I'm so sick of IPAs, my god. Can you not make anything else?

[–] Nalivai@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You are allowed not to buy them, so far.

Yes, it's possible to stay home and curl up into a ball.

it's also possible to stay home and not curl up into a ball. There are a lot of options!

[–] Nalivai@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

This is also yet to be banned.

I guess buying hops is a lot easier than gitting gud at brewing.

Most of CTs breweries also have a nice stout. My favorite is the romanov bourbon barrel stout at Woodbury brewing company.

The brewery near me has more non IPAs then IPA. They usually have at least one stout or porter, an American Ale, a couple Honey ales that are very popular and a Hefeweizen, at least one fruit flavored beer and maybe two or three IPAs on tap.

IPAs are just still very popular. My pet theory is that it's partially the alcohol content as there are a lot of double IPAs that are high in alcohol content.

Oh it's absolutely alcohol content, and a little bit of holdover from hipsterism. They also have a strong taste so it's a good base to try out various different wacky flavor combinations.

I wish more places around here had American ales. Whenever I find a brewery that does it ends up being my favorite beer on the menu. I especially like the ones from thimble island and city steam.

I love IPA for the taste, and I wish there was more lower-alcohol ones.

[–] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago

Little anomaly IPA by Long Trail is one of my favorites, it's 3.8% and 110 calories, if those are of any concern.

Would you like me to add some fruit juice to your beer?

[–] easily3667@lemmus.org 0 points 1 week ago

If that beer is an IPA, even fruit juice won't fix the taste.

Our best local brew(Red oak) is a Bavarian amber lager. Only the people that hate beer drink IPA.
