Just one of those "beer snob" things. The hipsters and "too cool for other styles" folk. It's taken over the liquor stores and bars/pubs. Every brewer attempts to outdo the other. "Let's make the most bitter beer we can." Irony- in the brewing process, an IPA is not as artful a craft as a well balanced lager. It was the swill beer shipped to British workers in India. Throw a bunch of hope in at the end and bigger the shite out of it so it survives the ship.
