Yeah, there’s stuff earlier in the thread about people who bitch about IPA/hoppy beers “ruining” the scene, all the while neglecting that they have four times more beer of all other styles available to them, even if there are 16 times more IPAs available. Drives me batshit. STOP WHINING, YOU ALREADY HAVE MORE.
I’ve been living La Vida Cerveza since arriving stateside. I was having some beers while staying at my Mom’s place in Idaho, but now that I’m in California, I’ve hit the Karl Strauss tap house, and even had a great afternoon at Stone Brewery yesterday. I tried their new recipes for the Pale Ale, IPA, and Smoked Porter (might not have been new, but it was new to me).
I need to pick up some weird stuff to drag back to Japan and have on standby for the craft beer nerds in Osaka.
