    Thanks for the explanation.

    If that’s your thing, have at it.

    Went to a local brew pub and they were sold out of anything BUT IPAs. There were only 3 non-IPAs and 8 or 9 IPAs. So I wondered, has the market decided in favor of IPAs?

    But then, they sold out of everything else?

    So where are we in relation to ‘peak IPA’, before or after the peak?

      Hmm I’d say the craft beer market is pretty heavily dominated by IPAs right now, and that could either be because they’re trendy or in high demand. I feel like theres been a heavy IPA craze for a long while now, but it’s definitely been getting bigger and bigger as the craft beer scene has been exploding all over.

      Could we be past the peak? Perhaps, but i don’t think so. I personally find IPAs to be the most interesting brews because the flavor balances can be so delicate, which could also be the sentiment with other brewers.

      Though i do get not ALWAYS wanting an IPA, especially when you’re trying to knock back a few (or more lol)
