    Fun fact: IPA stands for Indian Pale Ale. They were called that because they were shipped from England to India during the ole’ days (1800s). The purpose was to preserve the beer via it’s long journey to India. They would mellow out during the trip.

    Eventually some idiots locally decided the massively hoppy beer tasted good, so it became popular in England as well, but sold as “Pale Ales”. I’ll argue it was never meant for human consumption.

    There ARE craft beers that incorporate less hops and I hate that craft beer is now synonymous with hops or IPA. I hate heavy hops, but love hefeweizens, weiss, stouts, brown porters, Belgian dubble/tripels, lambics, wheats, bocks…



  • Um actually, in the US you can get fired for THC in your system for recreational use. Some states, even if it’s medical.

    Yes it’s bullshit, but that’s the problem with it not being federally legal and companies in multiple states. You will probably lose if you fight it, use of marijuana is not protected and your employer is protected from you arguing it is because firing you for this still falls under “at-will” termination.

    Only mentioning this to dispel the idea other folks will get away with this. You just got lucky it seems.
