It's a marketing term for an unfiltered IPA. You'll find a lot of IPAs are unfiltered anyway, but the connotation is that 'hazy IPAs' are 'juicy'. You should see the sludge the pours from a brite tank when it's spun out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to check if there's sugar in it because it tasted very sweet. They wouldn't do that well at least they wouldn't add any further sweeteners, it's just sugars broken down from the malt, so they brewers have used a specific yeast and malt combo to yield a sweeter taste without increasing the ABV too high. Some sugars (typically not refined) cane sugar are added to beers but they have a specific job or increasing the alcohol percentage or priming a homebrew. For instance when I have home brewed I drop a little tablet of dextrose into the bottle before filling. Brewers will usually brag if they are using a specific sugar like 'lactose' (milk sugar) or brown sugar. Remember guys, I work in a brewery, I could have inside knowledge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reinheitsgebot like Oktoberfest is unfortunately a tool that the established breweries use to strong arm any new kids on the block Shit not even all beers in Germany follow the Reinheitsgebot like the Gose for instance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't have my dad have a broader knowledge of beers than me. Na I was just curious. Will try it tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't be pedantic with me with history, you'll regret it. Before that Starsbourg was a part of France because it was annexed by Louis the 14th, over 100 years before Napoleon. Before that it was neither a part of the French Kingdom or the Holy Roman Empire, it was a free city, and before that it was 'free Imperial city' of the HRE. Their wasn't even a pan-Germanic identity then, or even nationalism as we know it today. Same with Plzn, how can it be ' Originally German' when 'German' didn't even exist when it was founded? Strasboug is an old Gaulic town which are neither French or German, they are a people that no longer exist. Plzn was founded by a Bohemian king, which a proto-Czech people, which are closer linguistically and culturally to west-Slavic people like Poles and Czechs than Central European Germanics.

The Bohemian king was 1 of 7 Kurfürsten, who voted the German king., you couldn't be more an integral part of the elite of the Holy Roman Empire.

The HRE wasn't German, and neither was he. It just existed where modern day Germany exists. Next you'll tell me that the Romans were Italian. They have no more in common with modern day Germany than Norman Sicily has with Sicilians. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since the end of the 14th ventury the official name of the HRE was Sacrum Imperium Romanum Nationis Germaniae, english translation Holy Roman Empire of German nation. So they claimed to be of German nation, which is enough for me to call them German. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Applying modern ethnic identities and language on peoples from hundreds of years in the past is a fundamental misunderstanding of how people and history works.

Great Britain's inhabitants 300 years ago had a significantely other ethnic compsition, slightely another language and most likely another set of values they rated than today's - they were Britons nonetheless, though.

Three hundred years ago is when modern ideas of nationalism began to exist. You chose exactly the wrong years to make that claim, if you had said 500 years ago I'd agree with you but for example, French, German, British, national identities were born developed about three hundred years ago during the early and mid 1800s. Nationalism began to first appear and it's these ideals of nationalism that strongly influence the cultural identities of today. EDIT: I'm pretty drunk and couldn't do the maths for 300 years. I'm wrong, it was more like 200-150 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We found something we can agree on, don't know about the British, still at least for the rise of German nationalism the napoleonic wars were a massive catalyst.

I'd say up until recently there really hasn't been a 'British' identity, sure a bunch of different cultures with similarities but it's a very nuanced thing. Some Scots for instance may say they are 'British' and some may make a very strong distinction that they are not and are only 'Scottish',, but I can't speak for anyone except for those that have explicitly told me. I'm sure it was the same in Germany with Bavarians, Swabians, Saxons, et al, I just wouldn't know how strongly people feel about it as, my culture of Australia is adjacent to British so I feel more implicit relation to them.
