This has to be the busiest summer we've ever had - typically, Summer is the Off Season.  There was no off season this year, and these got pushed to the end of the month!  But I'm here under the wire, with a comic about one of the other projects that filled our time.

This summer had The Book, you know which one, and Clank! Legacy: Acquisitions Incorporated will be available at the show, a few copies anyhow, but in the middle of all that we put together a beer with local craft brewery Two Beers.  Their designer Dan and our own Dabe are essentially married now, they have a strong union, and I'll be shocked as hell if we don't collaborate again just because they both seemed so enriched by it.     

The weirdest thing about Gabe's palette is that I put legitimately world class beers in front of him all the time - and they taste too much like beer.  Which is obviously expected but definitely gonna be a problem because of how much beer is in beer - it's a lot.  Like, by volume.  But he loves the really funky, edge case beers like Saison (common tasting notes include words like Goaty and Horse Blanket, I'm not joking) and Sours, which are like Beers which have gone to the dark side moving them into a sharper, more wine like tartness.  Ultimately, I think he's good with tart, but not bitter.  And I can't stand tart, even though I've tried for years to develop this part of my taste, essentially by drinking things I hate over and over.  It's not working.

Even though a Hazy IPA is generally much less bitter than the Northwest's general slate of aggressive stunt beers, it's still in a place that he can't really access.  Which is fine.  Honestly, in real terms he has a much more sophisticated palette than I do, which is hilarious.  If you're in town for the show, Two Beers Tasting House "The Woods" south of downtown will have Signing Bonus on tap, and might even have a can or two because they saved some for people out of town.  I may be biased but I think it is better than his review.

Will the beer make it down to Portland, Belmont Station perhaps?

Has anyone pointed out that beers based on the Acq Inc characters are Intellectual Property Ales?

Jason

Okay, that last panel got me.

Also, I'm in the Mike camp. I REALLY wish I liked beer, but it always tastes to much like beer. Same with coffee. I'm locked out of two of the world's most popular beverages/lifestyles.

I'm with Mike on this, to a degree. The whole IPA bonanza that went on (still going on?) was all beyond my care for taste. I prefer a nice lager, but I am willing to try almost any beer once, but essentially wrote off anything labeled IPA because the first few I tried were just bad. However, please bring some PA beers to Philly! I'd love to try some of these creations we've seen on stream at Unplugged.

I prefer sours and other low bitterness beers. IPAs are way more common and to me they all taste the same as their flavor is dominated by bitter hops. A notable exception for me is Revolution's Anti-Hero. Give it a try if you are ever in the general vicinity of Chicago.

You know a lot of people think cilantro tastes like soap? I think I have the beer version of that. I can drink a tiny subset of beers but basically any beer where the description mentions hops tastes like soap to me. Like the glass wasn't rinsed correctly. It's not a bitterness thing, I drink an unhealthy volume of black coffee.
