California, Missouri?

Sooo...you guys are aware that both Pelican Brewery and Ninkasi are in Oregon, right?

Correct title for this weeks show:
We review some IPA's from California and Missouri, but mostly Oregon!

It's all the same to us

It's all the same to us ignorant fly over staters. Thanks for the comment, I must of had a brain fart when making the description.

Mythological background

Just thought I'd point to a couple of Zythophile's excellent posts ... 'cause it's interesting and possibly germane to the show and the myth of the IPA origin.
IPA - Incredibly Poor Article and Myth: George Hodgson's IPA

Hops to beer what grapes are to wine?

I beg to differ with one of your comments that "you can't make beer without hops".
Beer can and is made without hops....although not popular in the U.S.
Remember the Heather ales and other Gruets. Other herbs such as heather both preserve the beer as well as flavor it.
One of you said, "hops are a spice" I think you hit it.
My humble 2 cents.
Thanks for the shows, You keep me company at work, and help plan my shopping list!
