This article on IPA's for people who dont like IPA's. There isnt one regular IPA on the list! There are 2 IIPA's, a pale ale, IPL, and a BARLEYWINE?! Although I do agree that 8bit could pass as an IPA, its still a pale ale. :smack:

I have that same problem cause I drink Milwaukee's best sometimes.
For some inexplicable reason my perfect shower beer after a day at the beach is Natty Ice. I do hear about it though when my son sees the cans in my beer corner. Something about spending the day out in the sun demands a crap beer for the first one.
Funny thing overheard from a nearby table at the local watering hole, which happens to feature lot of local brews:
Guy 1: I see the board says $3 drafts, but which ones?
Server: All our drafts are $3 tonight.
Guy 1: Oh, good. I'll have a Coors Light.
Guy 2: You're an idiot. I'll have a Sun King Cream Ale.

I don't get the hatred for Shocktop and Blue Moon. I'm quite fond of both of them, despite knowing that they're owned by the big international conglomerates so often called "BMC"...

Bored on my lunch break and read a "12 Things You Didn't Know About PBR" article I stumbled across. The first comment is talking about how it is the beer of choice for Goth/Punk/Metal concert attendees and how he has been drinking it for over 10 years. His next comment: "Only Bud/Coors Light is cheaper and I won't touch that swill."
Had an interesting conversation with a neighbor not too long ago. Got to talking about beer, mentioned I brewed it, and offered to give him some.
Me: So what do you normally like? Just BMC stuff, or other things? Malty, hoppy, big, easy drinking?
Neighbor: Oh, yeah, I like hoppy.
Me: You like the hoppy stuff? Great. Me too. Good to find someone who's not afraid of a little pleasant bitterness.
Neighbor: Oh, I don't like it when beer is bitter at all.
Me: ...
I like miller the best cause it's triple hoppy!

A lot of the locals seem to hate on Stone for some reason. Granted, there are a LOT of other amazing beers in SD county, but Stone is very good IMO. Maybe people think they sold out since they distribute so widely now?

Nobody goes there anymore, it's too crowded.

I'm not a big Stone fan myself. Their IRS is the only thing to really wow me so far. But I do appreciate their beer philosophy and passion.
kind of like when Metallica started to get played on the radioA lot of the locals seem to hate on Stone for some reason. Granted, there are a LOT of other amazing beers in SD county, but Stone is very good IMO. Maybe people think they sold out since they distribute so widely now?
bingo its to mainstream and would hurt their street cred
kind of like when Metallica started to get played on the radio
their hard core fans started to say they sold out
Lars announced they had sold out, every show for the last several years
anytime some one or something gets popular, they have sold out
good beer is good beer and Stone makes good beer
the day stone sues their fans for cloning their brews i will eat my mash paddle.

I picked up a bottle each of Stone's Cali-Belgie IPA and Arrogant Bastard Ale this evening.
Yeah, they were a little hoppy for my tastes. But hey... that is Stones schtick.
I enjoyed the Arrogant Bastard more than the IPA, because the usual Stone in-your-face hops seemed like they were part of a beer big enough to handle them.
Out for dinner last night. Asked the bartender what IPAs' they had. Only one, Ranger from New Belgium. Friend a few stools down said he had it once and hated it. Said it was bitter and another odd flavor.
I ordered it and after I had a couple mouthfuls he asked what I thought. Just said; This is pretty good, good body, nice clean hop flavor and aroma.
His reply, "This must be the problem then", and held up his bottle of Coors Light. "This is usually all that I drink."
