Did you take my beer out of the river at Jacks?

That made me sad. Can you give me my green mesh bag back? 

The universe has ways of making this right. 

What kind of beer? And yes it matters...

Founders All Day IPA

A session IPA?

That’s like saying bouldering is climbing. 

As far as sessions go founders is pretty good

You forgot to offer a reward for its return. A couple of cold Founders All Day IPA beers would be appropriate.

Wasn't I. Session IPAs are for when you know you have to go to bed but you just want one more.

Alec the moment you walked away from your project beer, it became booty beer.

This is so sad.

Thanks Kelley and Greg! The last thing I want right before I hike out of that canyon in the afternoon sun (and make a 2 hour drive home) is some 9.5% IPA that tastes like a wine hybrid. It’s a perfect after-climb beverage.

Next time, I’ll just bring a cooler I guess.

Or bury them under rocks a bit better.

I thought we were men on here.

But did I deserve to have it stolen out of the river?!  I should be allowed to drink my middle-age yuppie beer in peace!

High ABV means higher BAC for less weight carried. Light and fast FTW!

Maybe it floated away

Thanks.  I agree with that, too.  IPAs suck.  However, Founders is tolerable and most of their beer is pretty darn good.  Had it been Breakfast Stout, I  would have been the culprit.

I've got a 4 pack of their KBS I'm pretty excited to surprise my girlfriend with in the Gunks next weekend.  It is taking every ounce of self control for me not to drink that delicious elixir.

^^ this ^^

Session IPAs are perfect for the middle aged person who loves IPA but hates hangovers. (Me)

Some sessions are pretty bad though. Lagunitas and Stone come to mind.

Karl Strauss Mosaic session is good too.

Just to be clear, the “river” wasn’t running—I left it in a shallow pool that remained in the river bed from the prior weeks’ runoff.

Session IPAs are neither
