Why is everyone into only talking about why everyone is into only IPAs?

Neat stats! What's the source?

I get an email blurb from the Brewers Association.org, and I've seen the data on several sites. The main source of market data comes from a company called IRI. They are the ones that tabulate a lot of the market sales information from producers and retailers, calculation of market shares, etc and whatever info they can pull from cash register UPC scanning data.

The top five styles, in order of dollar share, are IPA, seasonal, Pale Ale, variety packs and Amber Ale.

IPAs account for 24% dollar share, and the seasonals are close to 16%.
IPAs grew 49% in dollar sales in 2014.

So for I.P.hAters, be thankful that the IPAs are driving growth in the craft beer industry, and therefore availability of ALL styles. We can all drink to that!

Move along, this subject is dried out.
Somebody post a thread about a fermentation maybe being stuck.

Stop confusing the issue with data...

Because of hipster scum being too cool for IPA and needing to ***** about how they are too cool for IPA

 

[PlexVector]

Nah. I stand. Can't sit or my boys get dunked.

your poor kids...

Child abuse!

Hair products, red flannel shirts, tight jeans and huge beards = choking down sours to be cool....

I sit to pee most of the time.

I've had about 5000 beers, and I can say without a doubt that spiced ale is the best style evar. I read books to confirm while I was sitting down to pee. You IPA fanboys are EACs.

You must be reading the wrong books. I read more books about how IPAs are the best beer to drink while sitting down to pee with skinny jeans around your ankles and styling your hair into a top knot.

Love your avatar. Looks like that turtle is chilling out to pee in that beer.

I hope you don't mind, but I think I borrowed it from you.

On a different note: Is the little guy standing or sitting?


edit: I just noticed that's his tail, so the little guy is actually drinking the beer...Go :turtle:

 

[Roadliner]

I'm gonna go with... lounging...

So this has become the thread where we lobby Austin for a :turtle: now?

...because I'm not opposed to that.

Does it change anything beerwise if the cat is climbing into your pajamas while they are around your ankles as you sit on the pot?

B: "Without the universe we'd have no sense of proportion."
C: "Obfuscation Through Unintended Agreement."
D: "The only good pun is a bad pun."
E: None of the above.
F: All of the above.

Wouldn't F: All of the above.. include E: None of the above?

The paradox is resolved by quantum mechanics somehow. Similar to late hopping an IPA.

BTW...

It's makes me mad when people like stuff. Especially when they like it the wrong way. People should be miserable instead.

Herding Turtles is a lost art...Kinda like malt forward beers.

Ipa's use malt too. Alot of it compared to some other styles.

Malt forward...you mean like DIPAs instead of IPAs?

Nah, I'm thinking the dude has freakishly long arms and that's a selfie. No woman in her right mind would respond to that request.

Nah.. that's too simple. It has to be more elaborate. Maybe a camera mounted to the wall using knex, popsicle sticks, and duct tape. Wired to a sensor that would pick up a signal transmitted from the cat's collar. The guy was probably sitting there for 3 days waiting on the cat to finally lay down in his pants, which he had laced with catnip.

Yeah.. that sounds more like it.

:turtle:

Nope, just one healthy sized selfie-stick Japan style.
