You're pronouncing it correctly, of course. It is a little overrated. Still great, but there are a lot of great ales out there.

I'm not usually a beer drinker, but if it's available I'll drink Hanalei Island IPA. I love POG.

Gruit, a medieval ale made with a variety of botanicals in lieu of today’s favored bittering ingredient.
Although small, the worldwide movement to bring more attention to Gruit has gained steam, and will be recognized for the sixth straight year with International Gruit Day on February 1. Started by Beau’s in 2013, the celebration of this historical style has expanded from five participating breweries in three countries to more than 60 breweries from nine countries in 2018. At events and beer releases from Australia to South Africa, attendees will be able to try creative recipes like Lamb’s Wool, an apple and spice Gruit from Beau’s made with yarrow, cinnamon, cloves, and unfiltered apple juice, or Earthbound’s Lavender Chicory Gruit, one of its original recipes.
Gruits offer a very different and creative way to understand and experience beer,” says Beauchesne, adding that about 5 percent of the brewery’s production is dedicated to the style. “We have a Gruit Series through which we release three Gruits per year—some fan favorites come back, and sometimes they are new recipes. The idea goes back to about 10 years ago, when [Beau’s] wanted to make a beer that riffed off a 10,000-year-old peat bog close to our brewery, and ended up discovering bog myrtle as a beer ingredient.”

(Dropkick Murphys) members Tim Brennan (guitar), Ken Casey (bass), and Matt Kelly (drums) recently made the trip to Magic Hat’s Burlington, Vt., brewery to sample some brews and come up with a recipe for their own collaboration. They settled on Barroom Hero Pub Ale, a lower ABV (4.2 percent) English-style beer, which was released earlier this month.

Bartender! Michelobe Ultra Lite please! - Got anything non-alcoholic? Is it ok to smoke in here? Anyone got a cigarette? It's been a tough day and I feel like sinning.

Ok. It's all good now. I wanted to have a cold one and a smoke to vent my frustrations, but that hasn't happened. Taking into consideration I haven't smoke or drank in.....about a year now? Probably did me a big favor.
Thanks bartender.
No tip for you.

I'm a long-time beer drinker and homebrewer.
Here in Ohio it's maple season. I just made a seasonal Scotch Ale using maple tree sap instead of the water and added maple syrup to the fermenter as well as the keg. It should be ready to try in a few more days . . . Very small amount of hops, I'm hoping the malt and the maple should compliment each other well.

As you like your Other Half beers, there was a collaboration with Barrier called Secure the Bag which I enjoyed for lunch yesterday.

Don't Gose Towards the Light
TO OL Brewery
I'm usually not a fan of beers brewed with fruit, but this one is pretty tasty.
I have had To Øl before. Dangerously Close To Stupid!!!
Some fruit beers are tasty ... others not so much.

Coming soon.
I love me some Barleywines. Aged 21 months, that's got to be one pricey bottle. I'd want to try it though.
I'm not a sour or fruity fan either . . In general.
