Craft beer market is oversaturated and needs less IPAs.
We need a "fuck ipas" comm. They've completely choked out any other type of beer: stouts, brown ales, hefeweizen... There's one mainstream brand of each and that's it. Then 1000000 IPAs.
I rant about this regularly. It's really bad where I live.
Yeah I'm in New England and it's insane... every bar/restaurant has like 12-20 IPAs on the menu and 2-3 other beers if you are lucky. I started drinking wine/cocktails a lot more because of this nonsense.
I stopped drinking them years ago. For some reason, all the hops started to make me sneeze so I gave up on them. It's super annoying when I do want a beer that isn't a macro brew. A lot of bars just have a shitload of IPAs n maybe 2 other craft beers. I feel like it's gotten a bit better lately.
I just want a regular ale. Amber, American, whatever the hops should be a note not the only thing I can taste for a bit.
I only ever see standard ales in the fall seasonals. they are out for like 4-6 weeks and gone for another year.
It's time for the pilsner uprising
Return to cask ale. Embrace tradition.
I have a need for mead.
I used to seek cask taps 10 years ago at bars. they are all gone now.
Bock uprising, ITYM.
IPAs are the French toast of beer; created solely to cover up the awful taste
I've always assumed that. I'm not a brewer but the fact every micro/nano makes like 12 IPAs def has to do with it being cheaper to produce or easier to market it as 'high quality' when it isn't. I used to like IPA 20 years ago, but now it all tastes like hoppy piss water, apart from a few breweries I trust... who also commonly make other styles and are not IPA-only.
but any of my local beer stores like 80% of the selection is IPAs w/ elaborate can art and 'funky' names or flavors. i'm also seeing a ton of 'themed' breweries... all their beers are named after cats, or sports, or some other thing. and their beer is always awful.
