60 minutes and 90 minutes in Beer

Each passing day, you learn new things in life. Sometimes, I think our lives is too short to know about a lot of things...forget knowing everything. More often then not, the mind is intrigued to learn or read about new things from the incidents that happen on a daily basis. Something similar happened to us this week.

This week, we went to a place to eat dinner after work. We ordered a draft beer. After some work discussion and some jokes and information sharing sessions, we were presented with the bill. We were shocked to see the draft beer charged for $7.50. We thought it to be too high. The high cost triggered one of my colleagues to fire across an email to the restaurant over the high charges. I ranted in Tweeter and left a comment on Yelp!  To our surprise we found an email to response. The response talked about 60 minutes and 90 minutes and the beer we had being the one for 90 minutes. The email was courteous, but the language was too technical or the thought was that we were beer connoisseurs. I am far from it.

That night, I fired a search to find out about 60 minutes and 90 minutes in beer.
It seems that some lagers created more hops if it the wort was boiled for around 90 minutes. It also seems to depend on what are the ingredients that makes the beer and then the brewers decide how long they want to keep it boiling.  Some brewers use combination of high temperature with a variant in cooling process to have a certain distinct color to their beer.
After reading about malt, barley and the beer making process, I still fail to understand the high price for the beer with 90 minutes. I can see it been expensive by a Quarter or maybe even 2 Quarters, but charging almost $3.50 cents was too high in my opinion. I am sure, a lot of brewers will have different opinions on this one. Bu from a customer point of view, the beer almost touched a glass of Wine!

My source of information came from the below URL and of course Wikipedia.

To Clean Energy or not?

India is a nation of almost 1.2 billion people. There is an immense need for resources and infrastructure to sustain the growing population and the booming Indian economy to keep the nation moving forward. India also lacks the basic infrastructure at rural areas to provide the basic necessity like power, roads and water supply. It's common in B-town city to have a structured way of "power-cuts" ranging anywhere from 2 hrs. - 8 hrs. a day in summer! For the longest period of time, India has been dependent on Coal, and its power is more or less generated by Coal energy or fossil fuels. Coal as everyone knows is one of the "old" energy technology responsible for carbon emission and India has always walked a tight line, when it comes to Kyoto Protocol aimed at fighting global warming. India is at a threshold to usher in Nuclear energy with a new proposed nuclear power plant in Jaitapur, Maharashtra. The proposed nuclear power plant is no ordinary plant -- The 5 b

1. All eyes on iPhone Sales - iPhone 8 (4 mins) I love reading Bob Lefetz newsletter. He has his own unique way of saying the things that he wants to say where a layman can understand it. " Tech is all about utility, not fashion. And there’s no breakthrough coming, other than a curved screen. You needed a new phone when they went from 3G to LTE. You needed a new phone when they increased the screen size. You no longer need a new phone, especially since the carriers have stopped subsidizing the purchase, now that the true cost is evident. People drive their cars ever-longer, but analysts believe consumers are all gonna fork over a thousand bucks for a fashion statement? Not gonna happen. Otherwise, 3-D TV would have been a juggernaut and you’d be throwing away your present flat screen for one with 4k." http://lefsetz.com/wordpress/2017/05/01/iphone-8/ Bonus article  - Bob had an amazing post last week just before Twitter's quarterly results

Is it the rebirth of Nokia?

Is it the rebirth of Nokia?  The two products that were announced, definitely stands out from the hardware point of view, but is the normal die-hard audience ready for a non-symbian/Meego OS from Espoo? Is Windows 7 that compelling, that consumers will forgo an iOS device with equally great ecosystem or for that matter the amazing choices of hardware that one gets from different manufacturer on Android? I was  disappointed with the device on two fronts. No front facing camera and  absolutely no guidance on US release. I was hoping that from the time Nokia made the decision to move from Symbian to Windows Phone 7 in February, they couldn't leverage the partnership to bake Skype to provide an awesome alternative to cell plans..at least in Europe.  Front facing video calls with Skype and Windows Phone 7 OS could have had a good selling point. Also w ith the direction of XBOX integration in windows phone 7, 512 MB just doesn't cut it anymore. I understand, iPhone 4S has the
