    Craft beer

    Are you talking about overly hopped IPAs? Because there’s “craft beer” versions of every style of beer that exists

      I do hate that IPAs took over the craft beer scene. There are other good styles.

      Not op, but yeah. If I wanted to drink a literal handful of hops I’d make a hops shake.

      I like some craft beers that recognise that beer has more ingredients than just hops.

        I was recently at a trendy store, and they were selling hops-flavored (non-alcoholic) seltzer water. I finally had to admit that some people must actually like the flavor. I figure these people spent years associating the flavor with alcohol’s feel-good brain chemicals, but I’m just guessing.

          I mean, if you want a similar flavour and don’t want to drink beer, just stuff a fresh nug of weed in your mouth. You probably won’t even get stoned due to the bio-availability quirks of THC.

        I hate IPAs, but there are some absolutely amazing amber craft beers out there. I’ll take that over a pilsner any day
