A few years ago, my girlfriend was having trouble thinking of what to get her stepbrother for Christmas. He was the first person I would think of when I'd hear "hipster," so I suggested an expensive craft beer that screamed "tryhard."

So we bought him pic related, thinking we'd all have a laugh. But instead he just thanked us since it was one of his favorite brands.

What are you basing this assertion off of?

[Anonymous No.7842787]

IPAs are the easiest to brew because you can just shove as many hops into the beer to cover up other imperfections. The mark of a skilled brewer is a quality pilsner because there is very little margin for error.

[Anonymous No.7842798]

>>7842787
Not really though, if you have ever had a west coast IPA and compared it to a well balanced IPA, the difference is massive and amazing.

Plus you are just talking about basic sanitation and quality control, something nearly any commercial brewer can hit, the more important part of being a great brewer is formulating a delicious recipe. Sure tasting like nothing will make it easier to taste if there is literal shit in there, but that doesn't make it a good beer or suggest the brewer is talented, just that he meets the bare minimum of brewing

well if you are having a large meal, then a bunch of light beer probably isn't a good choice, but if its a more moderately sized meal or you are drinking a high ABV ber that shouldn't be an issue

[Anonymous No.7842836]

>>7842818
you're asking me for reasons why beer doesn't goes well with food

I would ask you why it does

beer has alcohol, sugars, hops, and carbonation. the alcohol, sugars, and carbonation can have positive or negative effects on your enjoyment of the meal. the hops, basically either compete for attention, or have to be used in such low levels that they might as well not be there. the combination of these four elements is interesting and pleasurable on its own, but with food its a distraction at best.

contrast that with wine where you get acidity, sugars, alcohol, sometimes non-trivial levels of carbonation even with still wines, and complex tannins from the different parts of the grape. the tannins are critical especially with fatty foods. you just can't get anything like that with beer unless you count barrel aged beers, but even there, it's more of a smell than anything else.

Why do Europeans feel the need to make these threads?

Here, 8 beers I sampled yesterday. Zero of these were IPAs.

Since hops grow better here than certain places in Europe, that is why they expanded into the IPA frontier. Hell, one of my local breweries has Mosaic hops, Citradellic hops, and some sort of Australian species growing in the back that they use in their beers, even porters. Their most famous beer is actually a stout, despite them growing hops.

I'd say sours are the new hipster trend (but I fucking love me a Gose), at least in my state.

Disagree strongly. Beer's carbonation and flavors go GREAT with some types of food, and good wine is better on its own.

Carbonation has a nice cleansing effect on the palate, and balanced hops and malt are a natural complement to many savory foods. This mostly applies to lagers and non-hopped-too-shit ales, but stronger beers can go well with strong cheeses and desserts too.

Just curious, what are those numbers based on?

You can't just list each product a brewery offers and divide by IPAs, each beer obviously is produced in, and sells in, different quantities.

It's like the argument that 99.9% of beers in America are made by some dude in his basement. While that may be technically true if you do the counts in a really misleading way, most normal people would look at the units produced, and ask what percent of the total production is made by say, a 20+ person firm or a 100+ person firm, etc.

You're ignoring how the US also completely dominates the stout game, and does well in other styles.

And while we might not do the best, we do good Belgian and German style beers that cost 1/2 of what the top quality ones from over yonder cost, and are almost as good.

Additionally, the style was the number one entered category at the Great American Beer Festival®.

I enjoy every style of beer. For different reasons, yes, but I can say I like a double IPA as much as a Imperial Stout/Fruit Beer/Belgian/Gose/etc... Am I the minority? I feel like mot styles have their pros and cons, and can be worth enjoying once in a while.

Here's the thing though. I enjoy the GOOD beers of those different styles. I'm well aware that there's 101+ shitty IPA's and others that are awful, and some terrible beers of other styles. Bad beer is bad beer.

I could always drink growing up, it wasn't seen as some thing you had to sneak away to do. I understand in some more repressed environments, it's viewed as a wicked act of teen rebellion. That's not how it was for me. Some of my classmates, for sure, but not the crowd I was a part of.

But growing up I just drank what my parents had at home. I only started actively buying beer when I was in college and had a part time job.

Where the fuck are 16 year olds allowed to buy beer? Germany maybe? Poland? I'm talking about the US.

Your world view is fucking strange

[Anonymous No.7844902]

Yes, I realize it must be strange for you to encounter people who have had different experiences.

To me it is strange to encounter people who haven't ever interacted with someone with a different background or value system.

I didn't even drink much my first few years of college because I wasn't of legal age. And yet, I never got beat up or ostracized for it. Strange, right?

Note that you were trying to pass your experience off as typical.
You literally said most teenagers start by drinking Imperial Stout and DIPA and then move onto light lagers as they become mature. An utterly absurd assertion, which I highly doubt is something you have experienced let alone believe is typical

>You literally said most teenagers start
You completely invented that because you have certain assumptions about who starts drinking and when, and under what circumstances

I am basing this off my circle of college drinking friends. I wasn't part of one of those loud violent fraternities that rapes and sets things on fire. We would pick up some small amount of imperial stout or whatever, consume it, and that was it. Period.

Based on the youngsters I talk to who are just coming out of school and interning at my company, this is also pretty typical. They absolutely love the heavy, strong, obvious beers.

You should understand that in this country, the way a hillbilly lives, tearing up the countryside in his tractor while guzzling natty ice and groping his sister's large breasts, isn't universal, and in fact is a way of life rapidly heading to extinction. It may seem normal, if those are the only people you have ever interacted with, and if the television has told you that anyone who doesn't talk, look, think, eat, drink, and live exactly like you must not be a real American and is probably ISIS plotting to impose sharia law over USA Freedom #1. But I hope you can at least take it on faith that there are many many people whose background and experience differs from your own.

Get out of your farm bubble some time and you'll see things you wouldn't believe. People who don't talk like you. People who don't think like you. People who don't look like you. People who don't eat like you. People who don't live like you.

So you think starting drinking before turning 21 is a sign you are a farmer? What?

[Anonymous No.7844930]

>>7844848
Why though? It covers up the flavor. Maybe when it's cold out, yeah, but year-round sugary stouts?

I do most of my drinking indoors, so I couldn't care less what the weather is like outside

Re-read my posts. Once again you are inventing things because your small mind cannot conceive of a person whose experience is this different from your own. So you change one variable while clinging desperately to the other variables because it's too radical to imagine a world in which a parent might offer a 15 year old a glass of something "rebellious" right there, and allow it to be consumed without calling the Child Protective Services.

Because, as much as some people around here want to pretend otherwise, liking sweet things is natural and normal and is not a sign that you are a a girl (not that there is anything wrong with girls). Although, as I have said, it's normal to gravitate towards lighter, drier styles of beer after your early 20s.

Some people get hung up doing things one way. Like the middle aged MacDonalds manager who still wears his high school sports jersey and tells tales about that one time he totally banged this hot slut in the back of his mustang, 20 years ago.

I'm talking about well-rounded people who seak continuous improvement throughout their lives.

Yes but it's probably spelled in Arabic. I mean it's spelled in Arabic. I know because I speak it. Allahu akbar.

One of these days we're going to take away all your The New Craft Beer and then you'll be forced to drink our Stella and our Heineken and you'll like it because you have no other choice.
