocolate? A loaf of Wonder Bread
with mayo or one nice thick piece of fresh-baked whole-grain
bread with freshly churned butter?

High alcohol seems to have no correlation with intense or stronger
flavor though; many of these high-alcohol beers actually taste _worse_
than their more modest brethren.

Oooops. Well-known fact that alcohol is a taste carrier... One of the
multiple problems with nablabs...
