drink beer even though you dislike beer and recommend only the shittiest most bitter beers to everyone you know until it becomes a fad to drink 50+ IBU beers.

beer is like coffee in that even if you at first dislike it, you will learn to like it if you just keep at it. i didn't like beer when i was a teenager, but had to drink it a lot due to peer pressure. i now love beer.

so i guess even the ironic beer drinker will at some point turn into an unironic beer drinker?

This might blow your mind but a lot of people legitimately enjoy ipas. Normal people aren't choking down beers they find disgusting just to feel superior to you.

reasons to go to a swamp:
- nomadic tribes sack the places you actually want to live
- escaping slavery/religious persecution/government oppression
- suicide by alligator
- to drain the swamp

American IPAs suck, american breweries that make super-bitter IPAs are just riding a wave of faddism. I guess if you smoke a shitton IPAs are okay though because you can't taste anything anyway.

The best part of getting really drunk is waking up and having no idea what happened and having cuts/bruises on you that you don't know how got there. Then the next day you slowly remember falling down those stairs/punching that road sign/etc.

Craft brew just means that the brewery is smaller and independent, the vast majority of craft beers are just regular beers with slightly different recipes or ingredients, you seldom see an x infused blah beer and when you do it's typically seasonal.

You're literally years out of date in you furor against ipas, stouts and such are more in at the moment. IPAs were/are popular cause they can be cranked out fast and their bite is good at hiding minor flaws, most craft breweries have an IPA for this reason.

thats because ipa is literally poisoned beer to make it last longer when shipping across the ocean.

IT's not an IPA. Ballast Point's Sculpin IPA is some of the best beer on Earth.

Also the "extra hoppy to survive shipping" is an urban myth.

IPA's need to be consumed fresh, they degrade pretty quickly. The hoppy nuances are the first thing to go.

i guess this is a natural backlash to the popularity surge of craft beer. i myself still remember the time before when the most exotic stuff available at the grocery store was czech dark lager, and am very happy to find ipa, porter, red ale etc. on my neighborhood grocery store.

Regarding Guinness:
I'd like it a lot more if it wasn't so pathetically weak. 4.2% ABV? WTH. Is that just a US thing or what?
