Good blog post

i wish your mom chugged cum instead of taking it in her snatch

Of course they are overrated. For decades people drank euro pale lagers and american adjunct lagers where the hops were not up in your face and no one had a problem with it.

IPAs are great and very varied, but imperial stouts and porters are the kings of beer world, followed closely by barley wines

>>13525323
Get over it faggot.

>>13525323
I agree to an extent; the IPA craze has been pretty overbearing. I try to stick to single hop brews when I drink IPAs. Hops have different flavor profiles when used properly, though “bitter with a high ABV” still seems to be the most popular (where I’m from at least).

the dry hopping wave of things has really improved things on the IPA front, at least here
much more flavour and less overbearing bitterness
the fucking GOAT is pilsner urquell in Czech though, i could drink that everyday for the rest of my life and be happy with it, but the export shit just isnt the same

this guy's so hipster he's from medieval england

>>13525522
Pilsners are nice and crisp, and I enjoy them, though they’re the exact opposite of the beer styles I enjoy most. Do you have a top 5 pilsners you’d recommend?

>>13525323

americans dont put hops in their beers?

>>13525678
Nah, it’s all piss water.

such shitty taste

It's okay, you go ahead and enjoy your Bud Light, bud

>>13525323
I don't ever want to chug cans and cans of beer like if they were water, I am not an alcoholic.

Gose makes for a good summer beer. They're good at quenching thirst and are low enough in alcohol that you won't be on your face at the end of a long afternoon. Anderson Valley also makes melon, blood orange and raspberry versions of pic related. They're tart and refreshing, not sweet as you'd imagine from the added fruit.

Based.

>>13525323
Lagers contain hops, retard.

>>13526104
Flyovers don't understand that by drinking a case of beer a day they're consuming more hops than the numale who drinks one IPA.

I preffer ales for their taste and lack of effervescence, the bubbles make my insides churn

>>13526120
I don't mind the hops themselves. What I don't like is the bitterness from excessive hops use

>>13526469
Try drinking them within 3 months of the bottling date.

>>13526472
A 600 IBU meme IPA isn't going to be any less bitter when it's fresh.

Every IPA I've ever tried has tasted almost exactly alike, and that taste was bad.

>>13526477
Technically, no. But the hops will lose most of their floral qualities and will just taste flat and bitter, which is not pleasant, and not how they're intended to be drunk. Also, the human palate can't differentiate between 100 and 600 IBUs.

>>13526481
Again, stop drinking expired beer. The, "hurr, IPAs were created to withstand long sea voyages" meme is pretty much horseshit, and has literally nothing to do with modern IPAs.

>>13525323
I like IPAs since they're usually higher in alcohol so you don't have to drink an entire 12 pack to feel a buzz

>>13526512
Anon, I've tried them from supermarkets, off bar taps and even direct from the brewer. I got to try Castle Danger's IPA so fresh it hadn't even reached the brewery's storage yet, and guess what? Still shit bitter and flavorless like every other IPA.

>>13526524
>flyover ipa
I think I found your problem.

The problem seems to be that america only knows two extremes: Lite beers with almost no hops or faggy IPAs with so much hops that it taste like shit. Here in europe you have plenty pilseners around 35-40 ibu that have a refreshing hops note but aren't try hard bitter or have flavours that don't belong in a beer.

>>13526529
>muh COOOOOAAAAASTS yes I love paying the cost of a two-story house to live in a studio apartment!
Name me one brewery better than Castle Danger.

>>13526700
Treehouse.

>>13525602
Schells keller pils
Summit keller pils
Victory prima pils
That's all I got for ones that actually distribute

>>13526816
One trick pony

>>13526566
It’s really out of hand here in burgerland, most pale ales aren’t distinguishable from IPAs. It’s all the same hoppy shit.

>>13525323
I agree man. The extreme HOP flavor has its time and place.

>>13526566
Not really. Almost every brewery around me is putting out lagers and stouts left and right. Not to mention the insane popularity of sours now too

>>13526566
This. Americans finally realised that beer could have flavour and so they completely overdid it like an alcoholic that's been forced to be dry for months suddenly let into a whisky cellar.

And that's not an insulting thing, it's a fact. Without a cultural knowledge of what varied beers taste like and a willingness to experiment, American small brewers went wild, but the problem is that the predominant form of the American small brewery beer is basically make a high alcohol beer and dump a whole lot of hops in it.

>>13525323
You aren't supposed to throw back 12 IPAs in a sitting retard, of course you feel saturated by it in that case.

I don't care if I'm a pleb it's tasty

>>13527126
This. Most small brewers are only doing 1 or 2 IPA's for the edgy "babby's first craft brew" kids. It's evolved into alts, bocks, barley wines, dunkels, german/czech lagers, porters, stouts, lambics, etc. IPA's are for the kids.

>>13525323
hipsters need to learn that there other types of beer than IPA, Make a pilsner or lager you fucking douch bags.

>>13525323
Yes, I love overly hopped beers. How did you know?

>>13525323
hey and plus hops have estrogen so they make your dick fall off and give you huge fucking tranny hooters

>>13525323
>HOPS IN BEER ARE FUCKING OVERRATED
All beer has hops, you idiot. Except, of course, gruit.

>>13527193
are you ohio?

>>13527343
because you're from the west coast and have gaped soy mouth

>>13527193
The fuck is this.

>>13525323

>>13527427
and that's why beer is shit.

>>13527637

>>13527783
A really tasty, tart fruity ale from a company that normally only produces trash

>>13525323
Can agree, those dark lagers and dunkels are the best imo. IPAs and other over hopped beers taste like rubber bands

>>13525323
The recent popularity of IPAs also explains the explosion of hot sauces. Boomers are getting older and are losing tastebuds. they need stronger flavors

>>13525323
People like them because they are normally high in alcohol content. Skinny, twig-bean looking faggots drinking even a 6-7% IPA will have them on their ass after just one.

Note you do not see fatties and/or actual alcoholics buying IPAs, ever.
