Hoppy Beer

Greetings Gents:



I have been reading a lot on brewing and I saw an article in a brewing magazine (forgot the name) on "Hoppy Beers." I never really gathered what



1.) how hoppiness is measured, 2.) what the appeal is, and 3.) which brands are considered hoppy.

This is prolly a newbie question, but I had to throw it in the ring. ^_^



Thanks in advance for any light you can shed on this.

Well, I'm kinda confused. Did the article ANSWER these questions for you, or raise them? What newbie question are you asking? Not smacking you, just want to know.

The article was in Brew magazine and it was about cloning "hoppy beers," but it never explained what "hoppy" means. However, I googled it and just happened to find one of *your* articles explaining that "The most common type of hoppy beer is the India Pale Ale." Your article (

That article was in last months Brew Your Own magazine.

Oh, that's easy! Hoppy beers are beers that aren't sod! ;-)

No problem...your post reminded me I need to get that magazine back. There is also an article on adding a hop filter to your kegging system to add hops as you pour and I want to try it out.
