IPAs are just one among many different styles of beer. If you just hate them because the market got over-saturated with them and all of the breweries trying to make the hoppiest one you are an idiot. By that logic you would also be obligated to hate big Imperial stouts because they have been becoming more and more popular, especially if they are aged in bourbon barrels which I assume you also hate because it is "meme liquor" or something equally stupid.

Thats exactly the reason why. I live in an area where leading in craft breweries and it seems that they all have about a dozen types of beer in stock, with 8 of them being derivatives of IPA.

I drink different types of IPAs like the normal person drinks a macro lager. They're approachable, any time of day, with any meal, at any time of year beer. The market is a bit over saturated, but IPA varieties really are the go-to of the modern beer drinker with stouts, porters, and much of everything else as a situational beer.

I like expertly made lagers, wheat beers and stouts because I know how difficult it is to perfect them. Hell, I really like it when brewmasters get frisky and make exotics like blueberry vanilla on a wheat base or a peanut butter stout... or even root beer. Because, that's fun.

IPAs were a thing because the taste of hops was still novel at some point.

I don't get all the IPA hate on /ck/. To me it just seems like a hypocritical dislike of something because of its popularity. This cult of obscurity is the same thing people attribute to another thing people love to hate, hipsters. The style is so broad (more so than competition judging guidelines allow for, those are just made for convenient and easy categorization). There's strongly malty ones with not much hop presence, there's low abv ones, not just the strong hop-bombs that people feel superior when bitching about. There was a trend for a long time where small brewers would try and gain market traction by releasing the next overly hoppy, over strength double (or triple) IPA but the market became oversaturated and that trend fell out of favour a few years ago (in favour of sours mostly, it seems).

Most IPAs i tasted were just too kind of fruity and citric/lemony??? ( foreign speaker here) for my taste.
Tasted like some big hairy bear daddy kind of gay in comparison to the faggy kind of gay mixed beer drinks taste like.
And they lack the kind of clear, freshness where you can just gulp down a few if you are thirsty i like in good beer.
My sentence: too complicated for not enough tasty gain.

Especially for me living in germany and having like 100 german and chzech beer types readily available in the beverage shop around the corner. In fact i just started my own faggy beer taste test series and i am currrently trying to sample every single type of "Helles" they have there. Of course i buy by the box and still want to drink a nice bitter Pilsener after work so i´m probably occupied for some time ^^

most of the big german pilsnet is shit nowadays though. simplified and de-hoped to the point that you cann barely identify them if you even can.

Helles is well, also more of a beer to jst drink to quench your thirst.
i like some stronger tasting beers (inckuding ales)

Helles is good like on a holiday hike through the alps. Just go from Berghütte to Berghütte and enjoy.
But yeah some of mass market Pilsener are oversimplied and some taste outright nood good. I Alwasy wonder who buys König Plisener that tastes like Bitburger 1 year over the expiration Date.
But the hopy Pils styles like Becks and Jevener are fine and anything from a more "local" brewery is usually really fine.
Point is: we can try every beer we see without getting faggy over it and trying to imitate a wine degustation. That´s not how you enjoy a beer.

>That´s not how you enjoy a beer.
That's how many fags here do. Warm beer in a fine beer glass to capture aromas.
Most don't sweat in their work and probably don't understand the satisfying refreshment of a nice light lager or pilsner after work.
Have you tried Peroni on tap after a day?

>hopped pilsener like becks
is this a joke?
there is no pilsener with less hopp than becks,
there is some better beer frmtheir brewery though.
Haake Beck (the original beer form that brewery) actually has some taste (and is cheeper).
also:
>Jevener
it is Jever m8
but i like it.
Fiege is pretty based though. my local brewery and my favourite if it comes to pilsener

They are pretty bitter as far as mainstream pilsener goes. With mainstream i mean marketed in all of germany , tv spots, sold at soccer stadium kind of shit.
Fiege is good but is more of a local Pott brew and not readily available everywhere.
I was talking about the good stuff of the beers catering to the mass market ( the generally more prone to beeing shitty beers).

[Anonymous No.6127304]

>>6127297
i know
and i also know that fiege is not more than a local brewery witha slightly bigger market.
but really Becks is by far the big pilsener i dislike the most. watery through and through, and i don't think they are bitter at all.
I remember there was a TV show where hey tested different mainstream breweries for traces of hops, and most of them were barely detectable with becks not even showing detectable amounts of hopp aroma.
i laughed

the telling quality of belgian beers is the mechanism of fermentation. the microorganisms that convert wort into beer (yeast, lactobaccillus and brettanomyces) are pretty unique in belgian beers.
