@toonie @Alice Read this after buying beer, lol. There *are* plenty of good ones if they're your thing, but they need to come from breweries that actually give a shit about balance and not excess. Found myself gravitating towards SmASh IPAs recently, because there's nowhere to hide and requires some guts and a lot of trial and error from the brewer to craft a good one.

And they just *have* to be fresh. I'll spend an inordinate amount of time looking at packaging dates in the store to make sure what I buy is in its prime.

As far as market dominance goes, this is what I hate, because demand stifles style exploration and the diversity I crave...and not everything I cook pairs with an IPA.

Speaking of the UK, I could really use an English IPA about now, but they're extraordinarily rare for American brewers to produce. Bitters and Dark Milds are almost more common now. The latter are always brewed too strong, but I admire the effort at least.
