IPA's are definitely a bit of an acquired taste. Many today are hopped very heavily.
Lately I've been enjoying more balanced pales.

I have a BIL that is something of a yuppie beer snob. His descriptions of whatever brew he is currently championing are pretty damn funny to listen to.  Mathman? I will try damn near anything and certainly don't turn my nose up at domestic beer. The high and mighty liquor critics crack me up. It'd be funny to see one up to a cooler in the back of Montana pickup and declare, "Oh tisk tisk, I won't be drinking any of that light beer. You wouldn't happen to have any Bavarian Nutmeg Friztlesprout would you?" Haha...no not Mathman. A good cold Budweiser or Bud Light suits me fine, but like you I will try about anything. I do like a good bottle of Scotch but drink the cheaper stuff most often and save the good stuff for special occasions. I think lots of folks just like the quirky names and cartoon labels...

Lately 10 Barrel's Joe IPA has been my fav. Lot's of grapefuit hints. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.davidsonsliquors.com/media/catalog/product/cache/2/image/1000x1330/d0abd60b1ebaab657f68ba9b11e40d4e/2/4/24317_1.jpg)

I'm a fan of the Red Racer Session Ale's out of British Columbia. Not sure if you guys can find it down there, although with the current exchange rate it's probably cheap if you do!

My curse is the fact I like almost all beer. Me three. But those fugkin' IPA's have probably sold more Bloody Mary's than any other beer in history. Dave Nice thing about IPA's for me, is the fact that I can have one or two and be happy. It is the Bud/lite/Coors and distilled stuff that get to me.

That is some fine stuff. Cannot get it here, but always bring some back and partake when we are in S. Cal. Visiting the brother in law.

Sam,
Big Sky Brewing in Missoula makes a similar "IPA Lite" called Pygmy Owl Itty Bitty IPA. It doesn't taste as good as a real kick-ass IPA like Tumbleweed, but is kinder if you drink more than 2-3....

AB has had those for a while at Busch Stadium in STL. Novel, and the cap/magnet in the bottom was a little souvenir

Surprised Bells Two Hearted Ale hasn't been mentioned. Best India Pale Ale I've had. Pace yourself, 7%!

I swore off of New Belgium after I saw their CEO, Kim Jordon on the news praising Obama and Obamacare. I then looked up her political contributions and you see lots of money to just Democrats. (search here on her name - http://www.fec.gov/finance/disclosure/norindsea.shtml and you'll see not just in her name but in the name of the brewery). Too many good beers out there to support liberal brewers.

Hard to beat this one. Vortex, but I'm a sucker for anything with the Simone-Amarillo hop combo. ![[Linked Image]](http://i955.photobucket.com/albums/ae35/Heavywalker/491A6223-9B9A-433D-9E67-D862C559304B_zps1joxt4yj.jpg)

The high ABV of most of the IPAs is what turns my nose up to them.When I drink beer, I drink beer and my alcohol tolerence is low.No need to get hammered along the way.

I drank a lot of imported beer before the craft craze hit. Gotta say I'm really enjoying it. IPA's are a favorite and I usually have several choices in my fridge. Another hot thing right now is the Barrel Aged Stout thing. Expensive, but oh so good! You Guys are posting a lot of good beer, many of which I have tried.

Pugs, I didn't know that about New Belgium! I like their Fat Tire beer, but now that you have enlightened me, they'll get no more of my money. Thanks for that info.

Do I need to drink it with a [bleep] doyly and a candle, or does one guzzle from a moped? And here I thought Schmitt's Gay was an urban legend, along with Danny Terrio and the glass table..... No. You can start drinking it by taking your boyrfiend's cock outta yo mouth. It's some of the best beer in the world, you phugkin moron. You're just too phucgking stupid to know that. They've been making it for about 500 years, ya know. BTW, I'm in FL. We got palm trees here and sunshine. Maybe if you crawled out from under your seed brain rock, you'd know that. You ever wanna come down and take a ride on my moped, you come see me. I'll PM you my address. Ckunts like you are the problem on this board any more. Come see me [bleep] and we'll see who the [bleep] is, you punkass phugk.

If any of you ever make it to Whitehorse, Canada try this stuff out The Yukon gold is some of the best beer I ever had.. http://yukonbeer.com
Then STFU. The rest of your statement is superflous bullshit with no real bearing on this discussion other than to massage your own ego. Suckin' on my titties like you wanted me.
