Like seriously if you're complaining about something with alcohol in it then you might as well just end it. Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy. Allah akbar and poo poo.

there are some really nice ipas around they just don't have so many hops it tastes like swilling perfume

Yeah, but when hipsters have a massive wank over them, they take up half of the taps at the boozer.
The other half are ciders

I like IPAs because they make me more trendy, so I don't look like some casual poo poo who only drinks lagers and ales, and the only time I've ever gone out of my comfort zone was cider.

IPAs are ridiculously over-represented, to be sure.

it's like the bit in the movie Sideways about Merlots, but then everyone who was drinking wine was like, "yeah, i'll drink what that horrible character in that wine-based movie drank" and suddenly Pinot Noir was popular

but then again, i base what beers i get on two things - cool name and ABV.

i'm an idiot, basically.

Alcohol is all about pouring the most disgusting liquid in the room into your mouth and pretending you love it to prove how manly you are, OP. So I guess that makes IPA's.... good?

ipas tend to be higher abv but cost the same as other six packs so that's why i go for them

sierra nevada torpedo is the best

that said there are wayyyyyyyy too many fuckhead breweries out there who think "ipa" means "oh just make it taste loving foul, like biting into a buckeye or licking freshly polished furniture"

there's a difference between bitter and foul and a lot of people don't loving get it

Sour ales are dead already, the new hotness is lagers but they have to gently caress them up in clever hipsterish ways rather than just make a beer that tastes like beer.

yeah, like putting fruits and poo poo in them. like you're supposed to be checking out the beer at your local super and do a cartoon doubletake and scream A BLUEBERRY PIE LAGER!?!!?!??! and buy twelve of them

IPA are great, sorry about your little babby taste buds. the more bitter and citrusy the better imho

if this is going to be a thread to complain about beer I just want to say gently caress "session" beers. i keep seeing stuff that looks interesting and then I pick it up and it's like 4% and I feel like I've been robbed. I bought one of those $20+ Beer Camp 12 packs from Sierra Nevada and two of the flavors were "session", that's four beers out of the 12 pack. Felt like a good friend just stabbed me in the back

also herbs and spices and crap like that does not belong in beer. i'm drinking this poo poo not marinating chicken in it

IPAs? More like "I passé." If you're a real beer connoisseur you're just pouring live fire ants into your mouth now. Enjoy your plebian "beer" that doesn't taste like pure burning pain.

This is a metaphor, a Christian allegory. The fact that I have to explain to you that Jesus is the Warthog, and the Banana is drepanocytosis is just embarrassing for you.



What if we just took an IV of morphine instead of drinking bitter beer, or any beer for that matter?

"Soft" alcoholic beverages have been around for a long time. In the 80s there were wine coolers. In the 90s there was alcopop like Zima and Mike's Hard Lemonade. It's all sugary crap that only teenagers drink because their parents buy some to try, gag after one sip and when it disappears from the back of the fridge a month later it's just assumed that somebody threw it out.
