    I guess I've been a hipster since before it was even a thing! Been drinking bitter hopped beers since the 90's when I wasn't even 21, started with Sierra Nevada Celebration Ales every year and then started reading up on beers in between studying at Barnes and Noble in college.

    I like all kinds of beer and have been homebrewing for several years which is when you really start trying new things. I just really like hopped beers and a lot of the better IPAs aren't as bitter as you'd think but I ain't trying to convince anyone to drink anything.. Just like I shouldn't feel like a sheep for drinking it just because it's so easy to generalize things as what "hipsters" or "millenials" are into and anyone who likes what they like are just following a trend.

    I'd say wearing certain color combos that are currently "in" with the enduro crowd could be viewed as something to do for the cool factor, caring what other people think. What I am putting down my throat is not influenced by nor an attempt to follow any kind of crowd.

    Also, to really follow what's cool you should be drinking sours. That's the current "trendy" style. Come to Tustin Brew Co some time and you'll find a bunch of old dudes drinking IPAs, really not the scene you'd expect.

    Now back to staring at the clock until I can drink some IPAs this afternoon!

    Look people - I'm just saying 90% of what's posted in this thread is IPA. Comply or risk being ridiculed! (emo sad face)

    The Belgians actually understand that beer should have taste that you can taste. Trappist ales such as Chimay are proof of that.

    The Germans are a lost cause.

    It's kinda like recommending a certain type of partner to someone...everyone has their own preferences and will resist the suggestion of something different.

    Personally I can't stomach lager or pilsner because they are too bland. Others swear by them. My beer has to have taste. And preferably not the taste of formaldehyde. Plus, if you have to put a lime in it it must not taste very good on its own. :eek:

    To each their own.:thumbsup:

    Por eso estamos como estamos!

    Blah blah blah - Does that # mean you're "bitter" than me? :gag: ;)

    Absolutely! Belgian Golden/Strong Golden Ales were my favorite style for a few years. In fact, my first homebrew competition entry was a Belgian Strong Golden Ale at Newport Brew Co and I got 2nd place with that one.

    As I've said before, Belgians are acceptable because they do not use formaldehyde to make their beer and it actually has taste one can taste. :thumbsup:

    Bitterer. :sneaky:

    Well I'm going to delete all my post, not part of the cool crowd. I look for and enjoy trying new pilsners and shy away from IPAs. Have not acquired a taste and do not want to spend my time trying to acquire a taste. A nice cold kronenbourg while mowing the lawn is a perfect afternoon.

    Whenever Im with my father he is good for always wasting one of my IPA/Stout beers. Tasting them, showing his bitter beer face, then mocking the swill I drink. I gave him a Pilsner one day and it knocked his socks off, he loves em.

    It always helps to have a cold one or two when wrenching on the 4X4

    Food tastes better when cooked with red knobs!

    You would not believe just how elegantly that Wolf warms up a can of soup, or maybe a cheese sandwich (the extent of my culinary expertise)!
