My son was drinking a double IPA last night. I tasted it and decided
it would make a very good tasting beer bread. He says it's "hoppy",
which is something I don't normally like - but it shouted bread to me.

I know that it is sold here in Ontario. I believe it is manufactured in
Ontario. I have not had it in a long time but I have had it and liked it.

Yeah, my guess is a hoppy beer would be ideal flavour-wise for beer
bread.

Hops is what makes an IPA an IPA. Made shipping ale to India viable
back many years ago.

From what I understand, there is nothing about that ale that makes it
more suitable than others for shipping. There was a strong market for a
particular brewery's hoppy ale in India.

My son used to run a microbrewery and he told me that IPA is the beer of
choice for most of the brewers that he had worked with. Most of them
did their own home brews and liked to do IPAs. However, hoppy does not
always make a good IPA because when w batch of beer isn't working out
some brewers will add extra hops and try to pass it off as an IPA.

IPA tends not to be among the big sellers in the beer business. Most
beer drinkers are easily swayed by advertising and tend to drink the
mass produced stuff. Their rating on beers tends to be based on how much
they can drink without getting bloated or drinking. IPA, being a very
full flavoured and substantial is the sort of beer I have when I am only
having one.

That can not be healthy for a kid, they need a little protein. We had
the best school food, IMO, it was all southern food, except for
spaghetti and enchiladas.

Pretty much what wiki says:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/India_Pale_Ale
The common story that early IPAs were much stronger than other beers of
the time, however, is a myth.[11] Moreover, porter shipped to India and
California[12] at the same time survived the voyage, and common claims
that Hodgson formulated his beer to survive the trip and that other
beers would not survive the trip are probably false.[13] It is clear
that by the 1860s, India pale ales were widely brewed in England and
that they were much more attenuated and highly hopped than porters and
many other ales.[14]

Demand for the export style of pale ale, which had become known as India
pale ale, developed in England around 1840 and India pale ale became a
popular product in England.[15] Some brewers dropped the term "India" in
the late 19th century, but records indicated that these "pale ales"
retained the features of earlier IPAs.[16] American, Australian, and
Canadian brewers manufactured beer with the label IPA before 1900, and
records suggest that these beers were similar to English IPA of the era.[17]

Nothing beats cold pizza for breakfast. If I'm lucky, that's what I'll
be having in a couple of hours.

My oldest brother used to eat leftovers for breakfast. His breakfast was
often basically reheated supper, and he liked pie with it. My younger
brother had the need for dessert that I did so if we had pie for
dessert he often passed on it, but he would have it for breakfast. Go
figger.

Sounds good to me. I've had it once in a while.

I feel the same way. I hate it raw, but like it a lot cooked
thoroughly. I don't like raw carrots either, but cooked buttery soft, I adore them. My son is the same way.

You're talking about a fruit pie. Yes, that's fine for breakfast. I
also think pumpkin pie is great for breakfast... it's a vegetable - so
it's a healthy way to start the day.

I always have pumpkin pie for breakfast the day after Thanksgiving. It's
a serving of vegetables!
