So long as they aren't sour beers, I'll drink 'em.

Aw .... a good Lambic is totally worth it.

A lot of what is labelled "sour" in America ... not so much.

I prefer bocks, but I'll drink just about anything if it's made well. There are a few sour ales I like, and a few pilsners, a few IPAs, a few dopples, a few hefes, even a few lagers...given enough time, I can usually find one or two of each category that I like.

So, on a somewhat serious note ... the problem with IPAs in my opinion is that most of them aren't very good. There has been an arms race with a lot of IPA makers and instead of asking, "How can I make a better beer," they instead ask, "How can we HOP THE S*** OUT OF THIS AND MAKE IT INSANELY BITTER???"

It's like if people who made spirits decided that the only "real" style for spirits was an Italian Amaro, and instead of making the many delicious ones we have, all they did was try and make Fernet-Branca, but ever more bitter.

I love (really love) bitter flavors, but I am unimpressed with the vast majority of IPAs.

This is why I have moved towards American Pale Ales as they tone it down and are not expected to double or triple hop the hell out of you.

BEHOLD!

....now if I can only find some Ham Beer to mix it with .... OH WAIT!

Combine the two, and you got yourself a Belgian Hawaiian!

So what you're saying is, beer is actually a pizza?
Interesting.

Of my homebrews, my Jalapeno IPA is the clear fan favorite. It's a cheaper beer to make too. Just simple Chinook and marris otter malt. Add Jalapenos (cut and de-seeded) at secondary fermentations. Bottle and enjoy.

Hyperbole. Now that's a concept people are real selective about.

Is beer pizza?

Of course not! Beer is so much better for you.

It is a low calorie beer with actual flavor.
