i think i ruined my palate

[bufordsbest]

cliff note version:
- have drank way too many ipa's
- have developed a very high threshold for hop flavor and bitterness
- can only get my hop fix by drinking double ipa's and even those are starting to mellow out

what the hell can i do? i'm thinking of detoxing by drinking nothing but stouts and porters for a while.

suggestions?

I was about to start a thread about this.... IIPA doesn't seem blah to me yet but I've noticed I can't finish your run of the mill, pales, standard lagers, ambers... My beer has to be hopped up as fuck and a liberal dry hopping too... There's beer in my fridge I wanna drink but I know I'll end up not enjoying them... This sucks!

Start drinking a lot of stouts and porters until your palate resets

Ahh, keep drinking the very very hoppy stuff. A stout now and then is fine, but if you abandon the hoppy beers then you surrender your manhood. Keep drinking and brewing very hoppy ales, and never give up.

i feel like cosmo kramer in the mackinaw peach episode. "i got no taste!!!!"

I feel the same way some times. I figure if I keep it up & keep getting bored with commercial offerings I'll just start brewing my own Penta-IPA. That's right, 5x. I'll be happy when I hit the 500 IBU bench. I think the Dan was on to something when he did that big press release last week.

I'll take the recipe for the pentaIPA when you perfect it... BTW anybody had the Hop Henge?
