http://houstonbeerguide.com/karbach-brewing-co-celebrates-5-year-anniversary-with-quintuple-ipa/

YEA RIGHT YOU CAN HAVE MORE IPA AND YOU WILL LIKE IT

quote:

On September 1st, 2011 Karbach Brewing Company sold their first keg of beer. To commemorate the 5th anniversary of this event, they have released a new beer: Quintuple IPA. The “Quintuple” portion comes from the repeated use of the number “5” in the brewing process. Quintuple IPA is brewed with 5 different malts, 5 different hops (plus an extra dry hop addition), 5 different types of fermentable sugars, and 5 different yeast strains.

Ipa used to be the only type of beer that you could count on to not be skunky trash, or not a lovely mass made lager or pilsner. Thanks to the increase in craft brew popularity, you can dislike ipas and still not be a drooling lite beer drinking mongoloid

ahh, ipas are ales and ales are a lot easier to make than lagers. like, if you started a little homebrew operation, my guess is youll either start with amber, pale, or ipa

Ipa is a hoppy beer, i.e. bitter/citrusy.
Craft beer is anything that isn't some variant of Miller/bud/Coors.
Ipas are craft beers but not all craft beers are IPAs.
Like I said, 99.9% of craft beer is overpriced garbage but there are good ones out there.

Anybody who can get $100k-500k depending on where it is can start a dumb "craft brewery" and make an okay IPA with a googled recipe. But it takes more than that to make a good IPA. No I am not going to spend $12 on a 6 pack of boring IPA that vaguely references a local landmark, I can get Two-Hearted for that price and Bell's makes actual interesting beers too.

Still never managed to get Dogfish 120. Porter in Atlanta had it but it's like $50 and gently caress that.

IPA is just a type of beer. craft beers are, by definition i think, not either miller coors or budweiser or their subsidiaries like blue moon. in the american sense

like if you cant buy it in a 30 pack, its probably a craft beer with a few exceptions

there was a liquor store near me that squirreled them away. theyre....different. 12 dollars for a 12 ounce bottle. its very alcoholic, and the alcohol basically overrides the flavor

I'm thinking I'll count Sam Adams as a non craft too because they make garbage beer on a mammoth scale to the point that they have set up terrible hidden brands under their name, the most egregious being the stupid Traveller line of shandies with moustaches on them because that's what the kids are into these days right? Sierra Nevada was around long before Sam Adams and they haven't strayed from the path.

the brewers association actually raised the limit of how much beer you're allowed to produce from 2 million gallons to 6 million, just so that sam adams could still call themselves a craft brewery

craft beer is a misnomer at this point between that and all the fake microbeers that anheuser busch produces

In Sam Adams' defense there was a massive hops shortage a while ago and they let other random local smalltime breweries have access to their hops at cost otherwise those companies would have gone out of business.

The hip shortage was partially artificial from Bud buying up as much Cascade as they could, blocking access to smaller breweries. That's also why there's been a huge influx of New Zealand and Australian hops in American craft beer.

i think what youre referring to as regular beer is the domestic lagers, weak rear end pilsners. those are legit types of beers but by their scale of production theyre not, by definition, craft brews.

its production by gallons, like somebody upthread said

Local IPA's are a good way of getting good and woozy for $10

At least in parts of Canada where microbrews cost within 50˘ of Coors or Bud- that distinction came up in the last Beer Thread when goons pointed out that their local beers are way more expensive than macros.

Anyway, the most disgusting beers known to man are Melon Beers, like what the gently caress

Okay this was very cool of them to do that. Even better for PR too, like that time some secretary at Coke stole some product in development and offered to ransom it to Pepsi. Pepsico called the FBI and played along until they got whoever it was, and they were able to make a great press release about "we just want to play fair."

Having a Dale's "Stovepipe" can now. Had one on draft earlier, also a Lagunitas IPA. All fine picks.

I used to get the Sucks 32oz jugs for $7 at whole foods in Atlanta. Those were fun and dangerous, no idea if they sell them where I am now.
At a bar I used to drink at in Atlanta there was a bartender who was present in Petaluma during the Undercover Shutdown sting. I am told he is at some craft brewery in Atlanta now. I should try to stop in next time I'm there. Cool dude who gave me a lot of free Branca shots and discounts, but i'd still always spend a shitload and overtip there.

Any beer darker than a corona is bitter and disgusting. Like any "acquired taste", it's just people convincing themselves it tastes good because society expects it of them. Same thing with steak that isn't well done and hard liquor unless it's mixed so much that you can't tasted it anymore. You'd acquire the taste for literal dog poo poo if you worked hard enough at it, and you would if eating dog poo poo was cool lmbo

So many bad craft brewers say "IPA MEANS HOPS" and don't put any effort into making a balanced beer that doesn't taste like burned garbage. Sometimes you find a good IPA but they are rare and elusive.

But I just buy Old Milwaukee by the case because after the first two I'm not gonna give a gently caress about the gentle fruity notes and subtle undertones of chocolate and cum in a beer that cost four times as much per bottle.

Tomorrow is the first day of October, and that means every drat brewery is going to release their version of an Octoberfest beer. I have never in my life had an Octoberfest that didn't suck out loud.

German Oktoberfest with a K beers are the only good October anything beers. That and Bell's, which tastes like a German beer. German lagers in general are superior to American lagers except for a few cheap garbage brands like Beck's and St. Pauli Girl.
