When is it appropriate to order a Dogfish Head 90 minute IPA at 10am on a Monday morning?

I was at a restaurant on Monday where a normal looking mid-20-something year old guy ordered a Dogfish Head 90 IPA for breakfast. He did not look like a college student with afternoon classes, a professional taking an early lunch, or a third shift laborer who just got off work. He also did not look like an alcoholic. I just could not dream up a situation where an IPA with a 9.0 ABV would be appropriate for a Monday morning.

What are your guesses? What was this guy up to?

I wonder if the guy got on a message board and asked a bunch of complete strangers what they thought of a skinny nerd who was staring at him with a disapproving look.

Honestly, you came on here to discuss a young man drinking a beer at 10am? WTF?

That's the place.

He might have gone hard the night before and was trying to put off the hangover off for a while. I'm impressed by people who can stomach alcohol in the morning; I've never been able to.

"Double dipping" refers to the practice of receiving pension payments while continuing to work and earn income, not receiving two pensions simultaneously. You tard.

Funny you think alcoholics have "a look".

Mr. Judgey Judger of People's Drinking Habits knows all.

My guess is...

Mind your own darned business.

One summer on Vacation for a wedding in Denver my friend and I started a brewery tour day at 10ish AM. Might not of been Monday but was during the work week. We got up early had a big breakfast then began a fun filled day exploring the greater Denver/Boulder area

...When the 120 in unavailable

This is the post of the week if not the year. I'm going to forward it to my beer geek friends. Absolutely brilliant.

For the non beer geeks, DFH 120 minute IPA is the 17% big brother of 90 minute IPA.

You sound oddly personally offended by this.

When my daughter was born I was up all night in the hospital. In the morning, everyone asleep, I headed home to eat/shower/sleep - stopped to eat, and I had a beer with steak and eggs. Was one of the best beers I ever had. So I had another. Then went home and slept for 9 hours

Maybe the guy was a westbound traveler and had just flown into town. If he was from Europe, it would have been late afternoon or evening from his perspective.

When you're in Vegas.

I believe the moral of this story is that the guy was enjoying himself and was comfortable with himself, while you were a judgemental little douche who ran to a message board to report the guy. I'm guessing he was probably an alpha make type that you hated. Get a life.

Never. Be a man. Drink Budweiser.

So that was you with the IPA?

I wish it were. Unfortunately I'm not able to hold his schedule but I'd sure as hell like to. Worry about yourself and you'll be a much better person inside and out.

Well I couldn't hold that schedule either which is why I found it interesting. Look back at what I wrote as the OP and you'll see that I was not critical in any way. I was asking for speculation on what situations this would seem normal.

So far the idea of the off-duty surgeon seems like the most noble proposition.

Posted the Judgey Judger living in mormon town USA.

I'll even give you an out you can tell Mr. Judgey Judger voice. "It's 5 o'clock somewhere in the world."

Yes I read the original post. That's how I know how stupid the idea of him being a surgeon is. How many mid-20's surgeons are rolling around your town? Quit back pedaling. You thought it would be a cool thread, and it backfired in your face.

i wish i had the opportunity to order a beer at 10am
