    It's an IPA, the label is odd but it probably just tastes like a normal pale ale

      An IPA at 6.6% sounds decent, imo. Would give it a go. Weird branding, tho.

        Breweries love gimmicks shrug-outta-hecks

        Honestly I'm happy the industry is moving away from super high ABV shit, it used to feel like every other beer in the liquor store was some Triple IPA or Imperial Stout that would get you fucked up after 2-3 beers. Getting fucked up off beer is stupid though cuz it also makes you all bloated, beer is for getting buzzed, get drunk off wine.

          What do you consider high ABV in this context? I find that the ABV is an important part of the flavor itself, and I tend to enjoy the ones that are 6-7%, or 12º if you're Czech.

            Anything over 7 I'd consider higher, over 9 REALLY high, for beer at least.

            4.5-6.5 is sorta my ideal zone, enough to get buzzed after a couple but not drunk drunk.

              Anything above 7ish is what I consider high. Anything above 10 is a gimmick made just to flex.

                Fyi I used to work in brewing and you have to do some weird ass shit to get above 10. Either you add sugar or you mix running from multiple brews off to get really high gravity. The later wastes a lot of materials since you're essentially getting a fraction of the amount of beer you'd usually get from the same amount of barley and hops. So most companies just dump dextrose in the kettle to up the gravity.

                When I worked in the industry all the shit that sold well was the high ABV shit. I think there's people out there who are in denial that their alcoholics by saying "I just drink beer!" but they're crushing 9% shit, which is probably worse for you than just getting a bottle of vodka.

                  By gravity I assume you mean alcohol content... is this named after the measuring instrument I remember by dad using to control alcohol mixture when I was a kid? He ran a farm, and he used industrial 96% for some disinfectant stuff. I remember him pouring the mix into this test tube looking thing where this widget would sink further down the stronger the mix was.

                  Also, I drank a 20something% beer once. It was strong enough to not resemble the beer in taste, and insanely pricey. I remember it being very brown and very thick. Any idea what they most likely did to achieve this ABV?

                  As I also enjoy a whiskey now and then I am not fundamentally opposed to high alcohol content... but I prefer that my beer actually tastes like beer and not an IG Farben byproduct.

                    Nah gravity is the amount of sugar in wort before fermentation, which translates to higher ABV, but also higher gravities can also make the beer sweeter depending on the attenuation of the yeast.

          Yeah I like a high ABV when I'm just having one beer and the buzz lasts for a few hours but I don't drink so often nowadays and don't even like getting drunk. Not to mention my antidepressants. Shouldn't really drink at all.

            Fuckers who get drunk off beer could beat me in a drinking contest even if I swapped my beer out for water. It's obscene how much liquid they can physically contain inside their bodies. How? How??

      The brewery name is “academia brewing company”, beer name IQ. Idk, I think the whole thing is very fitting for their branding.

    Bringing up the fact that Pythagorean theorem doesn't work when one of the known values is √2. Pythagoras really didn't like this

      The Pythagorean relation ABSOLUTELY holds for a triangle whose legs are both 1 and whose hypotenuse is 2^(1/2). Pythagoras' cult simply didn't believe in irrational numbers, hence their trouble when the Pythagorean relation implied it. It is known there was even a proof at the time of the irrationality of the square root of two.

        More specifically, I don't know how advanced the details of mathematical philosphy were at the time. But a discussion point might be that just because irrational numbers are logically possible, doesn't mean they're "real" (in some sense). However, being constructible using basic geometric arguments (as a right angled isolese triangle is) would make arguing against their existence much more difficult.

      Pythagorean theorem works, I think you might be confusing this with the fact that the Pythagoreans rejected the notion of irrational numbers, but √2 is the length of the hypotoneuse of a right angle triangle where the other sides are unit length

    okay so i think i figured out : EVIL

    If a Person lifes by Passive Income (Rent / Interest) he really lifes Parasitic from the ACTIVE INCOME of somebody else ..

    So he has to somehow Justify that he llves Parasiticlly .. that he does not LABOUR , and therefore does not (as we know ) CREATE VALUE ..

    In reality the Clothes of the Landlord are not his! , his Tenant payed for it , his Tenant worked for it..

    How does one Justify that immense Patheticess to himself ?

    By Creating a Identity that is based around his "Deserving" of these Things , and his tennents NOT Deserving of these things.

    How does one does that ? There is literally nothing stopping your brain from hating those that demonstrate your own patheticness and the Tenent does that just by beeing tenent and working ! while the Landlord will does it as well , by beeing landlord and letting the Tennant work. He can simply not "Defie himself" as a Parasit ... so he will define all else as "non Equal" instead ! with him beeing better .. then he will try to find Musters in those "lesser Beeings" .. and from there .. well ... darkness and Bitterness..
