What is IPA?

>> No.10497088

IPAs are generally ok. The problem is when a brewer thinks it's ok to hop the shit out of it to an assaulting level. "Oh some people just don't like hops! Its an acquired taste!" No dude, you wrecked the batch.

>> No.10497250

IPAs are bitter and intense and have the most alcohol for an inexpensive beer (tripels and quads aside).
The masculinity culture around beer resulted in fragile and insecure men forcing themselves to like them to look like badasses.
Ironically, this surge in popularity has made them bland, passe beers associated with only the soyest of boys.

Maybe it is the IPA causing them to be 'soy' boys in the first place; hops have xenoestrogens in them.

As side note, I used to think I hated the taste of all beer, but I tried a hopless beer made by a local brewer & well, I guess I just hate hops.

IPAs are sometimes not bad, but the "soyboy" type often goes with the quadruple IPA that tastes like nothing but sour and tannin hops because it's basically like the hot sauce of beer. It helps them assert their nonexistent masculinity to onlookers.
