Torpedo.

Filed Under Food & Drink, Language | Leave a Comment

Being in the mood for an especially hoppy India Pale Ale, and being at the market with Sierra Nevada products bearing a sale price, I thought I’d purchase a six of Torpedo. Mistake? Perhaps. It isn’t that it’s a bad beer; it has certain charms. But it isn’t an IPA. It’s an extra special bitter. Somewhat disappointing. But more jarring is that the label identifies “Torpedo” as “Extra IPA Ale.” Which, like “ATM machine” and “PIN number” before it, bothers the piss out of the grammarian in me.
