Okay, I lied. Here it is Monday and I have a few links for you before heading off to find some music, finishing with Piano Night here in New Orleans (lineup at the end). One reason for the unplanned post is that Ding has assembled the roundup for The Session #146<\/a>. The other is these first two, because in another two weeks these so-called styles may already be resting beside Brut IPA.<\/p>\n

Savoury IPA.<\/a><\/strong> In all fairness, Matt Curtis acknowledges that things did not go well for Brut IPA, and he questions the need for Cold IPA. In supporting the idea of using MSG in a beer, he writes, “Perhaps savoury isn\u2019t the right word here. There are other, better, words I would use to describe this beer such as \u2018bright\u2019, \u2018luminous\u2019, or perhaps my favourite of all \u2018resonant\u2019. But \u2018Resonant IPA\u2019 doesn\u2019t sound like a style that will trend well amongst the LinkedIn marketing set. Savoury though, that\u2019s tangible and, most importantly, communicable.” <\/p>\n

Northern IPA.<\/strong><\/a> Apparently Northern IPA was a subject of discussion on Bluesky and at Facebook while I was busy listening to music. Jeff Alworth found it a “real balm to the soul in these trying times. Beer, the liquid itself and the drinking of it, should be fun. Silly, even.”<\/p>\n

RANDOM OBSERVATION NO. 1<\/strong><\/p>\n

“I’ve drunk good and bad cask beer from both independent and multinational breweries. I’ve also worked at small and large breweries. The multinationals are undoubtedly evil but then again some of the biggest cunts<\/del> most awful people I’ve ever met have been running small breweries. Let us remain true to the core beliefs of our faith and venerate all beer that is pleasing to god.”<\/p>\n

From Ed Wray in Why should I care if a brewery is independent?<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

RANDOM OBSERVATION NO. 2<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"Signing\"<\/p>\n

This is not Shemekia Copeland. This is one of two signers who worked in rotation, because it was taking some work Thursday to keep up with the singer in the Blues Tent at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This is Shemekia Copeland, fronting a totally tight band, with blues legend B.B. King and New Orleans legend Allen Toussaint looking down from above.<\/p>\n

I would argue they are both authentic in their own way. Something to consider when reading this<\/a>.<\/p>\n
