Commissar RIS was tapped on Monday, folks. It's god-damned tasty! :cheers2:



No wait, it's unbalanced! :rockin: :lol:

Greg ...what is balanced please? I never really understood that, or is it a subjective thing ...and I promise, I wasn't the anonymous poster.

Sure you weren't! :lol:

Balanced = drinkability to me. You have a beer, you find it pleasant. You want more. It's not too malty, not too hoppy, not too anythingy. Otherwise, it'd be out of balance, no? :lol:

Here I was thinking 'balanced' refers to the weight of the hops being equal to the weight of the other ingredients so you could balance them on a see-saw.
Brewing right now: whatever is going on tap at Stillwell in a few weeks.

Sounds like a perfectly good way to balance a beer.

I might even know a brewer of some notoriety who does his IPAs that way. ;)

Well folks, for those of you who didn't have the chance to drop in for the stunningly well-balanced Commissar RIS or the lovely Off the Hop IPA, you're too late!

Hart & Thistle is now permanently closed for business :cheers2:
