IPAs taste horrible

I agree. They taste like absolute piss. But my parents and siblings (who are all 25-30) seem to like them which is strange.

Ironically, they were upset with me since last Thanksgiving they asked me to pick up drinks for around 8-10 people but didn't like when I got a 30 pack of natty light and a couple bottles of pink Whitney and Fireball. In my opinion, they should have known better and my choices were good though.

That’s ok, I’m sure you were able to pawn that stuff off on the local high school football team.

The very light IPAs are ok. By that I mean the clear light honey shade, not the darker dehydrated pee looking IPAs. They sometimes have them on the top of the bar in tiny jam jars here so you can see the shade before you pick.

Honestly, I would rather drink Budweiser. I did used to wonder if that was because it's made using rice rather than wheat but it wasn't that, I just preferred Budweiser.

I do not think IPA's are very manly:

Men who love IPAs may be a little more top-heavy than guys who’d prefer to drink lighter beers, but it’s not because of the calories. It’s because the hops that give India Pale Ales their signature bitter flavor contain a plant-based form of estrogen known as phytoestrogen that could cause men to develop man boobs and erectile dysfunction.

I was a huge IPA fan for years. The more bitter the better. I decided to take a year off of drinking entirely and when I tried an IPA I just didn't like it anymore.

I still average less than one drink a month but I'm much prefer a good craft pilsner or something much lighter. Of course I do still like the heavy Christmas beers.

Agree on both counts and Dale's is my go-to.

Kentucky Bourbon Ale is also very good but a bit potent and expensive to drink except occasionally.

Too many IPA taste alike and tbh, and not great, but good ones are very good. Stone, Dogfish, (esp 90) among the widely available are pretty good. Also, the other big issue is shelf time. A lot of these beers move slowly and unless they are fresh and treated properly...definitely check dates and err on the side of assuming its gone off.

Bell’s Two-Hearted Ale for the win.

Either way you still get ethanol. Try Athletic Brewing if it's your thing.

Taste horribly, not horrible.

The IPA can taste? Uhm, Ok 😆👌

It;s the reverse grammer troll, don't worrie.

Also it was "IPAs taste horrible"

so would have been "IPAs taste horribly"... which makes tonnes of sense.

Lately I'm on a Hazy IPA kick. Some purists would look down upon this. But it does make for a lighter, fruitier IPA experience.

It's not all bad, people.

a man who cannot enjoy a quality IPA is no man at all, and could not pleasure his girlfriend... if he had one

That's fine but Odell's IPA is still #1. I might have to grab a sixer of Light Hearted next time I see it, though. Oskar Blues's defunct Can-O-Bliss series of IPAs was also exemplary. There are many good ones and a lot of bad ones out there, that is once you get to acquiring the taste. Even my wife likes IPAs but then she isn't a white wine type, either. Do people dislike IPAs also find green tea and black coffee intolerable?

I'll 2nd the Dale's Pale Ale and will go for select DDH hazies. A well-executed, unfiltered ale (e.g. Mountain Sun pubs, Knotted Root) is such a treat. The past few years, I've found IPL (Wibby) to be a refreshing tangent though I suppose Cold IPA is really similar. As a hop-head, I've lamented the demise of the barleywine. I got some SN Bigfoot seasonally, but over a decade ago I could find Avery's Hog Heaven year round.

All that said, I just polished off an OB Dale's Light Lager on the patio as I posted this. To every season...

IPA's are just a disgrace to the beer industry. I have had them and tried to like them but they just aren't that good. I much prefer lagers and pilsners. German wheat beir is very good as well.

The abv for natty light is 4.2%. The minimum abv allowed for a beer mile is 5%.

Your beer mile PR is a lie.

Bud light has always been trash. But now I intentionally choose to avoid it

True and I previously avoided it intentionally because it is common swill like any other mass produced beer.

Now, I might buy a 30pk just to irk rw kooks. I'll take it home and pour it down the sink. lol
