Fuck AI

I've always assumed that. I'm not a brewer but the fact every micro/nano makes like 12 IPAs def has to do with it being cheaper to produce or easier to market it as 'high quality' when it isn't. I used to like IPA 20 years ago, but now it all tastes like hoppy piss water, apart from a few breweries I trust... who also commonly make other styles and are not IPA-only.

but any of my local beer stores like 80% of the selection is IPAs w/ elaborate can art and 'funky' names or flavors. i'm also seeing a ton of 'themed' breweries... all their beers are named after cats, or sports, or some other thing. and their beer is always awful.

We need a “fuck ipas” comm. They’ve completely choked out any other type of beer: stouts, brown ales, hefeweizen… There’s one mainstream brand of each and that’s it. Then 1000000 IPAs.

Yeah I'm in New England and it's insane... every bar/restaurant has like 12-20 IPAs on the menu and 2-3 other beers if you are lucky. I started drinking wine/cocktails a lot more because of this nonsense.

I just want a regular ale. Amber, American, whatever the hops should be a note not the only thing I can taste for a bit.

Return to cask ale. Embrace tradition.

Bock uprising, ITYM.
