Nah, it is not going to happen. I am not going to buy an Underwood Student typewriter even if it is a rare thing. I did drive up to Ace Typewriter to look at it again. Perhaps he will have an Underwood more to my liking. One with tabs, a right margin, and those things that are not needed but sure are nice.
IPA
IPA stands for India Pale Ale. It was developed for export from England to, I bet you figured this one out, to India. Mostly for the men who were stationed there. What separated IPAs from Pale Ale was, mostly, hop bitterness. This protected the ales from spoiling during the shipping. It did not hurt that it was developed in a region with lots of hop fields. American IPAs tend to be even more hopped than the original ales. That trend was led by “brutal Bitter“ developed by John Maier of Rogue Ales. At first taste, it was way too bitter. Give consumers a chance to adapt to its flavor profile and the growth of bitterness grew. Since that time the tastes for hop teas mellowed and we still drink IPAs in copious amounts. One thing is certain, one will never complain about IPAs being too sweet. Or even sweet at all.
This talk has worked up a thirst. I have a bottle of Dark Mild from Machine House Brewery. We will see how it is.
