His hop additions were furious, and for thirty minutes I countered each one with more malt and darker crystal. “Perhaps you should study your styles more closely.” His hands flew up over his head and froze. “You have chosen Chinook, Brewer-san.” His eyes narrowed. Between thumb and forefinger he held a single green cone. When it was over, he stood and turned to face me.
