Westbrook hates: Beer Snobs and Hipsters with their stupid goddamn IPAs

[Westbrook36]

Let's face it. IPA's are the lifted truck of the beer world. Everybody who knows nothing about beer wants one, there are millions of them everywhere, and they are all terrible. Well, most of them. Some have enough malt in them to balance them out and make them quite palatable. But they are rare. Very rare.

It seems like all anybody cares or talks about anymore are IPA's. It's like you're "cool" and part of the "club" when you talk about hops making beer bitter. You go to the beer store, and it's all IPA's everywhere. To top it off, they aren't even good IPA's. They're all completely ****ing unbalanced, disgusting, bitter garbage, with trendy names like "Octopus Cat" and "Horse***ed Zombie" and everybody loves them. In fact most of them taste like somebody shot a cannon full of hops into Sasquatch's ***hole and then he **** them back out onto your face.

For the love of Christ, stop drinking this **** and creating a market for this festering **** juice. It is a typical hipster fad. I was at a bar and three jack-****s were talking about ****lickers IPA or whatever they were drinking. JF#1 is saying how it's good, but not as hoppy as ****slobber. They were making faces like they were drinking camel piss with each drink. I think it was called blueberry oatmeal horse**** beer. I heard the word "hoppy" at least a dozen times.

A close second to the annoyance of idiots talking about IPAs while holding their nose to drink them is your friend/relative who brews ****ty terrible beer and forces you to try it whenever you are in their presence. Hey awesome, you can buy a case of beer made by real brewers with real equipment, you can stop filling your bathtub with swill using your 100 dollar starter brewing kit. Grow up.

Love a good IPA, it's basically all I drink.

Stone, Sierra Nevada, Loose Cannon, and Dogfish Head among my favs. And no, I have never had an IPA that's "too bitter."

So I guess what I'm saying is "eat it, ya pansy with the bud light piss you probably drink."


Edit- I fully acknowledge that there are a lot of sub-par IPAs out there, but then again there is a lot of sub-par beer in general

I always drink Coors light even though it's crap. When my girlfriend was going to school in Colorado we made a trip to the Coors brewery in Golden, that place was awesome and the beer fresh was pretty damn good.

Ok, I'm not a drinker, so what in the hell is an "IPA"?

And anyone else find it ironic that Westbrook, an Eagles fan, is now starting a thread on drinking?

Basically a pale ale heavy on hops, typically high IBU and alcohol content.

Is it bad that I actuall agree with Westbrook?
I was in Annapolis for Turkey day, went to the local beverage store and what do my eyes behold, but a fridge full of macro cases, and a pathetic attempt at a micro-brew fridge dominated by IPA's, I finally walked away with a Boston Lager because there wasn't room for Winter Lager.

I agree that it is getting out of hand. Although I do enjoy a nice blueberry oatmeal horse**** beer with dinner on occasion.

I agree completely, there's nothing worse than beer snobs. I've only been over the legal age for a few years now so I just assumed these beer snobs had always been prevalent, so you're telling me that these beer snobs have been ushered in by the hipster era? Makes me despise hipsters even more.

A beer that typically tastes much worse than regular beer but has a ton more alcohol. And is typically made by a small/family owned brewing company therefore making it "non-mainstream" compared to regular beers that are made by massive corporations. Which leads to hipsters loving IPAs.

I've been saying it for years, IPAs are a good batch of beer ruined. Before refrigeration brewmasters ruined their beer with extra hops on purpose so it would make a journey across the world without spoiling.

Nowadays we have refrigeration. Drink a Lager and STFU. Thanks in advance

applause. Yes, I agree as well. I can't stand IPAs. 30/60/72 hour IPAs—they taste like dog piss to me. I can live without them. To each his own and all that but I've given numerous varieties numerous times and I don't like 'em

[boysetsfire]

Ugh. My friends are all about IPA's now. It's all they have in their fridge and they are all ****ing nasty. Just give me my Lagers and Stouts.

[Dr. Do Itch Big]

I have never heard of IPA's.

Drinking a Victory Hop Devil straight out of the keg as I read this thread. Mmmmmmmmmmm.....hoppy beer!

IPAs suck, and I too am getting tired of the trend. A lot of taprooms are buying into the craze which sucks. They are almost always terrible and have stupid names, and yes hipsters can't get enough of them. Blech.

Slide me a Yuengling or a Sam Adams and I'm happy. If I'm trying to be cheap I will even tolerate a light beer like PBR, and that is still a better option than an IPA.

If you really want to be a beer snob then you go German and ask for a Warsteiner or Weinstephaner.
