I am having good luck finding balanced IPAs.  When I ask for them, the bar tender nods and gives me 2-3 choices usually which are fine.

Yup, it can be done.

The relatively recent trend of "hazy IPAs" or "juicy IPAs" or "New England IPAs" are considerably less bitter than their West Coast counterparts, and I've found several of them to be enjoyable.

They're still not ever going to be my go-to beers, though.

We were in Asheville at two different places that had a decent tap lineup, and I got decent IPAs at both.  Sometimes they include the bitterness rating on the menu.

That helps.

Long ago and far away, there was a beer named Heineken.  It was said to represent the very best of Europe, and only the most sophisticated of American pallets could truly appreciate its wonderfulness.

I thought it stunk and tasted terrible.

Was (is?) Heineken stinky beer because it was (is?) overhopped, or for some other reason?

It comes in green, not brown bottles, and is shipped, and sunlight is the nemesis of beer, as is heat.  Beer bottles are usually brown for good reason.

A really nice longform article on Live Oak Brewing here in Austin, from the folks at GoodBeerHunting.

utee have you ever considered brewing your own beer

there are brewing supply stores all over

I got into it at about $100 but today it might be twice that amount

I dont do it anymore but back in the day I could bottle several cases at about 25 cents a beer

today cost would be somewhat higher

anyway it was a lot of fun

Yeah I started home-brewing with Bald Greg in the mid 90s, like about a billion other people.  I enjoyed it, but it's a lot of work.  And the most important part of the job is also the most tedious and boring-- cleaning and sterilizing everything.  That was about the time I met and became friends with Chip at Live Oak, and I could just go to his brewery and drink all kinds of great beer, for free, without all the work. 

Every now and then I think about getting back into it.  I sold off all my equipment a couple decades ago, but maybe someday.

If I ever did, my first beer would undoubtedly be a Černé Czech Black Lager .

I've had a couple 6-packs of various Oktoberfest beers in the fridge for the past several weeks, and a few nights ago it dipped down to 69, so I took that as a sign to crack one open. :)

Sad day about 3 weeks ago my local corner market closed after being in business since '77. Fetched me all sorts of fine suds.He procured for me Sprechers Black Bavarian Lager from Milwaulkee.I hear they know a thing or two of zymurgy up there. If you are are having problems with fridge content I've been known to make cameos. No sense sending FF
