There was no epiphany moment, but pic related is probably more responsible than anything else. Still a solid every day beer.

Love pale ales

What is objectively the best beer ever known to man and why is it Sierra Nevada pale ale?

Nice. Is that Canadian? Judging from the French, and that map on the bottle looks like Quebec.

South of England but I worked/lived in Ipswich for a year. One time I went to Bury St. Edmunds for a night out, it's a nice place.

Anyway, I disagree with you my friend, IPA is making a big comeback.

Obviously you've got all the trendy "craft beers" like Sierra Nevada, Goose Island, Brew Dog, and more independent stuff than that.

I got into those beers a few years ago because it was the "trendy" and "cool" thing at the time.

Then I thought why the fuck aren't I drinking something like Greene King IPA? It's LITERALLY THE SAME KIND OF BEER as Goose Island IPA, the only difference is that the trendy youth associate English IPAs with fat old men with beer bellies.

But what does that have to do with the taste and quality of a beer? It's just fucking branding. So now I drink proper English IPAs and I don't give a fuck if some smarmy hipster thinks I'm out of touch. In fact I'm a POST-hipster. I'm so alternative, I'm even more alternative than they are.

Also I like that English bitters are served a little less cold than other beers. They're still cold, just don't give me fucking brain freeze. So I like that. Especially in the winter.

This shit is everywhere and a classic.
