India Pale Ale

India Pale Ale is a distinct style of beer and is characterized as a sparkling pale ale with a slightly higher level of alcohol and hops than a typical Pale Ale; the hops lending it a distinct bitterness.

The creation of India Pale Ale during the 18th century was the result of tremendous, efforts by British brewers to overcome a difficult problem: shipping to the British colony of India resulted in the arrival of flat, sour beer. Before refrigeration and pasteurization, the brewer's only weapons against spoilage were alcohol and hops. Alcohol and hops provide an unfriendly environment for microbes, preventing the growth of the bacteria that cause sourness. Therefore, high alcohol content and high hopping rates could protect beer from the souring associated with long storage times.

paleo-fecalpheliac

someone who is straight up into Dino poo. the paleo-fecalpheliac fantasizes about dinosaurs and various other prehistoric creatures dropping a load of prehistoric feces directly onto their face, chest, and body. the paleo-fecalpheliac is different from your standard fecalpheliac in that, rather than scoping out the scene above ground, they must venture deep below the earths surface for the feces they desire. paleontology is a common career path of the paleo-fecalpheliac, where they and their peers can be known to spend entire lifetimes uncovering the sweet poo that lay dormant deep in the soil of our plant Earth. paleo-fecalpheliacs' interest in prehistoric feces is harmless to the average homosapien because the feces of the living is too fresh, soft, potent, and recent to be considered of any value to the paleo-fecalpheliac.
