b'IPA day is August 4th 2011. take your dumbass friends to the pub to celebrate this specific beer style. or if they just can\'t take the big boldness of IPA order them something else tasty.\\n\\nthere are a few things that continuously bug us about IPA.\\n\\n1) none of it is going to India. so there\'s no reason to call it this anymore.\\n2) if you look up the recipe for IPA from the books publish 150 years ago you will find something not that much more then the Pale ale of the time.\\n3) these beers were aged in barrels of unknown conditions for at least 120 before they were consumed. this is very different from the out of the fermenter and into the serving tank in 14 days repeat that the local breweries have to maintain.\\n4) lots of people order IPA because it\'s the simplest thing to order on the beer list. having clever names doesn\'t help the knob buying beer.\\n5) or they are ordering the beer because its the highest ABV on the list. they aren\'t drinking it for the hops, balance or aroma. it might as well be Colt 45.\\n\\nbeer on the show:\\nPliney the Elder from Russian River\\nIPA from Bison Brewing\\n\\ncall the Beer School Robot!\\n424-242-3375\\n\\nBeer School everywhere:\\nhttp://www.facebook.com/beerschool\\nhttp://youtube.com/beerschool\\n\\nFollow JohnFoster and BeerSchool on Twitter.com\\n\\nBe sure to visit City Beer Store, 21st Amendment, and Toronado in San Francisco, CA\\nEmail us at info@beerschool.com\\n\\nGood noon!
