Thank you, totally agree on this. Give me a nice kosch or something else interesting

Ugh same here, every selection is half IPAs. Not a fan myself but the history behind the style is my favorite beer "origin story". It would help if more breweries listed the hops used. To me that's the key to knowing if I'll like it

Help, I'm stuck in a boring-ass red state so even some IPAs would be an IMPROVEMENT. Nothing but "Natural Light" here now that Bud Light got cancelled.

God, I thought I was the only one. relief

I did a Sweet 16 bracket elimination contest for regional IPAs a few years back just to force myself to identify the 'good' ones and eliminate bad ones. Even after doing that, I do a little dance any time there's something else available.

Or sours, gross

I agree. Shitty IPAs are shitty, but I guess that is by definition.

Never had a beer I liked, and EVERY SINGLE TIME a friend will tell me what they like is actually good "you can't even taste the beer flavor, just the blank" and every single time, it tastes like beer with no hint of the blank.

i started drinking wine just to get away from IPAs

I feel you.

I brew my own beer just have a decent Munich style lager.

What is this, 2012?

Looking at you New Belgium. How many damn IPA's do you need? "Cigarette butts in a can" all taste the same.

You from the states? Over here in Germany I can get (in a 5 km radius):

• Pilsener
• Hefeweizen
• Schwarzbier
• Porter
• Kölsch
• Lager
• Export
• Bock
• Helles
• Alt
• Kellerbier
• Landbier
• IPA
• Stout
• Red Ale
• Brown Ale
• dubbel/trippel/quadruppel
• ...

I like IPA and there's like 3-4 very distinct sort of IPAs. There's a imperial IPA from a local craft around me that's almost caramel dark and people might not even call an IPA on a blind taste test.

But, I must agree it's kinda silly theres 2-3 IPAs in the craft section for every other type most places. I tend to buy the IPAs when I buy craft beer (outside of making a trip to the really big selection places) because the only other craft options are like "bland blonde #82 from probably owned by Budweiser brewery" or "ale that tastes like spoiled Newcastle". Sometimes they have dales pale ale in a few different labels for more money.

Craft beer has just become a shit show at retailers for me. No one carries any of the cans I like anymore. I have to go far out of my way to buy anything I actually want. Fortunately I live 15ish minutes from a downtown with a half dozen good breweries that have 10+ beers on tap year round. I'm not a bar/brewery person and I wish I could get cans to drink at home still though.

Thought I was on r/bartenders for a minute there :)

Me, who drinks an imperial IPA: Umm, yeah, totally annoying that there aren’t more… pilsners?

I like saisons and kettle sours, not always easy to find those
