RU OK

It's a  hangover from the DIPA piss he was drinking.

A DIPA or Double India Pale Ale is a stronger version of an IPA.

The “Hairy Troll” (and how appropriate that name turned out to be, just look in Food and “Health and Welfare” threads dated yesterday) rye abv.

An IPA is a very hoppy, bitter beer: hops are antibacterial and in the prePasteur days of the early 1800s lots of hops allowed beer to be shipped in sailing ships from England to India (Goa) as well as to Australia, the US etc. Mind you—lots was still found spoiled on arrival in Goa.

Now the rye. Rye, especially the unmalted flaked rye but also malted rye to a lesser extent puts a heap of pepperiness in a beer.

The Rye DIPA was a delightful beer: bitter but with a very smooth bitterness then the pepperiness as well, really well blended flavors.

Tasmania, home of amazingly good craft brews!
