    I have no problem with craft beer or the people who make it.

    Just stop with the endless IPAs.

      The reason there are so many IPAs on the market is because they have so many ways to create different flavors with the hop varieties. And yes you can have, for example, two pilsners that have different flavors but they likely won’t have such an insane difference in flavor as a strong, bitter double IPA and a citrusy, refreshing session IPA.

      Source: am homebrewer, make lots of IPAs

        Thanks for the explanation.

        If that’s your thing, have at it.

        Went to a local brew pub and they were sold out of anything BUT IPAs. There were only 3 non-IPAs and 8 or 9 IPAs. So I wondered, has the market decided in favor of IPAs?

        But then, they sold out of everything else?

        So where are we in relation to ‘peak IPA’, before or after the peak?

          Hmm I’d say the craft beer market is pretty heavily dominated by IPAs right now, and that could either be because they’re trendy or in high demand. I feel like theres been a heavy IPA craze for a long while now, but it’s definitely been getting bigger and bigger as the craft beer scene has been exploding all over.

          Could we be past the peak? Perhaps, but i don’t think so. I personally find IPAs to be the most interesting brews because the flavor balances can be so delicate, which could also be the sentiment with other brewers.

          Though i do get not ALWAYS wanting an IPA, especially when you’re trying to knock back a few (or more lol)

          Sounds like you haven’t really taken the time to try some different ones and get a feel for what you might like. Best way to do it is to go to a local brewery if theres one near you and order a flight so you can get like 6 samples.

    And in a hundred years someone finds this old 2d-photo, and thinks we all looked like that and how common it seemed to loose two fingers, watching the guy on the left and in the back. Probably lumberjacks. They might be colleagues of the blind person to the right. Just like us watching the old b&w photos from a hundred years ago.
