Parish just posted this with no caption. Is this new or has this been released before? I must have it.

Maybe I dont know shite about beer, but this DDH, 4XDH, all seems like a ploy

DDH is not a ploy. 4X might be a waste of hops on their end but I'm sure that cost is passed on to the consumer.

But nope

Is this going to be like razor blades? See how many blades you can cram onto the head?

I'm sure the brewers on the board can discuss when dry hopping becomes excessive and a waste of hops. I have no idea on that subject.

Do you need to drink that thing through a straw?

Hmmm... need to try 4XDH Envie to be sure.

I would guess that at this point their returns on hops added are diminishing greatly... just a guess though. I don't know what the saturation point is.

The new 60, 90, and 120 minute. Similar to the IBU race of 2008.

Actually the more hops you dry hop with, the more hop oils that will be extracted, ultimately creating more juice.

Sure, but at what point is that no longer making the beer better? Or at least not making it enough better to justify all the hops and hop loss?

I've had a few great beers from Brew Gentlemen where they took a double dry hop and doubled that lol. It was a noticeable addition to flavor and overall juiciness.

That still doesn't answer your question because I'm not too positive as to what point it becomes pointless.
