The guy who wrote the letter about the IPA is both right and wrong. A traditional formulation of IPA is designed for extended shelf live. However, traditional formulations of IPA are nearly undrinkable by modern pallets.

Most beers marketed as "IPA" are actually extra-hoppy versions of Pale Ale that are not as heavily alcohohic or bitter as traditional IPA. Plus, unpasteurized craft beers of any kind other than wickedly heavy hopped and highly alcoholic old ales and barlywines go bad very quickly. The trade-off is that barlywines and old-ales must be aged in order to be drinkable.

Yes, traditional IPA was designed for a long shelf-life, what it wasn't designed for was taste. In an era where sanitation was poor and microbioligy was not well understood, most beers actually sucked pretty badly by modern standards. It was more important that the beer not be rancid when it reached the troops in India than actully taste good. Face it, if you're a British solder stationed in India, you'll drink anything.

The unpasturized modern versions of craft IPA are toned down and refined for modern pallets and to be consumed shortly after production. They are just as unstable as other beers.

However, when beer goes bad it effects only the taste. There's nothing that will grow in beer that will actually kill you. So, drink up.

Is it just me or is the HD Quictime version not HD? It seems grainy just like last week.

Compare it to previous HD versions and its pretty poor quality.

I was thinking the same thing. I wonder if there's a problem with the camera.

Hey everyone -

If you pay close attention, you may notice that Diggnation this week isn't quite the full resolution that you're used to. We had a problem with some of the equipment (cough cough hippie glenn cough). Luckily the show still looks good and we apologize for the inconvenience. You'll notice the same thing for episode 193 that we just shot with the same equipment glitch.

Thanks in advance (read: we hope you accept our apology).
