Paradigm Brewing – Tropical Precision (2026)

It is always wise to waft. Wave the air over the mug and the first notes that hit your nose are yeasty, but then the citrusy scent emerges; the first sip on the other hand conveys a champagne-like lightness and a strong hops flavor.

Like most American IPAs, this focuses on a thin and bitter flavor with the herblike qualities of the hops emerging as the dominant note, behind which is a malty beer with overtones of blackstrap molasses. A slight vinegar flavor saturates this mixture.

Tropical-style beers emerged as IPA brewers found that they could capitalize on the grapefruit, lemon, pineapple, and citron flavors of these finely-tuned beers. In this case, the flavors meld into something more like a port wine take on a beer, perfect for the humid summer months.

    How much beer do you drink in a week and how do you counter all that bloat?

      Standing at 6’1 (tall for a woman, but who cares), I drink about 2 bottles of Cognac a week, that’s about 1000 calories per session (half a liter). I just burn the calories off by hiking in the grim frostbitten mountains of Norway, and avoiding carbs. Just protein and vegetables.

        …and avoiding carbs

        Except for the 1000 calories of carbohydrate from cognac, that is

      Fasting, high rep calisthenics, lifting twice a week minimum, daily rebounding and walking as much as possible. Right?

      1. Freya Helvig says:

        Too much at once, a few hours of mountain walking is enough for 1k cals.

        Lemmy Kilmister drank 1 liter of Jack a day (but barely ate), and was dumb enough to mix it with sugared coke, which got him diabetes. How he made it to age 70 is anyone’s guess, but living too much is overrated anyway.

        Jeff Hanneman went earlier, and his bandmates eerily said “he always had a beer in his hand… always”. Whatever that means, it sounds badass, plus he played a ton of videogames. Playing with a buzz is The Life.

          Indeed we all have different needs for exercise. I work out a lot and play drums at least a couple hours a day bare minimum and my job is grueling. But even after a day of all that I still need to fuck my girlfriend and smoke a bunch of weed to actually just stop doing shit.

          I don’t often play video games but I got myself a ps4 briefly earlier this year and really enjoyed the last of us. Both actually, I thought the first had a better story but the second improved on everything else. Was very disappointed with the remake of resident evil 4 though. And then I sold it when I found myself actually trying to level up or whatever in battlefield 1. I’ll stick to my n64 emulator once in a blue moon. Until I can afford a ps5 then it’s on

    Brett, if you‘re into darker, porter like beers I‘d recommend you trying Schneider‘s Weisse Aventinus. Incredible brew

    1. Flying Kites says:

      I have had the eisbock from Schneider-Weisse, and like two years past its sale date. I think I had an allergic reaction to the yeast but I’d definitely try it again, maybe not drinking eight of them in succession, but they were sold at a dollar a piece. Won’t be finding that again.

      1. Katharinas Bortgang says:

        8? How hammered were you? Eisbock is above 10% vol. for sure

  3. Shitbifter says:

    What does this have to do with death metal?

  4. Hessian Murderer of Black Death says:

    This sounds tasty, but where can this beer actually be bought?
    In person or mail ordered

  5. Hessian Murderer of Black Death says:

    They don’t seem to ship. Rip
