Because if I drink lager, I'll rip through 20 of those fuckers in a night. IPA makes you slow down and enjoy

The whole phytoestrogens thing is not true. I lost a testicle due to cancer and get my testosterone checked regurally. My levels are around 900.

Because it's easy to make. Any moron can homebrew a passable IPA. The bearded douchebags at the brewery toy with some basic recipes and slap a cunty name and hipster logo on it and bam! Sales.

Lagering is much more difficult, so fewer local, 'craft' douchebags are willing to make it. Add to that the fact that the craft brew movement to darker ales was largely a rejection of grandpa's Bud, and the IPA becomes the perfect beer. For douchebags.

as you get older your perception of bitter flavors becomes less pronounced. at 20 all you can taste is intense bitter, at 30 you taste a gentle bitterness that coexists with other subtle flavors to create an enjoyable beverage.

For me it's a pilsner. It's hoppy and yet crisp. It isn't oversweet like a lager or heavy like an ipa.

They taste ok to me. The real reason I drink them is the higher abv. I have a high alcohol tolerance.

its not so much that its hard....its that, in a fashion, its more work and equipment for what ends up being a less interesting product....laggers are simply less flavourfull than ales are, and when craft guys do them, they taste better than macro laggers but the price point cant ever match(scale and what not) so whats the point....youd be making expensive lemonade basicly, no one wants to pay that much for it

ale is more versitile and yields a wider product range for a craft brewery

it takes more time

>> No.10654237

>>10654213
exactly, why buy seperate, and more expensive equipment and run a line that produces at half the rate...especially when the final product willl be close enough to macro laggers that no one will want to pay the cost you have to put on it to break eeven on it

Yes because it is tasty and contains alcohol and hops.

Because it's a long way to the Indian colonies by steamer and you have to over-hop the beer to hide the taste of it having gone stale on the long, hot, humid journey.

it's good. better than lagers, for sure. Bud Light and similar can fuck off. Nothing is better with a burger

t. Tastelet

Some IPAs are pretty tasty but the latest fashion is to cram the beer full of fruit and hops to counter the tasteless lager culture millenials grew up with. It's basically the same reason stouts are coming back as well.

Personally, I find them a middle ground between easily drunk but less tasty lagers, and harder to drink but tastier sour beers.
