Hide the IPAs and flannel or you'll have gravel roaming camp too.

Apparently the Ukraine supplies a not-insignificant portion of the barley used in U.S. beer and there's hand-wringing about beer prices going up. People thinking the price will increase of course means that it will whether production is affected or not. Bud, Miller, and Coors expect any impacts to be minimal to nonexistent due to their collective phasing-out of barley in the 1970s.

I'm surprised the industry hasn't run out of hops, given the radical trendiness of IPAs.

Define "trendiness." West Cost IPA has been on fire since about 2007. Swings and roundabouts for sure, but yeah, they are still here and are not going anywhere.

It seems that mt bikers HAVE to like IPAs and the IPA craze really took off and went out of control maybe 3-4 years ago. I had Breckenridge IPA in 1995, but IPA was merely one of a couple dozen styles of beer then. Look through this thread - maybe 80-90% of beers mentioned are IPAs. I have to laugh that now they have to be infused with fruit and other flavors.

You do you, people!

T-R-E-N-D-Y!

Fake news. Hazy's are the current IPA trend.

However .. West Coast IPA will never fully die .... at least not in SoCal.

I would not expect any IPAs to die. But I would remind people that there are many other styles of beer/ale out there that they may enjoy as well or better, although they won't be able to brag about their IBU numbers.. :eek:

Fair enough. Message me when your back is better and I will give you a full on tour of Orange County IPA's ... AKA .... the very definition of West Coast IPAS.

Woo! I’m one of the cool kids! :cool:
I burped a good one into Herzie’s face, and he tasted it a little. Was it yummy, Herzie?
