People don't drink alcohol for the taste. They drink it for the effect.

You start by drinking it for the effect then you become condition to like the taste, Just like how stoners love taste of weed but everyone else says it smells like a skunks ass. Not a bad thing btw.

I drank Zima a few months ago when they tried to make a comeback and it really do just be watered down Smirnoff so I can see why it failed. I know how Smirnoff tastes too because I'm a faggot.

For me, it’s beavertown

then why not drink the most effective alcohols such as spirits
or drink something with the same % as beer that tastes nicer

Because it’s an opportunity for social events and having a slow effect with a session rather than getting blind out drunk immediately

Unlike these other anons, i will not shame you for your choice in beverage. Id still think you were a cool guy even if you drank a mikes hard lemonade.

How do people even get drunk off of beer

I assume you're American, but I checked and it is available in UK... at least to order.

My gf's dad only drinks Mike's Hard Lemonade. That's it. He buys cases of it and drinks it everyday. If he goes out to a place and they don't have it, he gets either root beer or a coffee.

Lord Hobo Glorious is the best IPA I've had that fits that bill. If you see it in a store or at a bar by you, try it out. You won't be disappointed.

West coast - Russian River and Lost Abbey makes great sours. Try Supplication or Framboise de Amorosa

Midwest - Upland, any of their sours are good honestly.

East Coast - Not too knowledgeable, try Wicked Weed I'm sure they're easy to find now.

Also consider goses and berliner weisses. They're more tart, refreshing, and even salty. Westbrook Gose and Modern Times Fruitlands are staples.

Northeast, more specifically northern NJ

That's pathetic.

>According to Camra ‘In the early 1970s we coined the term ‘real ale' to make it easy for people to differentiate between the bland processed beers being pushed by the big brewers and the traditional beers whose very existence was under threat. "Furthermore that ‘Real Ale must contain at least 1 million yeast cells per millilitre."

german lagers are the best beer hands down. change my mind

It's not a law. Campaign for Real Ale is just a consumers organisation. In the 60's lager was introduced, and a lot of international breweries bought up the majority of UK breweries. People missed the local traditional beer, cider and perry. Camra has done a lot of good for the UK pub industry, it's the largest single issue consumer group.

i don't know about that but it's not subtle. people say the same thing about coffee not really having a flavour and it's more about the smell. i don't really get it but whatever.

IPAs are the shittiest fad. They are just overloaded with hops. You fags just drink them because everyone else does.

Coffee is unique though that the smell of roasted coffee is nearly universally liked, yet coffee is love/hate with people and even those who like it still are divided on just having it black or adding creamers and/or sugar.

Stop drinking american piss lagers like Budweiser. Hefeweizens are good too. IPAs are for hipsters who think more flavor means better beer.

I like them because they generally have a higher alcohol content

That actually makes it great, faggot.

Inner city hipsters are to blame. Majority of rural americans drink something like Bud, Coors, or something else similar (all basically the same)

That's not unusual for a stout m8. ABV =/= flavour

And if I want more alcohol I will drink scotch, gin, bourbon, or vodka. Not some shitty IPA

Americans also created craft brewing

There’s good kinds of any type of alcohol pretty much man why do you care so much what other people do

well you actually said 'little flavour' not flavourless so that's me putting words in your mouth, which is where beer should go instead.

Don't drink at shitty bars. And ask for it neat when you can. That's how you should be drinking it anyways.

Prolly nuthin

This. If you order a signature cocktail for $16 at some trendy place that has about 6 ingredients in it, don't be surprised when it has little to no booze in it. It's so that people who don't know better are like "omg it's so smooth, like you can barely taste the alcohol in it, it's so dangerous." So that way they buy more of them and the bar makes out like a bandit since the drink skimps on the liquor which is what you're paying for in the first place.

How do you guys decide which craft beer to buy if you've never had it before? Do you just browse BeerAdvocate, looking up all the reviews for the beers in the styles you like? Do you read any of the marketing copy that sometimes comes with the beers in their shelf space? Do you just buy from certain breweries you like? Do you like the names of the beers or their label artwork? I'm so bad at this. I just stand there looking at the beers for like 15 minutes and then pick something I know nothing about and hope it's at least ok.

I think "more flavor" was inaccurately worded, but an argument can absolutely be made that "more hops =/= a better IPA."

Ever heard that too much of one thing is a bad thing? And you wonder why Americans have gone crazy for IPAs
Nope. I meant that just adding flavor doesn't make it better.

>Nope. I meant that just adding flavor doesn't make it better.
oh well you're an idiot then.

That is the point with the IPAs. More hops=more flavor. Which I don't think makes it better.

>If I keep adding shots of flavor to my coffee it will surely make it better

i don't know what you're talking about and your argument doesn't make sense.

Pretty simple argument. More =/= better

I use Untapped. Eventually you get a palate and know what you like

this is completely subjective and not worth getting annoyed about.

What else would it be? Not much competition is there

Based and extremely redpilled. This stuff should be standard on tap instead of Pale.

If you go into a bar and the bartenders are properly trained in whatever stock they have in they can reliably tell you what it's like. Other than that, reviews or forums? Though I'd imagine the people in such places would be bigger twats than the ones you see in real life. People are into them since it's not the same shit everyone has been drinking for years, supports small businesses etc. As much as a cunt you may feel like someone asking what new drinks are good is far from the worst person you can encounter in a bar

Why do people unironically act like IPAs are god tier beers? I am a big beer drinker and can appreciate most different types. But IPAs literally taste like you are drinking fucking grass clippings or some shit.

It actually is annoying that some of the highest rated beers in the world are overhopped imperial IPAs. It's a complete meme that they're seen as holy grails manna from heaven.

They are trendy faggots who agree with whatever is the popular fad at the time. Or brainlets who think drinking it makes them seem superior

Some of us like our beer to taste like beer. IPA lovers like their beer to taste like their boyfriend’s semen.

>IPAs literally taste like you are drinking fucking grass clippings
that's a great analogy i'm using that.

>but it has a lot of grass clipping flavor which makes it better

Scale of 1-kidney failure imminent how bad is it that that's the same color and consistency as my piss many days?

I usually say it tastes like a cat piss and potpourri.

I usually just say it's like you're sucking on a pine cone. Some people take that as a recommendation though.

No, your assertion was that flavour is terrible
It's a mild curry, often shit, but a good curry house will make it with flavour.

i like grass clippings because i've had that in my mouth from playing sports on new cut grass and it's a lingering unpleasant taste. it conjurers to my mind instantly without consideration and it's very akin to some of the shittest ale i've ever had.

zoom zoom zoom

I think it's pretty simple when you boil it down to this: just because adding a flavoring agent/ingredient to something to make it take good, doesn't mean that adding more of it necessarily makes it better.

There is some truth to it user. For example when you are out at the lake on a hot summer day lighter beers that you can just slam down are far preferable to a thick beer that makes you feel warm.

Something about pale ales originally being shipped across to India using more hops as a preservative iirc

Because they are literally shit tier beers. But hipster fags like yourself try to pretend like they are the greatest beers ever. Im convinced 99% of IPAs are sold to unsuspecting people who just buy them because of their faggy flashy labels

The larger amount of hops used in it was used as a preserving agent from brewing it in the UK and having it shipped over to India which at the time took a ship like 6 months in all sorts of heat and weather for the stuff to be stored in barrels.

No, thankfully. It was a happy accident from october ale shipped by the East India Company to India. EIC later requested a brewery to make a similiar hoppy tasting beer.

currently drinking a Peroni Gran Riserva Birra Doppio Malto. bit grass clippingy for my taste but i'll wind it down.

Ohhh. So this is the type of ale poos used to drink way back when due to shipping issues. Thanks anons.

Im pretty sure IPAs arent exactly fucking popular user. They just genuinely taste like shit

How is this? Recently its been catching my eye at the store and ive been thinking of trying it.

Poos wouldn't drink it really, it was for the fine British officers who were stationed there.

If you like Bourbon barrel shit, give it a try. I loved that and their CBS.

If it's not obscenely priced, go for it. Or if they have it in singles or a bomber, go for that to give it a try. It's very good though, especially on a colder day.

For me, it's Birra Italia
>followed by a chilled Cynar to sip on afterwards

are you shitting me they've been all the rage the past few years
go to any bar and the newest microbrews are more often than not ipas
i don't have a strong opinion about them either way
for me, if it has alcohol, preferably lots of it, it's awright

Mostly for british workers, gentleman would be more likely to drink wine.

Yeah its like $14. Which is one of the reasons i havent tried it yet, since I typically end up just getting a six pack for $9-$10

...

>something with the same % as beer that tastes nicer
Such as?
Freshman drinks like hard soda and mixers have so much sugar that you'll be physically sick before you're intoxicated (though females manage to do it anyway, no idea how), and the milder options like hard seltzers are expensive and have much less variety than beer.
A nice thing about beer is that you can pretty much drink as much as you want without going into a diabetic coma or getting drunk too fast.

no, he's just based

If you aren't memeing, you're an idiot or you live in a cave. IPAs are an absolute MUST for any brewery since they can overload any batch of hops, use some marketing magic, and people will flock to give they new place a try. They're oversaturating the craft market because of their popularity to the point that even the most divey hole in the wall will have a craft IPA on tap.

They still arent popular. Its mostly the faggy hipster crowd who likes the smell of their own farts. If you are talking about beers popular among the masses its still typical shit like bud light and coors.

what movie's been better this year?

Read IPAs are by no means a popular beer. Except for supposed beer snobs.

>females can somehow do it
Its because they get drunk easier in general. My gf starts getting drunk around 3-4 drinks. Whereas im barely even feeling it after a sixer. Although I will admit some of the not as sugary hard ciders can do the trick and taste pretty damn good.

And the reason they are so common is that they taste the closest to shitty mass produced lagers.

I've never left the stout train since I started drinking a decade ago

I agree they are common. Way more than they should be. But to act like they are the most popular is absurd. Most normal beer drinkers, who drink shit like coors, arent going to enjoy an IPA. It will be way too much.

That's the thing though. People who like Bud/Miller/Coors is one thing, but as soon as you start talking craft beer, IPA is usually at the forefront of any discussion. They are by far the biggest selling among the craft market. Just go into any store and see how much shelf space is dedicated just to IPAs in the craft section.

Yeah, I never buy actual drinks from bars anymore.
Even at 'nice' ones your drink will be 90% mixer, even for recipes that are supposed to be strong. If you get something they can't kike you on like a Long Island they'll put it in a minuscule glass. I don't understand why they're so stingy when the raw markup for a proper drink would still be insane.

I think its mostly because IPA faggots are the loudest regarding their "superior" tastes in beer.

Ive always heard this, but never experienced it. Every bar i go to they load up on the liquor. And on the one or two occasions they were light on it, a little joke about how the drink was weak was all it took for them to stsrt putting too much liquor honestly

Seething porter neck beards can't handle it

Who /bluelabel/ here?

nightclubs are notorious for it.

Based

can I fuck Kelli?

>Most normal beer drinkers, who drink shit like coors, arent going to enjoy an IPA
The equivalent in the UK would be people who drink carling, carlsberg etc. In my experience the only real ale they'll drink is a pale ale, occassionally a golden ale. Many will also drink brewdog and other craft beer swill.

>drink an IPA
>feel bloated and like I just ate a meal

thats why I dont like them plus it just taste like hops. no nuance

Ahh. Yeah i never go to nightclubs. Just shit like bars or restaurants

>doghead ipa has such a superior blend of hops than swill like flattire
t.faggots who drink ipas

See my father is a casual drinker who only really drinks budlight. My favorite all around beer is shiner bock, just a basic bock style beer. And my father says "its too dark for me". No way in hell would he ever enjoy a fucking IPA.

tried it at a bar once
it's in no way worth the ridiculous price

Don't forget the trick of putting well liquor in the premium bottles. Highly illegal but more comman than anyone's willing admit.

Overrated. For the same price you can get Dalmore King Alexander

Never been to a bar that offers blue label. Would be surprised if its genuine

I’ve never gone to a nightclub and bars and restaurants pull this shit all of the time to me

why do hipsters here care so much about what other people drink?

you enjoy blue label at home with friends, not at a fucking overpriced shitty bar

lmao nigger where do you LIVE?

I like craft beer but I've never understood the IPA meme

Are high priced whiskey like this actually drinkable on their own? Like i have tried just drinking it straight and its always rough. But of course nothing nearly as expensive as this stuff

why do posters here care so much about what other people watch?

The place was kind of fancy I doubt they were ripping me off
I thought it was black label when I walked up to the bar shitfaced but they were like no it's blue label and I said whatever just give me a shot and a beer.
The guy was like 'uh you sure sir it's expensive'
and I found it kind of offensive so I just said whatever handed him a bunch of bills and got my drinks. I don't remember what it cost.

>implying I'd pay for an entire bottle of that swill
lmaoing

there are drinkable whiskeys starting at about $30 USD. like crown royal. or black label. or chivas regal. anything lower than that and you generally want to mix it

i haven't mixed whiskey in years. or even chased it with anything. i used to be able to finish an entire bottle by myself. i don't do that anymore

Yes, absolutely. Do anything other than drinking it neat/drops of water/big ice cube is a huge disservice and a waste of money

The ONLY thing worse than IPAfags in the beer world are Pappyfags in the whisky world.

What does it taste like? Everything ive had tastes like motor oil or some shit.

No my assertion was that too much flavor is terrible. Which is why I said IPAs are terrible. They all have too much flavor.
I can agree with that. That was basically my argument. Everyone who said IPAs are great only back it up with "they have more flavor". That's why I was saying more =/= better

Whats a pappyfag?

Not at all. Bourbon is much better though. Gin is better than both

its hard to describe and depends on what you get. if you're really interested, try one of the ones i mentioned. johnnie walker black label is what got me into drinking whiskey.

pour some in a small glass, add an ice cube and just sip slowly and occasionally. it's a fantastic drink desu

If you're looking to not break the bank but still have a decent whiskey, I'd go for Four Roses bourbon. Scotch has too many variations that you may hate, so unless you're going for a sherry bomb, an Islay scotch would be the absolute last thing you should try. Memes aside, that stuff like Ardbeg/Laphroig/Lavavulin is the most polarizing stuff even for people who love whiskey and scotch.

Pappy van Winkle is a distillery that makes bourbon that is highly sought after in any of its iterations. Prices on the secondary market are so hyper inflated it's a complete joke. I've personally bought a 2 bottles of 15 year old for $65 each and 2 of 20 year old for $90 each from a local store, kept one of each for myself (gave the 20 to my dad as a gift,) and found a buyer for the other 15 year for $600 and the 20 year for $850. People act like it is the be-all, end-all of bourbons, and the hype surrounding it makes it like the gold standard of any pissing match of who actually has a bottle and where they got it and how much they paid for it. It's a meme for people with too much time and too much money and after all of that the bourbon itself is very good, yes, but there's stuff out there that's more readily available that is better and far cheaper than trying to get a bottle from someone reselling it.

I actually have tried this
