This is a problem with decaf coffee too -- the decaffeination process removes flavor as well as caffeine.
There are new coffee varieties with the caffeine gene knocked-out. Once those get established we can have uncaf coffee instead of decaf.
Played with Kaylee. Sun came out, and I walked on my feet and heard with my ears. I ate the bits, the bits stayed down, and I work. I function like I'm a girl. I hate it because I know it'll go away. The sun goes dark and chaos has come again. Bits. Fluids. What am I?!

There are new coffee varieties with the caffeine gene knocked-out.
But how do they taste?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Plus, with mutated coffee beans I suppose coffee drinkers would have to worry about the occaional monsterism.

Shrift, there were cheers for you in Florence when Dana announced you had a new job.
Excellent! I only wish I could have been there with you all. (And if The Fiddler's Elbow was still around in Florence, you could have got Guinness there, but the last time I was in Florence was 8 years ago, so who knows where the Irish pub is now!)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
We just had Sam Adams Cream Stout ice cream at JP Licks yesterday. It was goooood.
Oh, thank you. I have an ongoing stout & ice cream argument going on, and it's nice to have some ammunition for my side.

I like the taste of good beer,
Yep
and if one could make it without alcohol and it tasted as good as your craft brews, I'd drink it.
Not sure I'd go that far. Maybe.
I have Ben & Jerry's Black and Tan ice cream in my freezer, but it's not really all that stouty.

Not sure I'd go that far. Maybe.
It's a pretty moot point, considering that alcohol is one of the tasty ingredients/essences of beer, but I wouldn't mind in a perfect world being able to alternate in a session between a 5.5%abv and a 1.5% abv, providing both are delicious.

I love Guinness... by the time I'm drunk enough for eating the food at Dan McGuiness Pub to start sounding like a good idea, I'm already full!
