Maybe some butter beer with butterscotch schnapps in it.
It would be so sweet you’d never expect it had alcohol in it.
Or, if you’re ok with 7up you could try gin and tonic.

Maybe, but why search that hard just to drink alcohol?

Does anyone else who hates IPA (like me) like ESB (like me)? I like ESB.

Like both. Probably more than I should. ESB has to be enjoyed at room temperature, near a wet dog. With a Scotch back, but just sipping.

I like IPA. I sometimes feel a little lame ordering one, since it has become such a fad, but where I grew up, IPAs and similar beers were what we had, 20+ years ago before they were all the rage. I have never been a lager guy. But I understand how if you grew up that way, an IPA is probably gross. Much like a bud is gross to me. Some of us also actually like raw oysters, and aren't just trying to be cool.

Side note, not really a fan of the hazy trend, nor the ultra quintuple hopped overwhelming beers. I like a traditionally sharp IPA, probably most generally described as a "west coast" IPA.

IPA’s used to be my go to, but now, give me a good weissbier and I’m good to go.

This is me. I don’t mind the taste of IPA, I mind that when I go in the beer store it’s 80% of the beer. Dank or hazy, get that junk out of here. There’s something in them that makes me sick. Like I drink 2 and I’m hung over without getting drunk. Drink 3 and puke. That sucks.

I can (and do) drink Dale’s Pale Ale, preferably from the Colorado factory, and this random microbrew out of Dallas called El Chingon. Oddly, I have no issues with DIPAs, I prefer Sierra Nevada Torpedo or the corresponding seasonal DIPA to El Chingon, which is La Chingona.

Keeping in mind I’m a working stiff who enjoys yard work and tinkering in the garage, I’ll join @derg and happily throw down with a sixer of PBR, Miller High Life, Lone Star, or Coors Light. Only so often, though because I don’t want to get even fatter, and it’s super easy to drink 3-4 of those at a time being that they’re basically just water.

You know why IPA was originally created, right? Same reason hot sauce was originally created.

Hint: neither initially had ANYTHING to do with marketing to the non-established yet widely-advanced epicurian tastes of "hipster" influencers.

Extra help hint: What words do the initials in the abbreviation "IPA" stand for?

Extra special, short-bus hint: pay attention in history class.

Duh.

Even if someone doesn’t know where IPAs came from it’s a very quick Google search away.

If you feel the need to educate people on the history of IPAs you could just use your keyboard to explain things rather than using it as an opportunity to be weirdly arrogant.

I very rarely drink on the road, anymore. There was a time...

Alcohol. I rarely drink alcohol. Blood, on the other hand...

Salad is not food. Salad is what food eats.

Ron Swanson is that you?

I read an interesting blurb a while ago with some theorizing about why the tendency to drink literal poison didn’t get evolutionarily selected against a long time ago.

People drinking booze in some form has been around for thousands of years, for various "reasons". Granted it's not really an equivalency, but in theory drinking insanely too much water can kill you too.

I’ll go by that for beer a lot of times but wine is another thing. I’ve stopped ordering it during the free hotel happy hours because it’s usually a crappy wine already that’s been open for a few days. Im not a wine snob by any means, but that stuff is usually undrinkable.

 

[///AMG]

^ Yeah, for me, a couple beers with dinner, I will feel perfectly normal in the am. Switch that with even 1 glass of wine? I'll be feeling like crap all the next day.

There was a Hornet guy in my new hire class at [redacted]. Man could that dude drink. Holy cow.

Oddly enough I'm the opposite. Wine doesn't really bother me at all but usually it's drank slowly over the course of cooking a meal and dinner and usually with water in between, so maybe that's why. Anymore than a couple of beers and I'll feel bloated, dried out, and like crap anymore.
