At this point my taste buds are even burnt out on good IPAs (for those who accept such a premise as possible).
I’m lucky enough to see some good reds/stouts/etc come through a few times a year, but the ratio of IPA:Not is just ridiculous IMO.
yeah TBH I barely drink beer at all anymore because finding beers I like has gotten to be such a chore.
There’s some IPA’s I like but I don’t like drinking nothing but IPA’s every time I drink beer. And pretty much the only “mainstream” beer I spend money on is Modelo, but again, if I drink nothing but that all the time after a while I start to get tired of it.
If you haven’t tried it, Carlsburg Elephant is a seriously good pilsner that’s widely available.
Fun fact*: Carlsburg gave Niels Bohr a house with a tap straight from the brewery for winning the Nobel prize.
Edit: * maybe not a fact.
I did a Sweet 16 bracket elimination contest for regional IPAs a few years back just to force myself to identify the ‘good’ ones and eliminate bad ones. Even after doing that, I do a little dance any time there’s something else available.
Wow, that sounds awful. Happy to live in a place where I can get good beers and a variety of them.
Even more luck need if you dare like dark beer.
I guess I’ll always have Guinness and negro modelo. but I crave variety.
Some brewers can’t help themselves. Even when they brew a style that would traditionally have low IBUs they bump it up by about 10. Lagunitas totally messed with Newcastle Brown Ale once they got their grubby hops-loving mitts on it.
