if you like whisky Dragons Milk is quite good (the reserve is much better, it's aged in coconut rum barrels and has a higher alcohol content) because that's about 70% what you'll taste when drinking it and the rest of it is mellowed out by a coffee like stout taste

I haven't tried many IPAs because I've had a few harsh experiences with them the first I tried was Dirtwolf's Double IPA which was way too oily tasting for me so I'll give this one a shot if I find it. Also pic related is a beer by a local brewing company that is quite good

It's actually killing the import market here. I've spoken to several guys who are in distribution claiming as much. I used to be able to find Leffe and common German brands at most grocery stores. Now, over the past two years, they've all quietly disappeared to the point where not even most liquor stores carry them. I want my damn Leffe and Köstritzer. And, it's all IPAs now. Nothing wrong with a good IPA now and again, but every damn brewery puts them out. It's suffocating.

Yes. They are top-fermented, which is a lot easier to do than bottom-fermented (most home brewers start out with top-fermenting beers, and bottom-fermented is only really suitable for larger quantities), and just buying some nice aroma hops can also mask the quality of the rest of the product

It ain't any different in America. Problem is everyone and their grandma started pushing the shit out the same way all the vitamin water like drinks pushed out stuff like poweraid and all the sports drinks to the point all these water drinks took up entire shelves at the grocery market.

Same with all the meme fad foods. Usually when I see that shit pushed on the shelves to the point you cant avoid it, it means someone out there wants you to destroy your health. Ask yourself this, what kinda folks do you normally see drinking IPAs? Usually it's the same type drinking Pabst, and I ain't talking about your grandpa either. Next, ask yourself what sets IPAs apart from other beers. It's the amount of hops used. Now drink this one in.

May as well just be drinking fermented soy at that point.

Pretentious is by definition the brewer being an asshole because they think the product is hot shit. I doubt Larry bell gives a flying fuck about what you think about a beer he's been making that long. The pretentious ones are the fags marking it up once they deemed it best beer in the world.

Founders centennial is in every way a better beer.

I'm guessing you are a cali fag and are so used to being fed gluten free shit from the allergy crowd that the taste of malt is like the first beer experience most kids have at age 12. Grow the fuck up.

What in the actual fuck is happening with new Holland. Every fucking bar in bum fuck Michigan used to have fucking dragons milk on draft at the turn of the fucking century because it was cheap as fuck and high abv. It was and remains basicly unchanged except the gonzo fucking gimmick releases. The brewery stagnated and I swore up and down was going to die because good shit like pilgrims dole and blue Sunday no one drank and hatter doesn't really play ball in the same league as 2 heart and centennial. Now 15 years fucking later and all the retards I trade with want the fucking mole dragons milk these guys are crapping out. I don't get it.

To be fair it is a great beer in joke packaging. Those 5l mini legs can be a nightmare mare though. A hopslam mini keg is a test for a drunk over a day or 2 as pacing becomes a real issue.
