      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.
