    Ngl everytime I see IPA my brain translate it to isopropyl alcohol and I was literally confused about the phrase!

    Other Half is a LEGENDARY brewery. They just name things so weird to get attention. I went to their location in Brooklyn when I was in NYC at the start of my brewery crawl and was already buzzed when I left because I love their beer too much. I actually had their base Broccoli beer when I was there! Just a juicy imperial IPA!

      I’m surprised this is allowed. Europe has fairly strict rules against displaying food that’s not actually in the ingredient list. I guess in the US it is allowed?

    My family knows I like IPAs but to them IPA just means the can has a weird design on it. Normally they’re good but one time they got a bunch of triple milkshake IPA and I can’t stand those they’re like canned bread.

        and indeed that’s literally the whole point of beer, and since both beer and bread uses yeast you can use the same yeast for both, efficient!

        Depends on who you’re buying them from. Most of them have fruit or are heavily hopped and need to be refrigerated. I’ve had tons of good milkshakes in a can, but I gotta make sure they’re fresh, or I’m storing them in the fridge for less than a month when sharing.

    I guess it could be like beer cheese soup? When beer cheese soup is good, it’s really good. But you wouldn’t use an IPA for that. Usually use a pilsner.

    Any plain can with a sticker has that taste.

    If you’ve ever home brewed you know exactly what I mean.

    on top of that they’re always the most expensive beer in the store.

        This is part of why I don’t drink any more. What happens if you find your new favourite thing and it was a joke that will literally never be made again?

        but mostly because I kept getting sours that sounded amazing but where consistently the worst thing I have ever tasted
