I’m not sure what the hop recipe is for this one-SingleCut usually keeps that close to the chest-but, as the can says, it’s mega dry-hopped because “the Spiders demanded it.” Never disappoint the Spiders, I always say. It’s a double dry-hopped DIPA inspired by Moonage Daydreams, a song Bowie originally recorded in 1971 with a band Arnold Corns, and subsequently re-released as the third track on Side one of Ziggy. I’m An Alligator-formerly known as Cold Fire-is the “bigger brother” of another SingleCut IPA that has previously graced my sill, the Weird & Gilly.

Buceta really knows how to find those names, doesn’t he? Are you an alligator, too? (Credit: Martin Stezano/Beers on Windowsills) I always get a kick out of the Bowie-inspired names. Bowie’s fifth studio album, The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars, has been a huge influence on the Queens-based brewery’s beer names and label art. It’s common knowledge to SingleCut Beersmiths fans that owner Rich Buceta loves David Bowie. “I’m an alligator, I’m a mama-papa coming for you / I’m the space invader, I’ll be a rock ‘n’ rollin’ Windowsill for you” David Bowie… sort of.

My can had a couple of unfortunate floaties in it, but they didn’t impact the stone fruit and bright citrus flavors, and they didn’t impact the hoppy goodness in the brew. As for the beer itself, what do you think I’m going to say? It’s from SingleCut and it’s DDHed. I like to save my drinking, eating and partying for the weekend. If there’s one thing I don’t like doing, it’s going out during the week. That’s ok though, because he saves it up for Friday Night… when he plays some tunes with the Sultans of Swing. As the lyric says (paraphrasing here), Harry doesn’t really have time to hit the nightlife during the week, because he works a day job. That album-the band’s only album to hit #1 on every global chart-contained the band’s only number one single, “Money for Nothing.” All that being said, today’s beer, the Double Dry-Hopped Harry Doesn’t Mind from SingleCut Beersmiths, is named after the band’s very first single, The Sultans of Swing, which came off of their self-titled 1979 album. They’re a British rock band, formed in London in the late 70s but-at least in my opinion-their biggest hits came off of the 1985 album, Brothers in Arms. If you like 80s rock, you know the band Dire Straits. “And Harry doesn’t mind if he doesn’t make a scene on the Windowsill / He’s got a daytime job-He’s doing alright.” – Dire Straits… sort of.
