It’s interesting. I’m not gonna say I’ll buy it again, but if someone offers me one. I’ll know it’s drinkable.
So there you have it. It’s drinkable.
I brought the bench from my old front porch to my new front porch.
There’s only one other door up here and no one above us. I kinda like the new front porch. It’ll do

Does it actually use any cannabis during the brewing process?
Some IPAs smell like a fresh bag of cannabis already so they could approach this from a traditional or a gimmicky way.

I’ve used one. It’s not bad. I just like the smoke. I know it’s not good for you, but I like to keep things simple.

Nah, it’s just the name of the brewery. They’re actually owned by Anheuser-Busch so I won’t touch any of their products.

I don't see any proof on the can that they use cannabis, but the first couple drinks tasted like fresh buds right off the plant. Flowery yet delicate

As far as I know, there are no commercially available products that contain both alcohol and cannabis in the U.S. due to federal regulations. As an example, you can go to the dispensary next door to the Lagunitas Brewing tap room and buy cannabis-infused brews, but they are alcohol-free.
The reason being that you can not legally sell alcohol in a marijuana dispensary and you can not legally sell marijuana in a grocery store/liquor store/convenience store.
However, the hop plant is related to cannabis. This is why you get the somewhat familiar hint of cannabis when you drink something like a west coast IPA, which uses loads of hops with high alpha acids. Now, I have known a few breweries to utilize hemp seeds in their brewing process to help support that flavor, but those will get you exactly as high as wearing a pair of shoes made of hemp. Which is to say, not at all.
Now, with all that said, it would theoretically be pretty straightforward to introduce cannabis to the brewing process. Probably easiest through a tincture of some sort. But you could in theory also de-carb some finely-ground bud and add it with some lactose powder to bind with in the final stage of your boil. However, that’s only best guess, as I really just know the beer side of the equation.

PBR > all other beer
It’s okay to disagree, but just know you’re wrong.

You sound like you certainly do know the brewing side of things! Very interesting read. I wish I liked IPAs, there’s so many that sound fantastic, but I’ve yet to find one I like.
the first commercially available cannabis and alcohol beverage that includes THC will be the new Four Loko, mark my words

You’re referring to the same PBR that’s brewed by MillerCoors, right?

i looked into it, it’s interesting what they do with oils and i think getting powdered thc would be the way to go. they powder cbd oil, maybe thc? only problem really is, it’d be really expensive beer. at least to have an effect of weed. you could make the wort and stems and leaves for flavor , actually i’d put the stems and leaves in after the boil in the whirlpool at 170° for about a half hour, and then like you said use a tincture in the keg. dank.

I’ve been brewing at home for about four years now, and have done a few basic instruction classes for friends and acquaintances that wanted to learn. I’m hardly an expert on the matter, but I’ve gotten the basics down pat enough to where I’ve been doing my own recipes from scratch for about two years (to mixed results, if I’m being honest). The process of brewing isn’t really difficult, and it’s something anyone can pick up and learn relatively easily. If you start with a pre-sorted kit, I’d say at le ast 90 % of it is all about keeping your equipment sterilized, and the rest is just following instructions.
As for IPA s, they just aren’t to some people’s taste, and that’s totally fine . I hate when people say you aren’t a real beer drinker if you don’t like a certain style of brew (for example, I do n’t drink smoked beers/Rauchbier. They taste like I’m drinking a bottle of liquid smoke ) . If it’s the bitterness of pale ales that turns you off, definitely stay away from West Coast IPAs. Some Hazy IPAs might be more to your liking. They tend to shy away from some of the bitterness, and go for a more fresh juice flavor. Triple IPAs are also an option, because the higher alcohol content can overpower the bitter hops a little bit. Plus, at 12% ABV or more, you can drink a lot less to get a good buzz going. Belgian Pale Ales can be intriguing too (even though they technically are not an IPA).
And yeah, whenever legislation gets passed to make THC alcohol something you can buy off a shelf, hoo boy! Any liquor store within 20 miles of a college campus is going to have a line around the block.

Oh for sure, it won’t be cost effective to make. The hardest part in my mind would be getting the maths right to where it has a noticeable impact without being so strong that it leaves you wrec ked for 18 hours.
If you were going for flavor over effect, it would be totally fine to throw some leaves and stems (maybe even a bud or two) into the whirlpool, or even with your last hop addition in the boil. My understanding of THC is probably lacking, but I don’t think you would get much (or any) high if you just add raw bud to a brew because it wouldn’t have any lipids to bond to. That’s why I think a tincture might be the simplest route, as it’s already activated and bonded, just needs to be dil uted into whatever you’re making.
I have, in my travels, encountered one person who just thought he could dump keef (kief? ceef?) into the secondary and get the desired effect. As expected, he ended up ruining a batch of beer and a gram or so of the powder . To be fair though, he was brewing a lager at ale temps to begin with, so even without the bright idea, it probably would have just tasted like straight diactyl anyway.
