I have been sampling a few bottles of IPA recently. All seem to be OK, some more hoppy than others. The Goose IPA is brewed in the USA and imported into the UK.

Nice collection. IPA seems to be a popular brew in what has been a quickly expanding small scale brewery epidemic in the US that has probably been quashed to some extent by the pandemic. I can only take so much IPA. The strong hops flavor in IPA seems to be an acquired taste....like licorice is in candy.

I like liquorice. I used to have Pontefract Cakes sometimes when I was young but usually have Liquorice Allsorts these days. I usually get a big tub of Allsorts for Christmas and my birthday.

Wonder why there is a difference in spelling licorice?
Liquorice (British English) or licorice (American English)
I did a google of pronunciation. It seems the preferred American pronunciation sounds like two syllables. Like "lick" "rish". the British sound more like three syllables "lick" "or" "ish".

I think the southern US pronunciation is more like the British version. :loco:

I pronounce it the three syllable way.

I don't like IPA or any wheat beer, they make my taste buds cringe.... :mrgreen:
And I do like black licorice. Yes, it seems the Brits like to add an extra letter 'u' in many
of their words, and Canada-ites (and down-underers) do the same...... :D
