    Great advice. Whenever there's something I'm not sure of, I always find the answer by watching Training Day. That's why I'm so wise.

    It's not a bad way to get one's new IPA noticed in the ever growing sea of IPAs.

    What you're supposed to do with that is basically decide whether you want to take this beer or perhaps the breweries other beers seriously or not.

    Basically to me it's a warning label that implies, we have run out of ideas on how to sell our beer.

    Or it's a big inside joke, and they like to mock their consumers..

    all depends. It's kind of funny, often it seems these brewers can get away with being cheeky, border line gross and insulting to their customers, and laugh it off while still continuing a business.

    Other business just don't get that freedom.

    I'm guessing the actual answer probably has something to do with how fresh the hops are supposed to be, as in wet hop ale. I think the .0528 is just something they pulled out of their ass though.

    It's just Tongue-in Cheek marketing as is the name Blah Blah IPA
    "Here at the 21st Amendment Brewery we are huge fans of IPA and love our hops like anyone else, but we also like to have fun. Our Blah Blah Blah IPA is a tongue-in-cheek, commentary on the popularity of this style and all the sub-styles that have become part of craft beer conversations and offerings. At 8% ABV, our Blah Blah Blah IPA is a deep gold color, double IPA (of course) and is jammed packed with hop flavors and aromas. With nine different hop varietals including Equinox and a one, two, three, 2-pound per barrel dry hop punch of Mosaic, Citra and the latest Idaho 7 hops. On top of all that the late-kettle boil additions give this beer a juicy, hop chewy flavor. A firm grain bill of Pilsner, Golden Promise, honey, wheat and Vienna malts gives great structure and support backing the complex confluence of hops. IPAs are here to stay and Blah Blah Blah in many ways is a tribute to their prevalence and popularity and we love it. So, grab yourself a Blah Blah Blah IPA and celebrate this plentiful style and hoppy indulgence."

    C'mon people. blah,blah,blah! Whoever doesn't get that this is humor is a little too uptight about their beer. Wetness factor-- hilarious. And yet about 3/4 of the replies are falling for it! Marketing

    My urologist recommends nothing over .046, and lower, if it is a larger than 12oz or multiple servings.

    I just realized blah blah blah is actually the name of the beer. As stupid as that is, the beer sounds pretty good, and now I'll recognize it if I see it in the cooler. Yup, you're absolutely right. Mission accomplished.

    Better buy more of their beer to figure out wetness factor.

    Sure, they list the wetness factor, but leave out the snipes/oz. Unsubscribed!

    .0528 sounds low for a beverage made almost entirely from water.
