I hate to agree with Carl on anything, but he’s right about IPAs

His statement that they are just garbage and that most people just pretend to like most things because they are popular or exclusive is spot on. I fucking hate IPAs.

I also hate IPA’s but this doesn’t redeem Carl in even the slightest.

But his NY Yankee cap shaped baseball cap travel case totally redeems him.

There's good and bad like any other style, but dogfish head 120 is my favorite beer.

Would you prefer a grapefruit radler?

IPAs are awesome. Everything Stone Brewery makes is awesome.

IPAs suck but so does the watered down swill I drink so fuck it.

He's not wrong to dislike Individual Puertorican Americans.

HURHURHURHUR

Some IPAs are good but most of them are just crappy beers that all taste bitter.

It’s tough to find a good one, but when you find the right one, everything else sucks.

This has been the case every time I’ve tried them

Diversity in beers is directly proportionate to diversity in humans

IPAs are the beer equivalent of filet mignon.

IPAs are the “beer” of beers. They really have to grow on you, but when they do you really love them and their higher alcohol content.

Man boobs and a fat beer gut. There ya go einstein. Drink it straight like Florentine, what are ya 12

Hops are worse than soy

good IPAs are fucking delicious, bad ones taste like ass.

I dislike IPAs but this is not exactly an original thought.

Hop stoopid is good. Others I've had I regretted because i couldve just bought hoegaarden

I like Cowboy Pale Ales, tssssssssssssssssss

I hated IPAs until I was almost, 35. Maybe my pallets changed when I quit smoking... I love them now.

Nah, you just became a faggot.

Oh yeah, I guess it could be that

The only IPA I like is 'Nugget Nectar' made by Troegs Craft Brewery. Other than that, give me a stout or porter with my lunch and I'm one happy guy, but what do I know?

Every time I get a porter, I end up disappointed and wishing it was a full on stout. If you're into the Russian Imperial end of stouts, I'd recommend Evil Twin Brewery's Even More Jesus series and their Imperial Biscotti Break (particularly weird/delicious is Imperial Biscotti Chili Hazelnut Break) And your 100% right about Troegs, they are fantastic.

IPA’s are alright just drink what you like and don’t be a faggot about it

They were my favorite style for 10 years and for the life of me I loved them for real, not because they were popular. Then one day I just snapped out of it and wondered why the fuck I've been doing this to myself. They're better than adjuncts and shandies but that's about it.

With that whole India voyage history thing it's the equivalent of beef jerky, loaded with salt so it lasts for months. Who would prefer jerky over a steak? It's not far off from the adjuncts, whose originators made intentionally with garbage ingredients to save money, then got away with it by brainwashing an entire country into believing ice cold is always better. It just kills the crummy taste somewhat.

tl;dr people are really dumb (myself included).

Actually, at the time they started brewing them, the corn and rice in American adjunct lagers were more expensive ingredients.

This sounds highly unlikely. Where did you read that?

Beer snobs are faggots. Just drink your piss water and pass out alone

It's like taking a delicious ale beer and then adding the taste of bitters and malt liquor.

Seriously. I hate it when I go to a bar in San Diego and they have four IPAs, Bud Light and a cider.

*I get it, IPAs are popular,* but would it kill you to throw in a pale ale or an amber?

Any restaurant I take over at, I replace the beer choice with a wide variety always throw in a pale ale and an amber. It's an easy positive review online every time

I've noticed that at craft beer stores. Seem's like 70% of the stock is IPAs.

I enjoy them legit. I dont care if they're popular because I drink alone.

IPAs are for faggots and frat boy betas. You know what's a good beer?

Whiskey.

I've got a beer for the most refined of whisky drinkers: https://untappd.com/b/lefty-s-brewing-company-islay-barrel-aged-scotch-ale-2017/2421609

It's like pouring your favorite scotch into a frothing glass of Red Dog.

Dirt wolf on draught is banging. And it's like 9-10%

IPAs got really popular with young people around the time I came of drinking age. Finding out your good friends preferred IPAs must, on some minuscule level, be like finding out your father is gay.

My dad ain’t gay, he’s just a man of leisure.

I moved up to Whiskey as I got older, but in NYC the price adds up quick, and I hate the shitty stuff they throw in with two PBR's or whatever.

I honestly want to stay with beer, I just dont know where to go. I love the pale shitty, SOME fruit beer can taste great with it but not all. IPA's and IPA drinkers can be obnoxious...

You drink IPAs what are you five

I only drink 10% to 15% ABV stouts, or porters. Sometimes when I want something light I'll drink a dry cider.

Nice inclusion of the ABV percentage, stupid.

Are you mad they stopped making your favorite cum flavored IPA cuck?

Nice bomb, stupid

Hey cuck, which do you prefer prepping, or cleaning the bull?

IPAs are fine, I like bitter drinks in general. I don't sit and get evangelical about the beer I drink, I just drink it. I drink other beers too, as long as I like it I drink it, who gives a shit.

Anyone else thinks beer sucks across the board?

You and women.

They are as common as any other type of craft beer you whiny little bitch.

Fresh IPAs are the best. The thing about a lot of IPAs are they aren’t brewed to last, and they’re so many different micro breweries that stores end up sitting on a lot of product and it’s get real bitter real quick. Not to mention they don’t travel well. Climate, Altitude etc. all effect the quality of beers. I live in an area that has a lot of microbreweries nearby but I still check dates to see the brewed on. Chances are if your IPA is 4 months or older it’s gonna have a massive drop In taste

When I went to study uni down south it was full of soyboys drinking IPAs/craft beers, it was almost impossible to get a normal pint in that stupid student town.

They are undrinkable... just another fad like vaping... Only pretentious wankers drink that shite... Havn't seen a single person drinking a craft beer since I moved back up North, and we are big drinking up here

How about a grapefruit beer, brothaman?

The people who don't like IPAs also don't understand how people like black coffee. Bless their hearts.

I fucking hate IPAs.

I don’t know why anyone except maybe a britfag or dingo would

Nice beer, stupid. Whatever happened to just drinking gin and shooting heroin like a gentleman?

People don't like them because they're new or trendy. They've been around as a popular form of beer for decades now. Breweries like Sierra Nevada and Bell's started in the 1980s and got popular in the 1990s. People like them because they are market dominant and because so many people have drank them for so long that they have social proof. They are in no way, shape or form exclusive. They've been the craft beer market dominator for over a generation. You'd think somebody in the food service industry would understand this.

Everything Carl says is wrong and retarded.

Every time I get a porter, I end up disappointed and wishing it was a full on stout. If you're into the Russian Imperial end of stouts, I'd recommend Evil Twin Brewery's Even More Jesus series and their Imperial Biscotti Break (particularly weird/delicious is Imperial Biscotti Chili Hazelnut Break) And your 100% right about Troegs, they are fantastic.

Nah, you just became a faggot.
