I hear the I don't like IPA's a lot. and I get it, it's the hop thing, Ive discovered, that by adding less hops at the begininning( for bitterness) and more late in the boil or at flame out ( steep for 10 minuets) or dry, it changes peoples opinion on IPA's...
that said, hard to beat a good ale or larger..

I was at my grand daughters 16th birthday over the weekend ( and yes we social distanced and wore masks, her Dad is a doctor) and brought a variety ( for the Adults) of home brew, My witbeir and brown ale as well as the oatmeal stout were the big hit.. the black IPA ( which I love) not so much (all the more for me).. some one brought some summer shandy.. and asked if I could make it...well.. I found a few recipes and using that as a base I'm going to add my own twist and brew one up this weekend..
I'm not a big fan of fruity beer but the challenge was thrown down!

A good run is better than a bad stand!
