This thread fricking sucks and the only bad thing is I can't give you more than one downvote.

No worse than wine, coffee/bean, BGE, charcoal, etc snowflakes. The vast majority of ‘craft’ brews don’t cut it for my cultured palate. Budweiser is the King of Beers

Is the Sam Adams Octoberfest a craft beer? I like that one.

Hazy/juicy/NE IPA beers have been massively overproduced

Every brewery seems to have a half dozen of those type beers


It's as much about how quickly they can be produced as it is about the collective palate of beer drinkers. Breweries need to make money with the sq footage they have, quickly...IPAs are a great way to do that (as opposed to a BBA stout or something like that).

The people who illegally remove the tags from mattresses are even worse. The laws mandating mattress tags exist for a reason, and those sick fricks are killing Western Civilization when they unlawfully cutoff those tags! It's outrageous!

TBH, most people who actually know about beer aren't all about IPAs.


IPAs for many people are like peppers while the pepper people chase Scoville units IPA people chase IBU. Nothing wrong with a good IPA but many of them overshadow all the subtle flavors with a rush to producing the beer with the biggest hop bloom. Just like many drinkers of mass-produced American Pilsners many IPA "lovers" aren't actually beer lovers.

I tried to be a beer snob years ago. Found some craft beers I liked but most were to filling or to over the top in bitterness.

I just roll with Modelo Especial with a lime (if available) squeezed in. Not fancy but it has the taste I like without making me feel full after two.

I will gladly drink Miller High Life or Michelob if someone has it in a cooler.

This is the truth! I like a decent IPA, but most are over done. I'm in the land of great beer, and there are a lot of great styles out there besides IPAs. Most "beer snobs" are hippsters who only drink IPAs and only because its the in thing.

Not in almost a decade. IBUs have been dropped in favor of soft, hazy juiciness. You still have a few people like myself that prefer a west coast IPA to a NEIPA, but we're a dying breed.

My #1 style is classic saison, with pilsner a very close second.

But Craft beer is different than mass produced beer. I admit some people can be douchy about it "most aren't", but they are different. One is heavily adjunct and stripped of a lot of flavor for mass appeal. The other is very focused on the ingredients and can produce flavors that have very limited appeal. Both have their place and neither is wrong.

There are better ways than this to have someone pay attention to you. I know the shutdowns have been rough on everyone.
