They still suck.
They were never supposed to be good in the first place! Excessive hops are just meant to be a fucking preservative! Imagine someone thinking they made food better cuz they loaded it up with extra potassium bromate.
Anywho, created this thread just to rant about a brewery I went to with this bumble babe. They served a lager, a sour, and eleven IPAs. Fuck those fucks.
So I said babe if you wanna hang again then meet me at the Stockman’s bar in North Park and I’ll buy you some Coorses. Oh, and bring a Bowie knife too.

Re: IPAs
Assuming not many of your "Bumble Babes" take you up on the second date?
Re: IPAs
As a fan of IPAs well before the hipsters found it, I think that Coors tastes like what I imagine the urine of someone who has imbibed one too many IPAs would taste like. It’s not like the brewery doesn’t know how to make tasty beer. Just that the flagship beer is geared towards someone who doesn’t really care what they drink as long as it comes from a container which insinuates that it is beer.
Re: IPAs
I've had a few good IPAs but most are gross, fattening and leave you with a morning headache. I get that the volume of different varieties of hops out there leave it as the best candidate for creating something "different" but I have been cheering for the beer industry to move on from this IPA phase for more than a year now. Enough already, let's get to the next thing.
Re: IPAs
Boulevard pale ale is/was prob my fave beer. Ever since a particularly sentimental night way back when I was…uh, twenty-one years old.
But even that is a bit much for me any more.
Now Boulevard Irish Ale is my fave. Spring seasonal but could drink it all year. Can’t find it in CO tho. Although most liquor stores carry Boulevard it’s mostly just like Tank 7, various space camper IPAs, the super strong quads in 4 packs, and wheat beer. No Irish tho, sigh.
I hardly drink much any more anyway. And if I do it’s like one lite beer

Re: IPAs
I like boulevard so much tho not just sentiment but for the longest time their lineup of beers were actually beers - a wheat, a pale ale, a porter, a stout, etc.
Now most breweries are like have an IPA, a double IPA, an imperial IPA, a double imperial IPA, a hazy IPA, a fruity IPA, a session IPA, a double imperial hazy fruity session IPA, and a sour.

Re: IPAs
The thing about IPAs is that they can cover up fuck ups and are often easier to make. So that, along with the craze of the last decade, is probably a reason why so many breweries make mostly IPAs.
I prefer a clean Pilsner or a red lager but IPAs are in the rotation.

Re: IPAs
The six packs I generally pick up when I hit my favorite beer shop:
My go-to favorite is Cornstalker Dark Wheat beer from Thunderhead Brewery out of Kearney, NE.
Sierra Nevada's Wild Little Thing is a good sour that I enjoy as well. I liked it so much that I tried a bunch of different sours but have mostly hated every other one. It's been harder to find lately.
West O Coco Chocolate Stout is a great end of the night dark beer that isn't too heavy.
Brickway Brewery's Raspberry Hefeweizen is clean and light (for me). Good stuff if I want to have more than one beer.
Prost Hefeweizen for a decently authentic German Hefe. A sentimental reminder of trips to the Prosit bar in Frisco, CO I used to hit with my father-in-law a lot when we were in the area.

Re: IPAs
Guinness and Sam Adams Oktoberfest would be on my list as well. I'd drink a Miller Lite if we were on a golf course because it's usually the only drinkable beer they have.
