        Modern NEIPAs do. Back when Dogfish Head was the only NE IPA in town, they were normal and drinkable.

        Living in Seattle, every other beer here is a friggin IPA. It’s gotten to a point that I think brewers are just hopping the hell out of their product to be lazy. There’s no subtlety anymore - it’s a bunch of tonsil-punching bitterness.

          At least they all swapped to “hazy” and “juicy” hops like citra and mosiac, so the IPAs taste like grapefruit now instead of pine tree sap like they used to.

            Honestly I’m sick to death of all the hazy IPAs around. They all taste the same, with a select few exceptions.

            Give me a good bitter piney ipa again ar just a solid helles or kolsch and I’m happy

            Oh, yeah… and then there’s that. I’m wildly allergic to mosaics! I didn’t known until moving to the PNW.

      I lived down the block from a neighborhood pub for 13+ years. When I moved in, I had a party and a friend came in from out of town. He convinced me to go to the pub because “there’s ALWAYS a fight at neighborhood pubs.”

      So we went. And indeed, two old guys started fighting and they kicked everyone out.

      A decade later, I was lamenting the closure of my favorite pizza place to a coworker during lockdown. She said she knew a GREAT place…her favorite pizza in the city…that neighborhood pub.

      I tried it and she was right. I never ordered pizza from anywhere else again.

        This scene inspired the best cocktail ever, the Jack Torrance:

        • 1 part Bourbon (or Jack Daniels)
        • 3 parts Advocaat
        • 2 dashes Aromatic Bitters
        • Shake with ice

            Reasonably easy to find in any of the major bottle shops in Australia.

            Don’t know how exy it would be in the states, with your whole egg thing happening 😅

                :D

                If you happen to find some, knock together a fluffy duck cocktail - oldschool but worth a try in my books.

                  Reminds me of the duck fart.

                  • 1 ounce Kahlua
                  • 1 ounce Baileys Irish Cream
                  • 1⁄2 ounce Crown Royal whiskey

                  Recommend going a touch heavier on the whiskey.

      We were in the Netherlands over the holidays. We couldn’t find advocaat to save our lives! Some people gave us a blank look like they’d never heard of it. Others said it was a grandma drink and they never get call for it. :(

        They sell it at every supermarket. If you ever visit again you may also want to try Tokkelroom. I prefer it to advocaat. It contains less alcohol and tastes creamier than advocaat (though the general taste is very similar).

        To those who are having trouble finding advocaat in their country, it’s very easy to make though. And the ingredients should be easy to get in most places. Here’s a recipe. :)
