RE: #BeerSaturday 332 - IPA Fun Box ver. 7!

SMaSH IPA is defiantly a thing. it stands for Single Malt and Single Hop, it is a beer made with a single hop and a single malt rather than what usually occurs which is a mixture of different hops and malts. It's normally used if you are trying to highlight a particular HOP variety, relatively rare and not something you would generally market but it exists, so I would give them a pass on that. I can't give them a pass for the apostrophe in the sentence 'Six Foolishly good IPA's' It's a plural not a possessive (How does this shit get past the printer), and the internet history well that's dumb too. But maybe that's the thing, maybe as Refined Fools they a deliberately making mistakes, and creating a parody of beer names - but I'm likely giving them too much credit.

Sort:  

Refined fools is their name afterall......hmmmm!

I have seen a bunch of single malt single hop brews and never seen them called that. Thanks for letting me know and that does make sense too.
