The "acquired taste" or bitterness of an IPA (India Pale Ale) comes from hops, whose bitterness is used to counter the sweetness of the malt, and also functions as a natural preservative. Unlike a typical pale ale, an IPA uses a greater amount of hops, thus the bitter taste. Legend has -I'm not a historian- the IPA was created out of necessity during the 18th century, when England was all over Asia minor/India, saying "Hello" to the people already living there. The English in India wanted their beer, and one of the ways beer would survive the long trek by ship to India was by brewing a pale ale with more hops. Whether this is actually the case, I don't know, but it's what I've heard. Plenty of folks just like a pint of bitter.
Heh, as soon as Dan mentions there being a note in the last box, my immediate thought was "Nope, there WAS a note in there, now there's just paper insulation." Good stuff.
nah jeff pretty much nails it, americans are so used to shitty pisswater that now they're overcompensating and conflating 'bitterness on par with a badger's asshole' with 'tasting good'
***** Nothing worse then a watery beer. And no I don't mean you should drink the darkest most bitter beer out there but there is plenty of happy mediums.
Dan's beard is not bad. I don't get you guys. If I was the beard-wearing type I would wish I could grow something comparable. Dan is just a beard person, he looks more put-together this way. So long as it doesn't get hobo length.
Dan is looking very amish nowadays.
Also please don't give Dan a knife anymore
9:09 Jeff nails it.
thanks boys, a number of chuckles to be had
Dan looks like he's growing an afro where his beard should be.

Jeff, don't put the Scorpion 2 where it belongs, that'll get you arrested.

Stone makes the best IPA. Hands down.
Dan looks like a god damned hipster
lol so many episodes start with the knife drawer
Even watching this via RUclips, Dans knife handling skills make me nervous.
I live in napa and go to napa smith all the time! Guess they're fans of giant bomb too... small world
Dan pretty much looks the way he sounds now.... Great job on the beard...
Is Jeff rocking a Mishka shirt? Rad.
Holy Dan's beard Batman
Waiting for the day that one of these mailbag videos ends with a horrific knife accident.
If the knife has blood grooves on it, at least it wont make a big mess
They hardly ever cut away from their body.
Eric Smith But the twist will be that they have worn body armor all this time...
Yeah... "accident"
Oh jeez Dan really doesn't get water politics at all.
How do they work in such a messy space?
Shout out to Streetwear Jeff lol
The lack of beer knowledge in that office is shocking.
nah jeff pretty much nails it, americans are so used to shitty pisswater that now they're overcompensating and conflating 'bitterness on par with a badger's asshole' with 'tasting good'
lack of knowledge is never surprising when dan's around

I can't recommend that you give any sharp objects to Dan.
I would recommend a razor, but otherwise I agree with you
Giant Bomb Unplugged: California Water Crisis

In coming to the conclusion that you are required to have facial hair to work at giantbomb.
Uh did someone give Jeff a black eye?

Dan needs to shave that rat off his face.
Dans beard looks weirdly fake or something.
Dan's complete lack of knowledge about any Bay Area geography astounds me.
