    Well given that they’re the most hoppy of the common types of beer, that reason for not liking them is hardly surprising or in any way illegitimate 🤷

      Which is exactly why I think it’s an unnecessary and boring thing to talk about. If someone asks them, they should just say no I don’t like it. Instead they volunteer the information and emphatically state the reason as though it’s a surprise or unique in some way

        They’re probably just trying to be helpful, you know… You sound very aggravated about them simply stating a preference and the reason for said preference.

        If someone were for example to offer you an overly sweet type of confection or cake, wouldn’t you similarly answer “no thanks, too sweet for my taste?”

          No one is offering them an IPA or asking their opinion. You seem like maybe you’re one of these people? Since you’re ignoring what I wrote. They volunteer the information and then harp on it. I have heard this since I started drinking IPAs in like 2012. Ok we get it, you all hate my beer. I’m not talking shit about their awful sour beers or whatever, I keep it to myself unless asked.

            Nope, I’m not “one of those”. While I too don’t like beers to be too hoppy, it’s not something I go out of my way to tell people like some crazed stereotypical vegan 🤷

            I can see how that would get annoying in the long run though and I’m 💯 with you on sour beers lol. Second worst beer I ever tasted was a gose and the worst wasn’t an IPA either lol

              Yeah it definitely gets annoying. It’s at the point where if I’m drinking with 3 new people, I expect at least one person to ask what I got and if it’s an IPA tell me how much they don’t like it. It’s been going on so long and it’s uncanny how often it happens…

              I’ve tried sour beers and usually they are god-awful. I think I had a drinkable one once. I mention them here though because it also feels like a trend that the same haters of my beer will often be drinking a sour beer lol. In my head I’m like “welp your opinion is confirmed completely unreliable on all beer”

      But of the near-infinite number of things a person dislikes, they only meme about a couple. The Internet loves an easy target…
