This bud's for you, man

I'm a guy who likes to multi-task, even when it comes to food—why eat a meal of individual meat, bread and vegetables when I can just have a pizza?—so I can appreciate the motivation behind combining beer and weed. If you could just drink your THC and alcohol simultaneously rather than alternating drinking and toking, imagine how much time you'd have to listen to Phish albums! Alas, according to this Homebrewer's Hints piece (scroll down past the picture for the article), it's not so easy; even though cannabis and hops are from the same family, hops impart a desirable aroma and flavor, whereas cannabis does not. Worse, adding pot to the boil has the effect of boiling off the THC, so you're left with dry-hopping (which requires a fair amount of the substance and leaves your beer tasting like pot) or adding it to individual bottles at bottling time (which also leaves your beer tasting like pot). Bummer.
