IPA burnout

[Silver_Is_Money]

I recently drank some seasonal Great Lakes Brewing 'Ohio City Oatmeal Stout', and it's excellence made me all the more convinced that IPA does not even rate by comparison.

It merely reflects one single example of my personal opinion (conclusion) that the balanced intermingling of malts (and occasionally un-malted grains and adjuncts) in conjunction with noble type hops which are in balance is overall far more agreeable to my palate than any beer which emphasizes a balance disrupting overload of grapefruit predominated hops.

There's no IPA burnout. You guys never liked IPA's to begin with!

IMO, Stouts are generally not "balanced". They are malt-heavy.
"Balance" in beer, like many other things, is a subjective thing that varies from person to person.

I served a mango cider at a brewfest this year and one of the ladies tells me "Why would anyone drink beer when they could drink this?". I know she meant it as a compliment, but it was hard not to laugh.

I know people who don't like anything sweet and a few that act like they are dying from a faint trace of capsaicin, whereas I seem to be drawn to all intensities equally. It boggles the mind that there is such huge variances in the same gene pool.

It's simple - those of us who can appreciate a good IPA are clearly a few steps higher on the evolutionary ladder than the Neanderthals who don't like them.

It is strange, but I think that this would be an incredibly boring place if we all liked the same stuff. What would we have to argue about then?

I have to ask OP how old are you and whats your favorite style of beer? Serious question don't mean any harm, just curious.

Yep

I grew up long before craft beer existed when everyone drank BMC and Heineken was considered premium. I still like my BL's and have no shame about it. I got into craft beers with Sierra Nevada and got the itch. I've been drinking mostly IPA's and different lagers since then and that was a long long time ago and loved every bit of it for years without burning out on anything

So to answer your queston:
Bud light
Stella
Lots of other lagers
Reds..(Smithwicks)
Ipa's
Octoberfest beers
And hate any beer that taste like coffee

Hope that qualifies me as someone whose been around the beer block and knows when he's hit the wall on a beer style....and if it doesn't the thread was about myself getting IPA burnout and I'd like to think I'm in control of my own tastebuds

You're more than qualified! Like I said no pun or negativity in my question, just curious. You were drinking IPA's before i even knew i liked beer, I could see why the burn out would come. Especially when IPAs exploded and every brewery was playing into the IBU war. I only have a couple years in the craft beer scene, right in the middle of the whole IBU war. I'm glad I'm in it now though to see the start of the whole N.E style IPA (Im a fan as well) and how that just blew up overnight is crazy.

 

[Silver_Is_Money]

I'm a retiree, and I was drinking beer for a good number of years before the Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. existed (and got the craze going big time). The first craft beer (if you can properly call it that) which I took a huge liking to was Fuller's ESB. It's still a favorite of mine.

I got hooked on SNPA when i was ~19 y/o (circa 2001) living in southern california. The costco by me sold cases for $20. I think a 36 pack of keystone light went for about $15 at the same time.

I didn't even know what it was when i bought it. The first one was a bit harsh, but i was hooked by the end of the first pack.

Now i can't even drink the stuff because its too watery.

I don't hate IPA's I hate bitter for the sake of cramming as many hops into a beer as you can! I ave a 41 IBU IPA in the kegerator right now. Low end of the IPA bitter range, balanced, drinkable, I am not happy with the recipe 100% yet but for my own recipe not bad.

I hate when someone brings up a new local brewery and the first thing someone else says “no thanks, I’m not into ipas”

/facepalm

I enjoy a broad range of styles it just pisses me when most of the offerings in a local brewery are ipas and they either A just flat out suck or B have weird ingredients just to be different

I get the whole brew what sells but jeez make one or two ipas that are great not a bunch of swill so someone can have a flight of ipas to post on their multiple social media outlets

We just had a new craft brewery open in town that 'specializes' in sours. I ordered a whole flight of sours and they all tasted like lemon/vinegar. there was no complexity. I couldn't even tell a few of them apart except by color. I was so glad they also had an IPA to wash that nastiness out of my mouth.

Which brewery?

Also, if a brewery has 10 beers on tap, 8 IPAs that sell like crazy and a stout and an amber that move slow. Why would the brewery make less IPA and more beer that doesn’t sell?

 

[lump42]

My go to is my house ale, a Extra Special English strong bitter(3 different people have put it in 3 categories, brown, ESB, plain biter...). Simple recipe, everyone likes it, great malt backbone...

First off - styles don't really matter, a rose by any other name and all that. But if you need to put it in a style, it's way too strong for a bitter or even a best bitter, and it's not really bitter enough for any of the English styles (depending on alpha content I make it 26 IBU, so BU:GU of 0.5?). Sounds a little bit too sweet for an English beer, USians generally seem to think English beers are sweeter than they are. And cask beers are rarely over 4.5%, things like ESB seem to be far more common in the US than in the UK.

You could just about call it a Scottish Export (leaving aside what I think of BJCP guidelines for Scotland ) but that hop bill really points to something on the Continent. It would need a change of yeast really, but you're not far off things like patersbier and marzen.

If its the house beer, MaryB should just start calling it something different, like a Minnesota Bitter or Minnesota Mild.

I brew for myself and friends, no way am I turning a fun hobby into a job!

I pray one of them is not their chocolate cherry bock. God forbid. I hated that beer.

Dude, you are spot on with that assessment, freaking horrible stuff (I can't bring myself to call it beer.)

 

[Starderup]

It has been a few years since I would willingly purchase an IPA. It's a terrible fad, and I just won't participate. I have had a couple that weren't bad, but, no thanks.

 

[day_trippr]

"fad"?

 

[Starderup]

"fad"?

There, I said it.

 

[schematix]

Hazy IPA is a fad. Tongue thrashing crystal clear mega IPAs are coming back!

 

[Starderup]

I think all of them in the last 10 years or so is a fad, but the hazy is just the poster child. I just don't enjoy tongue thrashing beers, and I decline to consume them.
