IPA drinkers

How the fuck do you drink this shit? I’m three deep in some Voodoo Ranger and can’t get thru the citrus/grapefruit shit. 7% abv is the only highlight if you want to call it that.

Blame hipsters.

An IPA is one of the few beers I literally will never order. It took me forever to even be convinced that people actually liked it....I just thought it was hipsters pretending to be fancy. It just tastes like grass and random plants to me.

Porters and stouts are where it's at.

Amateur. You must drink a lot of coors light. Plus pick a better one than the voodoo ranger.

IPA has been around way before those dirty hipsters.

Just drink Miller Lite like a man.

The triple hops brewed is where at!!!!

And speaking of amateurs...that's why every startup craft brewery focuses on overly hopped IPA. Because they aren't good enough to make a well executed beer without the safety net of covering a mistake with tons of hops.

Certainly all the hipsters know that those hops are used to mask mistakes right?

Word. This craft beer shit is worse than vaping.

Yeah I’m an amateur and I’ll stick to the normal shit next time

Voodoo Ranger is an Imperial IPA, you aren't supposed to drink 3 of them at a time.

Hops are like peppers. Not everyone can handle habaneros or heck even Anaheim peppers for that matter. They'll never care about how a Scotch Bonnet tastes compared to Jamaican chocolate pepper because they are automatically dismissed as "too hot".

Most people are fine with Noble hops because that's what we've been using in beer since the beginning of modern history. Throw in way too many and the beer will taste earthy, maybe grassy depending on the batch. These are like bell peppers. Pretty much everyone can eat those without problems.

IPAs tend to use American hops though. Voodoo Ranger has a ton of Cascade hops which is where the grapefruit flavor comes from. It also has a lot of Mosaic which is my personal favorite but is also one of the more expensive ones now. You get pine, tangerine and maybe even blueberry type flavors. These are more like the Habanero varieties in my comparison. Traditional German, Czech and British beers won't have them because they simply weren't available when they were created.

I'd suggest trying Bell's Two Hearted at some point. If you don't like it then just forget about the style at all. It's the best you can get in our market. If you can't handle that maybe go with a Czech style Pilsner and if that's still too bitter then stick with stouts, porters or heck even most lagers.

There's plenty of good craft beer out there but at least 80% of it sucks. Most breweries that can brew a good "normal beer" will be pretty good at their craft.

If a brewery only has overly hopped and gimmicky beer...I'd stay away. As an example, you have sour beer that tastes like pickle juice or cider...and then you have jester king who actually makes an awesome product while still carrying guest taps. They don't rely on gimmicks.

You know the origins of IPA, right?
