Posted By: Waders Beer - Favorite Cheap IPA?? - 02/16/23
I know that we are all WAY too cool/classy/sophisticated to drink cheap beer, but...

What's your favorite cheap IPA and how much does it cost?
Goose island. $18/15
I like Goose Island for cheap IPA, $18.50-12 pack
Man Of Law from Southern Pines Brewing is a favorite and a bit more money. $14-6 pack

I had to look, yep it's a 15 pack!
All beer, up here, costs way more then you guys pay.

6 x 473ml tall cans $18.50

I hate IPA's. Taste like grapefruit or skunkpiss. Guinness is good beer.
Space Dust
While, I too, like guinness, there is nothing wrong with other flavour profiles !

Would suck the root, if everything was the same !
There aren't really cheap IPA's that I know of.

I'll be gentle and simply say those don't fit into the OP's subject. grin

Interesting - always have conversations with people who decry paying 17 bucks a 4 pack of craft beer but chug 5 dollar tappers of Busch Light at the bar all night.
Hellcat is as cheap as I go these days.
Double Crooked Tree on sale was 18 for a fourpack.
Normally 25 bucks.

Order 2 cases this fall.

I don't drink IPA, but my lad and his woman do. I keep Sweetwater Hazy on hand for them. I believe it runs around $15/12 pack

Same here. Not to mention, IPAs in CO go with millennial mountain bikers and Subarus.

I grew up farming. Been a trapper since I was 7. I've been a nuisance wildlife guy for 25 years. I guess there isn't much I haven't seen, smelled or tasted. But if you've drank an IPA you know what I mean...lol.
Don't know IPA but in my youth I probably drank enough Milwaukee's Best Light to buy a house..
bought lots of it for 99 cents a six pack ..
Same time frame the local little grocery store had a generic aisle just black and white can said beer it was like 49 or 59 cents a six pack. Never was brave enough to try it

No, they are all over sour IPA's !
I used to like the occasional IPA back before the wokies got ahold of it. Now all the "craft" breweries seem to be in some kind of competition to see who can over-hop their IPA's the most. Most you get now is hopped to the point that it most nearly resembles Listerine....the original kind, not the flavored, low/no alcohol sissy schitt sold today.

See if you can find some Anchor Liberty Ale or Harpoon IPA. Those are classic American IPAs that are not overdone.

I moved to Utah. No such thing as good cheap IPA.

Ill drink it when it comes in comes in a mix pack. Not my favorite. New Belgium, abita, gnarley barley, etc..

Sounds gay.

I don’t care for many IPAs. If I had to buy a six pack I’d probably go with Bootjack from Icicle brewing in Leavenworth Wa.

It’s about $12 a sixer

Founders. All Day IPA. About 20 bucks a fifteen pack
Posted By: MarkWV Re: Beer - Favorite Cheap IPA?? - 02/16/23
I know of no cheap IPA’s that are good. Two of my favorites are Deschutes Fresh Squeezed and Stone’s Tangerine Express, best in draft.

Same here or my home brewed IPA, 5 gallons for about $38
IPA beer if you're a yuppy!!!
Can’t imagine hilling taters with 12% IPAs in the heat I’d drown in the creek

I don't think I have ever seen a "cheap" IPA unless it was a brewery mistake.
In regard to bang-for-buck, San Tan "Moon Juice" was the reigning champ for a long time but prices have now matched the competition. So now, the best values to me are Coronado "Never Better", Belching Beaver "Phantom Bride", and for a little bit more Stone "Arrogant Bastard".
Voodoo Ranger
I like the higher ABV versions because of the more malty taste. But at 7% to 9% a couple is it for me.
Sierra Nevada Torpedo is fairly priced and good.
New Belgium Voodoo Ranger and VR Imperial are each very good. The Imperial preferably but a little goes a long way. Probably my favorite.
Lagunitas Maximus is another good one.
Southern Tier 2X IPA is nice.
Unita IPA is in the 7% range and is very fairly priced.

None of these have the pure grapefruit juice twang to me. And there are many more out there. IPA has turned into a horse race for brewers.

Adding to the above sentiments “cheap” and “IPA” are mutually exclusive. Maybe Busch will come out with a 12 pack for $7.99 Or a Natty IPA. I’d give it a shot. Anybody ever try the PBR American IPA that was out for a while??
Just for the record, I like IPAs, mostly those made by Alaska Brewing.

If you can see through it, I ain't buyin' it!

All beer sucks to me. It’s for college kids.

Only exceptionally well made whiskey for me thanks.
Toppling Goliath, clown shoes, wicked weed and pipeworks are all in my fridge now.

Nothing is cheap.

I drink em all. Tend to stay away from sours, but won't push away a free one.

Founders All Day is one of my regulars. Always in my fridge and always in my ice chest.

Lost Forty makes some good beer. I'm a regular there. At least once a week. Sometimes twice a week.
