re: #113 dog philosopher

hops or other extra flavorings are not required to make good beer - hefeweizen and most belgian ales are made with no hops or very low levels of hops

personally, i prefer beer without hops. it seems beer has been made for over 10 thousand years, but the habit of flavoring it with hops seems to have started in germany abt 500 years ago

And on the opposite end of the spectrum, I took the husband to Lagunitas Taproom this weekend.
