I live 15 minutes from Straight to Ale and Yellow Hammer brewery. I have been to Yellowhammer once...STA has my vote for best brewery in Huntsville. They have some INSANE seasonals, and some that you can only purchase on site and not in stores.
IPAs as a beer style (especially hazy IPAs) are very very sensitive to oxidation during packaging. Also most of these beers are stored warm at stores or sometime in their shipping journey. I’ve had lots and lots of ipas from craft brewers and the best ones are always served fresh from the brewery. If it’s in a can and you can’t confirm that it was always kept cold, then it’s not even worth buying. Once they get warm they are pretty much ruined. On top of that unfortunately many craft breweries have a tough time keeping DO (dissolved oxygen) out of ipas which will cause oxidation and a bad tasting beer when it is finally opened. A well brewed IPA that has never seen oxygen or warm temps might change your mind.(For context I work in production at one of the highest ranking craft breweries in America)
i swear you just need to find the right strain bro and it has to be temperature controlled and monitored at all times to be good bro i swear bro trust me
IPAs were formulated to be shipped in barrels on actual ships crossing half the earth in a time there was no real refrigeration available. It's a you thing there bud
@@williammontroy9024 Yes IPAs were originally formulated to have very long shelf lives. The high doses of hops in the beer do an excellent job of preserving the beer in a bacterial sense but they do nothing in preserving against oxidation. There is a big difference between a beer that is fit for human consumption and one that actually tastes good. I would imagine that early IPAs that got to travel across oceans without refrigeration tasted more like wet cardboard than a modern well balanced IPA
Before u slam down the glass of beer smell like you do but when u smell it keep your mouth open and then smell. It helps you smell what's really in the glass . Give it a go.
Tennessee.The craft beer scence is booming for some reason here around my home in Bristol,Tn.Ex NASCAR driver Micheal Waltrip just opened his restaurant here and he has his own craft beer.I dont do the craft beer or IPA's but for some reason everyone around here does.Yee-haw is a big one down the road in Johnson City aswell.There is also a "Johnson City Brewing Company" here too.Come give them a try and see what you think.Ill try them with you!!.
How to make an IPA: 1. Add 1 oz cheap vodka to a 12 oz can. 2. Fill to top with grapefruit juice. 3. Carbonate. 4. Put a trendy label on it to attract people who don't know what good beer tastes like. 5. Use words like "crisp" and "refreshing" on the can so people won't be expecting the overly bitter sourness that they are going to pretend to like.
IPA is India nPale Ale. Original from England as they shipped beer from England to India to the British Solders it was Better to drink as it was shipped. I love IPA and my British Wife of 50:years is from Sheffield…. enjoy IPA. 🍺
lol…. I hate grapefruit but sometimes those notes hit nicely. IPAs are usually not to be drank in plentiful amounts. A couple and go back to your all day drinker. That’s at least how I feel. My favorite IPA comes from Tampa Florida made in the cigar city brewery… Jai Alai! Give it a taste!!
Do a video comparing Lime and Salt flavor beer. Example: dos Equis, lagunitas, modelo, sol, etc. But only lime and salt flavor not adding lime to the regular beer
Every one of those looks amazing to me. IPA's and ales are the only things I will drink, other than a good Czech Pils. (Confession: I like Steel Reserve too, the only crap beer I like...my daughters give me shit for that).
The only good Pale Ale is a Sour. Automatic Fantastic Blackberry (or Blueberry) by South County out of York, PA is the best Pale Ale in the world. First 80% is just a smooth fruit juice flavor, with the aftertaste of a Pale Ale, without that nasty grapefruit etc you normally get from IPA's.
The problem with IPAs is that they are like the default "craft beer" style. Everybody does them, thinks that loading shit up with hops automatically makes it good, and have apparently convinced a solid percentage of the market that this is the case. Brand after brand of indistinguishable IPAs at the grocery store. Meanwhile, trying to find a WELL BALLANCED, refreshing, high quality domestically produced lager is like a unicorn. Pretty much have to get Bavarian stuff for that.
Mickies is the best outta ALL of em... And it treats ye right the next morning! That Steel Reserve got it's name from the fact that it Reserves the right to make your knoggin feel like it's been bashed in by a BIG OLE STEEL BASEBALL BAT!😂
I love IPAs the bigger the better or as I like to call them “full figured beer” something you can get your arms around. 😄 But like everything, you results may vary. Me I can’t stand those weird A sour Belgians. Fortunately these days we have a lot choices. Not like the pre-micro days when all we got were American “grey” beers. (Their tastes were all shades of grey). I now call them “cooking beers” great for simmering brats before I throw them on the grill. 😊
@@Ratedredmake this happen. I personally love IPAs, especially doubles and triples. Can’t stand Belgiums nor sours. That said, I love Dogfish head IPAs. Would love to see a non IPA drinker critique 60, 90, and 120s. They are so different from a West Coast IPA, he may, possibly, almost, like them.
Dubbel doesn''t = Double IPA so that 4th one wasn't an IPA at all. Belgian Dubbel Neither is really that last one, Belgian Tripel (not to be confused with a Triple IPA) with some American Hops thrown in. More than likely they made a traditional Belgian Tripel, and dry hopped it with American hops. Not really an IPA by definition. Just a dry hopped Belgian Tripel.
@@Ratedred Clever or not so clever advertising. It can't be a Belgian Tripel and an IPA at the same time. It's one or the other, not both. Throwing boat loads of American hops at a Belgian Tripel doesn't make it an IPA. But because people will pretty much buy anything that says IPA on it. I get it from a marketing perspective.
I.P.A otherwise known as Indiegestable Pain & Agony! Gotta agree with the Boss. Do Not Like The Headache in a Can that is IPA! Guh Damn That shut Sucks! ...IMO!
Myself I hate IPA’s. Can’t even think why anyone would want them. The one closest to where I lived in Alabama is the one from Birmingham. I lived in Anniston.
Brother, come up to Huntsville, straight to ale/yellowhammer are worth checking out. Can do other dumb millennial crap like axe throwing too? There's another one I'm forgetting, but quite a few around here
Had a buddy who'd buy mixed cases like what he's got on the table from a liquor outlet close by. For some reason, he got on the ipa train when it started trending back in the mid 2010's and sure enough, the one's that advertised a "coffee/chocolate/nutty" flavor taste like mud thinned out with orange juice..🤢 dont even get me started on the "pumpkin/extreme citrus" brands that were like licking a battery while drinking from a pothole in the road after it rains 🤮. He'd try and mask the aftertaste by describing it as "earthy tones" or "sharp profiles" but even my dad would give him sht for drinking them after trying one 😂 I'll never understand why people go out of their way to drink that stuff
Let me guess, all you guys drank Bud Light before The Event. I don’t understand why no one makes a premium Pilsner. Coors Gold and Miller 1896 were some of the best beers I’ve ever tasted but they stopped making them because everyone was drinking disgusting lite beer.
Can't stand IPA's myself. It seems all Craft Brews make them.They taste like Grapefruit, and I don't like Grapefruit. I much prefer Craft Chocolate Stouts.
I am not a fan of IPAs. I understand people have different tastes, but how IPAs became so popular I will never understand. At least around where I live they are starting to fall out of favor.

It's the hops
not all actually, some like orange or other citrus as well. Some hops give tropical fruit flavors too.

"Is discreet eye consult" a southern euphemism?
👀
I drink ipas because they are high in alcohol. That's it.
So IPAs are beer with fruit flavor? Closest i had like that is a blue moon and i didn't like it , i like my beer to taste like beer.
Some of the hop varieties used when making them can have a grapefruit-like taste.
Too be fair, Alabama isn’t really known for its IPAs, much less it’s beer

@alabamaboss needs to weigh in here.
Only two good ipas. Sierra nevada torpedo at #1 spot and voo doo ranger at #2 spot but only in bottles and must be ice cold. The rest is crap.

Don’t come to Charlotte, we have more micro breweries than middle school…. And they’re all horrible, every single one
You are the best fuck ipa’s it’s like drinking a pine tree
IPA's Are Hipster BS & All taste Like 2 Day Old Open Half Beers With Cigarette Butts In Them.
Shocked nobody's tried making a cigarette butt flavored beer.
The Belgian Dubbel does not count, that's not an IPA
I don't drink anymore but when u did i didnt like IPA

IPA's smell like vomit and taste like rotten citrus
IPA's are soooo '90s. Overdone
Beers arent supposed to have fruit or vegetable flavors to them. Beer should be beer flavored.

they go well with spicy food, very well
Idk bro my amigos loveee micheladas 😂
Suck beer
Come up Northeast try some real.ipas even though I hate em, fidens brewery, treehouse brewery, fox farm brewery
