Maybe BB was drinking that when trading away Collins?

Have tried quite a few and have a beer app on the phone where I grade beers, when I go to the liquor store there are so many choices usually rely on my grading system from the app.

Sometimes I go to the local micro breweries, and am very disappointed in things like "bitter lemon beer", "Blueberry infused beer", "chocolate infused beer"... most of which taste like crap. Beer makers should stop their feeble attempt to try to market beer to women and try to cater to a larger audience who really like beer.

The market is flooded with really crappy beers right now.. I like the idea that I can ask for a sample before I buy a pint.

Is there a whiskey app?

I bet it's bitter.

Coach, can you describe the flavor to us?

Not real bubbly but ultimately a consistent winner.

Maybe it's a combination of me having just turned 21, barely drinking, and growing up in a bourgeois college town, but I've actually noticed way more pandering to people who like their beer as bitter as possible. Everything is an IPA, as far as I can tell.

Seriously though, is there a single beer drinker on this board who would NOT buy one? Even if it sucks, the can would remain in a place of honour in the house. Now I have to figure out how to get one up here.

I am an IPA fan who is almost 70, was speaking to a local brewer who claimed that IPA's were my demographic.. that is why there is so many flavored beers available to appeal to a younger crowd and to appeal to women... they certainly do not appeal to me.

Yeah, the IPA craze...not my thing either. Lagers and Pilsners are good in my book. I'll have to track down some of the OP beer, just to try it.

There's a "fake IPA" in Canada called Alexander Keith's...though they were using the IPA name for well over a century before the IPA craze started in the craft beer industry. That's a decent beer.

I'm not sure it's an age thing necessarily. My father is similar in age to you and can take or leave an IPA. Now he doesn't do the fruit flavored beers, nor do I. Those kinds of beers do tend to appear to younger people, but more specifically in the "hipster" or related demographic, from what I can see.

I grew up in a constantly gentrifying, hipster town and am finishing up at a college that's an even more extreme version of that environment, and I can say that fruity stuff is generally frowned upon. Those are actually the IPA (or pseudo-IPA) lovers I was referring to in my earlier post. My dad, who's 41, also loves IPAs.

I've found that most people, myself included, who prefer the fruitier things (although I can't really drink too many because it hurts my teeth and makes me nauseous, which is probably why people hate them) don't actually like the taste of beer or alcohol in general. It's just trying to make beer something that it's not. It would make more sense for people who don't like beer to just not drink it, which is what I do.

Interesting...you're on to something now that I think about it. My wife doesn't generally like anything alcohol related, but she's an occasional drinker of those fruity beers.

As for hipster-types and IPAs...huh...shows what I know I guess.
