IPA's are like someone took the worst part of beer and made it the only part of the beer.

Oh, no...I like IPAs...does this mean you guys are gonna make me go back to Reddit?

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm afraid so. Enjoying an IPA is simply unconscionable in the Lemmy hive mind.

Seriously though, I like an IPA once in a while myself, I just wish the local store had a little more selection

It's not a hive mind, it's a central consciousness

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

It's a collective consciousness

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

It's a federated consciousness.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

It actually is more of a hive mind than reddit. A decentralized consciousness.

Resistance is futile.

No, you'll just be the lemmy nerd and be bullied about it.

Yeah, alcohol. IPAs taste like bitter piss as much as lagers do but at least with IPAs I get drunk faster and don’t put on as much weight.

For anyone who likes IPAs anyway, their low alcohol versions do tend to taste a lot more like real beer than any low alcohol pale lager does.

What types of beer would you recommend?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Personally I'm more of a pilsner guy. I just hate the bitterness of IPA's.

Bitter is the flavor of hops. IPA's are made with a ridiculous amount of hops. I prefer beer with lower amounts of hops.

Bitter is the flavor of hops.

It very much depends on how you apply the hops. New England style IPAs aren't bitter at all (very low IBU comparable to some pilsners in fact), even though it is probably the type of beer which has the most hops added. The hops are added in the form of aroma hops, which usually provides a citrus flavour instead of the bitterness of bittering hops.

I wish that was how American IPA's worked. 90% of them are bitter af. Like I'd rather eat an entire grapefruit than drink the average American IPA
