#125 – The Hop Project Lemon & Grassy and Carly Rae Jepsen




1 Beer 1 Song show

Summary: <a href="http://1beer1song.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/hop-project-lemon-grassy.png"></a> Summer is *just* loosening its grip a bit, so here we have a crisp, refreshing episode before surely tumbling into six dark months of barrel-aged barley wines and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doom_metal#Sludge_doom" target="_blank">sludge doom</a>. Despite what is easily one of Russ's least good pouring jobs ever, we managed to drink <a href="http://www.thehopconcept.com/#lemonandgrassy" target="_blank">Lemon &amp; Grassy</a> from <a href="http://www.thehopconcept.com/" target="_blank">The Hop Project</a>, which is the latest imprint from the <a href="http://portbrewing.com/" target="_blank">Port Brewing</a> / <a href="http://lostabbey.com/" target="_blank">Lost Abbey</a> folks. I struggled a bit to clearly (and accurately) describe Lost Abbey, mentioning I thought it was a Belgian-inspired theme. Well, <a href="http://lostabbey.com/crusade/" target="_blank">I was right</a>, so nyah. A quick lap around the <a href="http://1beer1song.com/episode-guide/" target="_blank">episode guide</a> seems to indicate we've never reviewed a beer from either Port or Lost Abbey. WTF? In keeping with the crisp and refreshing theme, we listen to a track from <a href="https://www.carlyraemusic.com/" target="_blank">Carly Rae Jepsen's</a> new album, <a href="http://www.rollingstone.com/music/albumreviews/carly-rae-jepsen-emotion-20150825" target="_blank">Emotion</a>. Longtime listeners might remember we last listened to Ms. Jepsen on <a href="http://1beer1song.com/2012/08/09/11-hub-organic-ipa-and-a-surprise/" target="_blank">episode 11</a>, almost exactly three years ago. One show note: We mentioned looking up the medical term for people who are disgusted by mouth noises and then promptly didn't do it. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Misophonia" target="_blank">Misophonia</a> - From Wikipedia: Misophonia, literally "hatred of sound", is a rarely diagnosed disorder, commonly thought to be of neurological origin, in which negative emotions (anger, flight, hatred, disgust) are triggered by specific sounds. <a href="http://1beer1song.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/crj-emotion.png"></a>
