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

We keep this up for too long, we might see something like this pop up.....

I tried to make one once but there were no bubbles in the airlock for 12 hours so i dumped it.

I like beer.

I hate beer!! That is why I spent lots of money and time brewing it, so I can take it in the backyard and dump it out while manically screaming "I hate you!!!"

You can only get real IPAs in India.* That's why there is so much mystique. It's like you can only get real Haggis in Scotland - thank god for that!

* You can, however, get Indiana Pale Ale in the Midwest - and you can get Indianola Pale Ale in Mississippi.

My first choice will always be an authentically-brewed Canadian IP Eh, but those are hard to get year-round, since fresh maple syrup is seasonal.

I don't always talk about what kind of beer everyone is into, but when I do, I talk about them being into IPAs.

I don't always see, but when I do, it's what you did there.

That the most interesting post in the world!

So far I vastly like this thread better than the other one. At what point does IPA, and the discussion there of, get its own sub-forum?

Or maybe we just sticky one of them and then we can shut down any new "what's the deal with IPA" threads.

Bravo. With a meme pic that woulda been gold.

 

[Hello]

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.

Neat stats! What's the source?

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.

Stop confusing the issue with data...

Because of hipster scum being too cool for IPA and needing to bitch 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!

 

[losMythos]

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

 

[blizz81]

I sit to pee most of the time.

[drainbamage]

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.

:turtle:

 

[Roadliner]

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.

EDIT: :turtle:

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:

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

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

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?

also...
