    Ngl everytime I see IPA my brain translate it to isopropyl alcohol and I was literally confused about the phrase!

    Other Half is a LEGENDARY brewery. They just name things so weird to get attention. I went to their location in Brooklyn when I was in NYC at the start of my brewery crawl and was already buzzed when I left because I love their beer too much. I actually had their base Broccoli beer when I was there! Just a juicy imperial IPA!

      I’m surprised this is allowed. Europe has fairly strict rules against displaying food that’s not actually in the ingredient list. I guess in the US it is allowed?

        There is a lot of weirdness. For a long time now, anything alcohol doesn’t have to list its ingredients

          Well, yes and no. There are strict regulations on what you can call your alcohol, especially if it’s distilled. Beer has to be made with malt or a malt substitute. But anything else added will not be included.

          Also, every beer/cider/wine/etc label also has to be reviewed and approved, and it can’t be misleading. One thing that is not approved is obscene imagery, which is why you don’t see pornographic or overtly sexual labels.

    I guess it could be like beer cheese soup? When beer cheese soup is good, it’s really good. But you wouldn’t use an IPA for that. Usually use a pilsner.

        This is part of why I don’t drink any more. What happens if you find your new favourite thing and it was a joke that will literally never be made again?

        but mostly because I kept getting sours that sounded amazing but where consistently the worst thing I have ever tasted

    Any plain can with a sticker has that taste.

    If you’ve ever home brewed you know exactly what I mean.

    on top of that they’re always the most expensive beer in the store.
