And you won\u2019t be surprised to learn I hate them. How could there be any middle ground? Maybe your tolerance for spiciness increases over time, but that has not been my personal experience. My wife has been trying for over twenty years, as did many girlfriends before that. And while I do, believe it or not, eat many more foods today than I did when I was a child and in the intervening years, many people are still shocked at how picky I am and usually chuckle at what I consider to be too spicy. C\u2019est la vie.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I can testify he is right about b) although I disagree, for the most part about a). If you judge chile beers based on Ed\u2019s Cave Creek Chili, an out of balance gimmick, then he is right. But we lived in New Mexico for 13 years, and one of the reasons we moved there is because we like chiles. A well-made green chile beer is not about bringing the heat; it is about the aroma or roasted chiles that hangs in the air on Albuquerque&#8217;s north Fourth Street during chile harvest.<\/p>\n<p>That is as pleasantly powerful as the my first beer memory is <a href=\"http:\/\/appellationbeer.com\/blog\/the-session-119-feeling-comfortable\/\">unpleasantly powerful<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Host Alec Latham has posted the roundup for The Session #119: Discomfort Beer.
