Good lord. Now Sam Adams is making Heady Topper. Fuck me. The beginning of the end.
Halfway through a 120 Minute and I died fucking laughing at this. Good job sir.
Why is it the beginning of the end? They can probably do it just as well (if not better) and it will be more widely available.
Of course, to some people, the ‘widely available’ part of it probably IS the problem. LOL
Both brewers were knowledgeable and gracious, giving credit to others in
the industry. They were also forthcoming. Koch in particular has a
problem with hob-bombs, the big, boozy, 100-plus IBU beers that have
been en vogue in recent years. I asked Koch what he thought of the
Alchemist’s Heady Topper and other massive IPAs. In a part of the
interview that didn’t make the paper, Koch said, “They’re big IPAs.
There’s 100 of them. Are they new or interesting? Not really. I mean
they’re good, but there’s nothing I’m going to learn from tasting that.
There’s not a huge set of skills to make an 80-IBU beer.”
