>notice on the beer subreddit and other beer forums that quite a few beer drinkers only like IPAs
There is nothing wrong with liking IPAs, but how the hell is that the only style that you like?
Can you call yourself a real beer person if you refuse to drink pilsners, stouts, ambers, wheat beers, etc.?

No. When IPAs got real popular it's all I wanted. After about a year of that I tried anything I could. Now I hardly ever buy the stuff and stick to pils, stout, or wheat beers. Black IPAs are still based, but not made nearly as much as they were

I've been drinking beer for 30+ years and honestly outside of a stout I have a hard time telling you what style of beer I'm drinking if handed something random. But also who cares what hipsters drink?

I treat my beer like my women. The browner the more worse

IPA's are for low-test, high estrogen faggots.
Reddit is for low-test, high estrogen faggots.
Real mystery.

i got into IPAs as a teenager because they usually had the highest alcohol content
they can really hit the spot sometimes but the fun part of beer is all the variety so i can't imagine drinking only IPA that sounds retarded

[Anonymous No.18340706]

I even met someone in real life like this.
How do you not enjoy something like a Pilsner Urquell?

[Anonymous No.18340865]

My store manager is just short of this. Only experiments with different ipas. Everything else not so much. Atleast the grocery manager branches out.

Beer is not my identity, so I don't really give a fuck.

But for beer nerds, it is
Yet many will only drink meme IPAs

I hear their pilsner is very good

[Anonymous No.18341168]

I'll order an IPA 90% of the time, but I've never met anyone in my life who ONLY drinks IPAs. Usually people who drink IPAs are a lot more open to trying different styles. I will rarely order a pilsner because...fucking why?

[Anonymous No.18341179]

Pilsners are great

[Anonymous No.18341830]

4chan is the only place you will find people who only want to drink one kind of beer

I recently drank my first ipa and it was fucking terrible.

[Anonymous No.18343222]

Not true, a lot of beer nerds only drink IPAs

[Anonymous No.18343268]

>>18340183
Its because of hipsters. I always loathed IPAs because its too hoppy. Prefer dark ales overall

[Anonymous No.18343393]

>>18341168
I would order pilsners far more often if bars actually had a good variety of them on offer. I've been to so many bars and microbreweries where the offerings are just:

-Standard American bud/miller/pbr/etc swill
-8 different IPAs
-1 stout
-1 other wildcard beer of some other style

But good lagers, ales of any sort but IPAs, wheat beers and hefeweizens, etc are so difficult to find. It blows my mind that, evidently, people would prefer to order some vomit-inducing cotton candy with marshmallows double IPA then a good, German-style helles.

[Anonymous No.18343968]

I hate when beer nerds claim that pilsners and helles are "boring"

[Anonymous No.18344138]

>>18343968
I hate when people make up stories about how every bar either has bud or 8 different versions of a marshmallow ipa.

[Anonymous No.18344229]

Reddit jerk off IPAs
/ck/ jerks off Belgian ales

It's understandable, IPA's are incredibly(relative) easy to make and they're safe because the soidrinkers who enjoy them aren't picky.

the older I get the more I like IPAs and sours. everything else tastes so sweet. I cant drink ambers anymore and most lager just tastes like soda

It comes at a price though when you overdo it. Nothing worse than an IPA hangover, smelling like a dirty homeless guy who emerged from a pine forest.

Or the local liquor store. My neighbor has only drank Miller High Life for like 30 years.

He would always offer one to me when I walked by as a kid. Nice guy.

>hey anon, you're 18 right? want a beer?
>uhh no, i'm 12. and i'm pretty sure the drinking age is 21.
>oh... well anyway, come in the garage and have a beer i wanna show you something

Nowadays he'd probably get reported and go to jail for that. The 90s were a better time.

the Hardee’s strawberry biscuit ale was better

i can't wrap my head around how similar this npc looks and sounds to my own dad back when i was born. i thought the 70's 'stache and mullet sunburn combo died in the late 90's.
>>18341061
these taste just like the Abita pb and jelly ales but with that ridiculous biscuit powder. the sweet lingers but i imagine if any of you want to possibly make a trending clip you could try dipping a strawberry biscuit from hardees in one of these poured into a glass. dunno :) for about $13 a four pack they're definitely worth the beer cred.
