  • I mean, it could be. His old keyboard that’s downstairs does have the same stuff on it…

    He’s sort of that ‘adult child’ in that he’s not big on cleaning/maintaining his house and locks himself in his room all day, so I’m going more with the standard hand gunk/fingerjam.

    There’s layers of sticky oil splatter dried all over the range and microwave. (he doesn’t have good heat control) The floor only gets cleaned by his mom, and his dad has to help him weed the 5sqft of dirt in his backyard when they visit. There’s also a cockroach issue that he’s apathetic to. (I’ve pretty much stopped using the kitchen after cleaning up after him and am now looking elsewhere)

    I figured as much. Just wanted to give some suggestions if you ever were interested in going down that route again.

    Being less than couple hours from Napa Valley, I do definitely get the appeal of a good wine though. I, myself prefer them over beer in most cases too.

    The problem is, is the craft beer industry is obsessed with hops and the different varieties. Since IPAs are one of the most hopped beers, they took it and ran with it, all the while going down the rabbit hole of adding more and more hops. (akin to a child learning to cook by adding continually dumping in different spices to try to balance out the others) playing with the mixture of hop varieties. Most of them are also brewed to be drunk close to 0C which lightens its bitterness a bit. Though, fruit-infused and some hazy ones can sometimes have that bitterness work in their favor.

    The next time you are in the US and you are still curious, while not to common, look more towards the porter/stout side. The coffee ones tend to be really good along with the more niche bourbon-barrel aged stouts. Fruity wheat beers can be a hit-or-miss with some being hopped more than others, but there is a good portion which are really good; sour ales having the same issue. Craft lagers could be another, but are almost non-existent due to how it’s brewed.
