I agree, i just asked my local store owner what he thought was a good beer (wanted to try something new.) well he directed me to "two roads: 'road to ruin' double IPA." He proceeded to tell me that it was the next big thing and everyone around here loves it. Well i popped one open and i swear to god my teeth melted and my eyes turned yellow. It was way overpowering. Now i have had IPAs and other stronger beers but this was out of hand.

If they made something that most people liked, then it wouldn't be hipster beer. It's perfect really. If it tastes bad then you know it's the real thing.

copy that op
A nice hefeweizen or a fruit beer is so much more enjoyable. Leinenkugel's Summer Shandy was my favorite this summer, not sure if it is a seasonal, can get it now. Helped out a neighbor this w.e. & he gave me a few Bridgeport Trilogy 2 IPA, total dogwad |

It's a beer style, if you don't like it then don't drink it.

I don't know how widely it's distributed but my local craft brewery, River Rat has some really excellent brews for a porter palate.
Been drinking their hazelnut brown all weekend. They have great IPAs too but I agree I'm not a fan of bitter beer. |

IPAs are obsolete. You see, we have this thing called a refrigerated stores ship that can keep beer nice and cold and make it from UK to India in pretty good time. We also have airplanes.
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go ride my horse to work. I gotta start now so that I can make it there at 6 am.

I quit drinking all alcohol in 2002. When I gave up beer in '02 all I remember was Bud lite, Corona, etc... Fast forward 12 years and I now have a few beers after bike rides etc.. My Mtn bike buddies are all into IPA's and craft beers.
The first IPA I had I felt like a 9th grader at a his first beer party. I poured it all out, thought it tasted like grapefruit juice. I am trying to come around to these newfangled beers but many of them are skunk piss. |

There are shitty beers of every type, an excellent ipa is a wonderful thing. Don't drink one bad one and write them all off. Try some sculpin, smutty nose or stone.
I like other types of beer, but I enjoy IPAs as well. TL:DR suck it up pumpkin

The great thing about craft beer is that there are hundreds of beer styles to choose from. Beer palates change. Don't be surprised if someday you love IPA. I love IPA....I don't love every IPA. I'm not a fan of anything Stone. I'm guessing OP and most arfcommers have never had sour beer either... |

I walk into my local liquor store looking for some good beer.
It's a really big store. 95% of the "good" beer is IPA. Go to the next three or four stores in town, same thing. Fuck IPAs. Fuck microbreweries that have 87 different types of IPA that all taste like the same bar of soap. If the only way you can brew beer is to cram as much hops in as possible then fuck you I'll buy something else. Or brew it myself. Or fuck it, I'll just stop drinking beer completely and be happy for it if it means I don't have to ever drink another shitty IPA again. Curses on you IPA! Fuck you in all your forms! You have taken all joy out of the craft beer hobby! DIE IPA! DIE DIE DIE DIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Spiced beers, you're next! |

Quoted:
Somewhere along the line, overwhelmingly bitter hops became synonymous with craft beer and the world is worse for it. Seriously, is your beer that bad that you have to cover it up with that much hops? Hops have their place. An IPA wouldn't be an IPA without them. But even then, some of those craft IPAs are peel the paint off your house bitter. Beer can be smooth and still be complex without overwhelming, bitter hops. Have you tried root beer? |

I get the hate, but I don't understand why arf has to post a thread on it every week. They're popular, but not the only option. Stouts, Belgian styles, sours, etc are all available. Brewers like me brew what sells. IPAs pay the bills. I brewed a strong scotch last week when I had a free spot on the schedule. It's like crying about Glocks or 9mm, because you don't like them, even though they're wildly popular. Don't like em, don't buy em. "Stop liking what I don't like!"

Without annoyingly hoppy beers, hipsters would not be able to ironically drink hoppy beer.
If it's not whiskey, I much prefer a nice flavorful ale, or always a good stout or porter. |

I don't mind an IPA, though I'll admit most of the time I was only drinking it for the high ABV. I do get annoyed though how much shelf space is dedicated to IPA's compared to the dark beers that I like. You pine sol lovers might say stores stock so much of it because it's in demand, except part of my frustration is it's always there, never out of stock, while the few beers I would buy are likely sold out instead.

I read something not too long ago from a guy that brews IPAs. He said something along the lines of every year he would spend so much time in the hops locker and tasting and testing things that the flavors would start to blend and get dull, so then he would add more hops. Over the years that has turned into a batch of beer that only a few enjoy, and for those of us not always up to our eyes in hops everyday it just taste like bitter swill.

IPAs are popular, so lots of breweries are churning them out. Some great, some not so great. If you ever had a Heady Topper or Pliney the Elder (which you probably never will), it would change the way you think about IPAs being undrinkable. Honestly, I am not a fan of IPAs in the least, but to write off the entire style because you never tried a decent example is pretty ignorant. |
