I never acquired the IPA taste. Too bitter. I like a good Pale Ale that isn't as bitter as a Sierra Nevada. Bell's Midwestern is lesser known, but I like it. I'm drinking a Detroit brew right now. Atwater's Dirty Blonde. Not bad. First six pack I bought of it.

Millennials love the IPA's. Bell's Two-Hearted is about as famous as their Oberon now. To each their own, but I wish the regular Pale Ales aren't forgotten.

Ten years ago, I’d have said I liked IPAs, but not now. It’s not that my taste changed. It’s that finding one that hasn’t followed the trend of catering to bitterness-machismo I lamented in my first post is so hard now.

I’m still partial to most of the offerings from Samuel Adams, though lately I’ve been drinking more beers and ales from Samuel Smith (from the other side of the pond — maybe its because I’ve got a daughter settle in York now — though I always liked their brews) I just tried their Imperial Stout for the first time a couple weeks back. Outstanding!
