Gatekeepers got tired of being (rightly) made fun of, so they made a new meme format that makes them seem justified
I mean if people would actually admit that new games have been declining in quality and stop pouring money into these lower quality games we'd still have high quality games on the regular.
But no everyone shit their pants when planned dlcs became the norm and jizzed in their pants so hard gaming corporations realized they can peddle half assed games and people will still shell out whatever price they demand
Let people enjoy things.
not my say to decide what should or should not be enjoyed, but IPA are the worst of beers and that is a fact
We have a saying in the brewing community, "don't yuck someone else's yum." Everyone has different tastes. Let them enjoy it even if you don't. It's not hurting anyone. And that goes beyond beer
The problem with IPA's is not that people enjoy them or that brewers brew them and pubs stock them. The problem is that there's so many of them, all purporting to be slightly different, that it's pushing out other kinds of beer. The amount of times I have walked into a pub and there's somewhere between three and seven IPA's and I ask if they've got any stouts and the answer is, "We've got Guinness."
Part of that is seasonal. You're not going to get a stout in the summer, just like you're not going to get an Oktoberfest in the spring or a Shandy in the winter. Like you said about IPAs, there are so many variations, they've become a year round beer. Other year round beers are things like lagers and ales. Comparing a seasonal style to a year round beer isn't a fair comparison
If you can't find a stout on tap in the winter, you're going to the wrong breweries
I definitely drink Stouts year round.
Personally my issue with IPAs is that so many of them are generic IPA that tastes the same as 75 percent of the other IPAs and everybody that successfully brewed an IPA things they need to open a brewery with a bunch of IPAs.
When I go to a brewery and the option is 7 different variations of IPA and a guest beer, I usually know that the master brewer doesn't know much else about beer.
Just because you drink them year round, doesnt mean most people do. They dont brew them in the summer because they cant sell them enough to make it profitable.
You definitely have a point there about only having ipas at a brewery. IPA is the easiest beer to make, and the easiest beer to hide any imperfections. 1 of our 2 main breweries in town basically only does IPAs. Took them like 5 years until they did something that actually was good and not an IPA
Might have been a wording mistake but I was replying to the idea that I wouldn't do it.
And there are breweries in my area that seem then year round.
