    Domestic beer?! If there is one impressive thing millennials have accomplished so far, it’s putting a brewery in every neighborhood of every major city in the western world. Locally brewed beer has been having a really good couple of decades.

      Domestic is typically classified as beer like Budwiser and Miller. You’re describing craft beer which as you said it’s doing great… For IPAs

        While it’s true that IPAs are most common, there are plenty of choices, especially at this time of year when everyone makes a Marzen, then a pumpkin, then a holiday ale. One of the reasons I like my local brewery is the variety of styles they make

        In my fridge right now

        • marzen
        • “festbier”, spiced German ale
        • Boch
        • esb
        • and of course an ipa

          I know this - my husband is actually a small batch brewer himself - but IPAs very much dominate the market, which is what i was poking fun at

            It’s getting a lot better here in the NE, USA but it’s still dominated by shitty fucking IPAs.

              It’s because IPAs are stupid fast to make. As a home brewer I can have an IPA done inside two weeks. That Scotch ale? It’s probably close to done and has been sitting for 4 months. And don’t even get me started on posters and stouts.

      I don’t know if Millennials get credit for that. The legislation allowing it was signed by Jimmy Carter before these kids were born, and us X’ers did a lot more to get the industry established
