All I know is that the NorthWest's MicroBrews in the US are hard to beat. So is the skunky, sticky, purple streaked, green stuff. I haven't had (any of the latter for a loooong time, but both fine traditions 'round here were started at least 20 years ago.
I prefer IPA's to most types of beer anyway, and I find myself never running out of new types to try. This myth of bad beer in the US is just plain wrong.

Ah, so many mistakes. In fact the term 'trip-hop' actually derives from a short-lived mediaeval dance called the 'treb-bopue', which first appeared in North Someset around 1450AD, and which was named after the siege engines which were used to defend Bristol against invasion(*). The dance was slow, and related to the estampie, but with rhythms, and choreography which were derived from the preparation of the trebuchet engine for firing. The music was characterised by the use of both Tenor and Counter-Bass Saxbutts.
(*) The rogue Portuguese general Vallamos attempted to ransack Bristol in 1427 as the first part of his failed 'Somerset Campaign' intended to sieze the city of Bath, which he believed was the true seat of power in England, being the site of Arthur's Camelot and the location of the Grail. Vallamos was executed in Portugal in 1436 after accusations of heresy, and the accusation that he had links to an unknown group trying to re-establish the disbanded Templars in Europe.

Nah, i'm pretty sure it's derived from stoner slang.
You know when you're totally bolloxed, walking across the dancefloor, trying to act kewl for the ladies & then you trip over your own feet & then kinda hop back & try to do it in time to the music to disguise the fact that you're so stoned you can't even walk & think at the same time.
That's a trip hop, related to that old Bob Marley style 'falling over' skank.

The act of having tripped up in such a fashion, but actually fallen on one's posterior, was also responsible for DnB, or, as it was once known Dumb'on'ass. A simply typographic transposition was enough to create a whole new genre.diverdee wrote:Nah, i'm pretty sure it's derived from stoner slang.

I hesitated to reply in this, but this thread is so far long gone.
You gotta try any, and I mean ANY Dog Fish Head beers. I've only had the chance to try the 60 minute IPA and the Raison D'Être. Both of them were awesome. It's brewed in Delaware I believe.
So where abouts in Washington do you live? I live near Bellingham.

What nonsense is being repeated as fact! The truth is that, like the transformation of the predatory Elizabethan "flutter-by" into the harmless "butterfly" of today (a complex genetic mutation is required to force alteration not just the creature but its name as well), the word "trip-hop" has undergone, if not a sea-change, at least a long soaking in very hard water-change.
The Middle Low Hochdeutsch term "phop" refers to a sturdy, roughly 1.5 meter-long metal strut, typically of bronze, brass, or suitably buttressed spelter. A supply of these was to be found among the utensils in the kitchen drawer of nearly any respectable house in Middle Low Hochdeutschland. A single strut being insufficient to constitute a tripod, when one wished to use phops as a support for some useful item (defined as "an item more useful than a single phop"), one would use three of them joined at the top and splayed out at the bottom. Not a single phop, not a mono-phop, but... well, you already see where I'm going with this, don't you?
Good thing there are authorities like me to set the record straight.

Yes, quite...and correct me if I'm wrong, Professor Meffy, but if the length exeeded 1.5 meters it was then refered to as a hi-phop, or hiphop. One can only ponder as to when trihiphop will debut as a musical stye.Meffy wrote:The Middle Low Hochdeutsch term "phop" refers to a sturdy, roughly 1.5 meter-long metal strut, typically of bronze, brass, or suitably buttressed spelter.
