I'd saw off my leg for my grocery store to start carrying something besides shitty IPA's and Budweiser

Fuck that, I love ipas. I had to live half if my life with bland lager and pilsner and nothing else. Ipas ftw

Me Me Me Me Me

So you don’t give a shit that they only sell IPA as long as you’re satisfied? Sounds like one hell of an ego trip to me.

Yeah. The guy wants to buy things he likes and is pleased when a store has a few suitable items as a minimum.

Fuck him and his wallet, right?

A few, you mean like 90% of the aisle and very few of anything else to choose from?

There are beers that are not IPA but do have taste too.

Same here. The limey taste of hops makes the beer for me, when I get a lighter beer I’m more often than not left disappointed, like I’m drinking bubbly water that’s been sitting in a pipe for 25 years. Craft IPAs on the other hand range from “meh it’s alright” to “this is amazing”.

IPA’s are like someone took the worst part of beer and made it the only part of the beer.

Oh, no…I like IPAs…does this mean you guys are gonna make me go back to Reddit?

I’m afraid so. Enjoying an IPA is simply unconscionable in the Lemmy hive mind.

Seriously though, I like an IPA once in a while myself, I just wish the local store had a little more selection

It’s not a hive mind, it’s a central consciousness

No, you’ll just be the lemmy nerd and be bullied about it.

Yeah, alcohol. IPAs taste like bitter piss as much as lagers do but at least with IPAs I get drunk faster and don’t put on as much weight.

For anyone who likes IPAs anyway, their low alcohol versions do tend to taste a lot more like real beer than any low alcohol pale lager does.

What types of beer would you recommend?

Personally I’m more of a pilsner guy. I just hate the bitterness of IPA’s.

Bitter is the flavor of hops. IPA’s are made with a ridiculous amount of hops. I prefer beer with lower amounts of hops.

Bitter is the flavor of hops.

It very much depends on how you apply the hops. New England style IPAs aren’t bitter at all (very low IBU comparable to some pilsners in fact), even though it is probably the type of beer which has the most hops added. The hops are added in the form of aroma hops, which usually provides a citrus flavour instead of the bitterness of bittering hops.

Saisons, sour, pilsner, altbier, Oktoberfest, stouts, bocks, porter

I wasn’t one of the downvotes, fair

Ugh, I once made the mistake of not checking what I was ordering at a bar.
Sour pumpkin beer. I know that many people like sours, and I like some pumpkins, but together, I’m out.

Sour beers are where it’s at

Breweries are everywhere now but when I go and there isn’t even one sour on the list I get really disappointed.

I had the best sour a few weekends ago in NH. I really wish there was a wider variety around. They’re always my favorite. Love a good stout too.

Throwback brewery at Hobbs farm in North Hampton. Food was really good too!

It’s true. Especially on the east coast.

I was down in Austin not long ago. Went to Jester King. Wow, cool brewery, and really good sours

If youre in the PNW you should try to get to Cascade in Portland Oregon. The best sours and some of the best beer I’ve ever had.

Love Cascade. Haven’t been there, but I buy their beer out here in NJ.

I got started on sours because of them

Oh wow I didnt know they shipped out to the east coast. I had only ever seen their stuff out west.

So many breweries half ass a sour, Victory-style.

It’s true. But I also hate the flavored sours. Where they’re literally adding flavoring to beer.

I’m currently enjoying Axe & Arrow. Honestly great with actual fruit.

It’s nice to have variety, but I’d like to be able to buy a tall can of an amber ale or something on my way home from work.

Oh absolutely. It’s good to have at least one beer you can always come back to. For me that’s been the Dogfish Head Sea Quench Ale

My local liquor stores carry Killian’s Irish Red Ale and I swear by it. It’s hearty with a subtle oaty sweetness.

Otherwise maybe look for Sam Adams? Or is that only a Massachusetts thing?
