I think we can dial back the sheer volume of juicy IPAs and bring back west coast style as a more widely found option, but otherwise yes I do not understand the gripe against IPAs. They're good. Other kinds of beer are also good. It's all good (Belgian supremacy tho)
I also thinking everyone should have to do that 9th grade science class thing where you see if you don't have the bitterant receptors on your tongue so we know where we all when stand when complaining about coffee/beer/etc being too bitter. Sorry but my tongue is built different
Those motherfuckers gaslighting you into thinking “craft beer” means doing the absolute minimal amount of labor, sprinkling in some pumpkin spiced horse piss and using low key misogyny to discredit people who don’t like it.
I’m not here to fight. I’m here to burn villages and salt the earth.
I want to be warned by the bartender. I want him to demand that I taste it first. I want him to look concerned when I order the full pint. I want other people to be confused and scared when it arrives. I want it to be so goddamn sour that my lips pucker all the way out my asshole, Claire
I'm actually porter boy, but you wouldn't know that because porter basically doesn't exist anymore thanks to capitalism's perverse obsession with the india pale ale.
Heh, a friend & I went to PDX for a big birthday weeklong trip, with our friends coming up throughout the week, and everyone wanted their first and/or last stop to be Cascade so we went like 8 days in a row, I was shotgunning Tums on the way those last two days
I didn't LOVE the 1st Gen astronaut food as much as I wanted to, I need to try it again. Their standard Gadget/Spyglass always did it for me, as well as their wonderful pickle beer (and the spicy pickle variants as a Bloody Mary base), and the special barrel aged boysenberry and red raspberry
Maybe there's people who love it and drink it regularly, but the intensity of it, combined with the ABV (15%) and price ($30+ for a 4-pack) make it just something I'll pick up for someone who has never tried it.
My favorite is Porn Stache Brewery Hop Piss: Quintuple Hopped Edition. Closely followed by Board Shorts Hop Squirt, which is regrettably only quadruple hopped.
I'm coding to believe that, by sticking with my beloved sours, I'm Switzerland in this conflict and will eventually become rich off whatever the beer equivalent of Nazi gold is (Brewdog?)
I understand why people hate pretentious beer snobs and triple dry hopped hazy etc etc but I can't pretend that macrobrews don't just fucking universally suck and I'm going to speak my truth
Having spent too much time around beer snobs, I can tell you they're far less arrogant and dogmatic about taste than all of the people who complain about beer snobs
There's a point where they get past a certain annoying hump and become true alpha beer snobs, who will say stuff like "Naturdays is actually a really good cold drinking beer"
Back when Sam Adams was the only game in town I did their brewery tour and they had a super bitter limit edition beer that I loved. I thought i had my quirky taste. Then everyone else decided they were forced to pretend to like IPAs and that nobody really likes IPAs and I've always resented that.
Seriously, though, when I moved to the UK I got so much ribbing that sounded like this. I'd just moved from craft-brew heaven in New England and didn't even get the jokes at first b/c I'd forgotten how much of America still drank Coors. Just an out-of-touch coastal elite, I guess.
Doesn't work at all. I suppose if I spoke with a British accent while wearing a Bruce's philosopher's hat it would be an impersonation. And which Brit are referring to?

1. If hops in beer is good, is more hops better (true/false)?

Lol
Just a chonker of a beer
Though of course, there are excellent lagers, just not Budweiser.
Bitter is GOOD
Black coffee tastes good
Ayahuasca isn't that bad actually
90 Minute IPA is god tier
They're both fucking close to water.
How does this work as a rewrite: How to impersonate a Brit who hasn't been to the US in decades.
