Domestic beer?! If there is one impressive thing millennials have accomplished so far, it's putting a brewery in every neighborhood of every major city in the western world. Locally brewed beer has been having a really good couple of decades.
Domestic is typically classified as beer like Budwiser and Miller. You're describing craft beer which as you said it's doing great... For IPAs
gonna be honest "domestic" beer deserves to die
Hot take, Coors Light is better than the thousands of IPAs that seemingly occupy 95% of the craft beer market. Also, and maybe this is less controversial, I can get 36 cans of Coors Light for the price of 12 IPAs, and my mouth will be happier with each can of the Coors. Honestly, beer is a rental anyway, why drink IPA when there are Belgian ales, pilsners, and cervezas?
Because I like IPAs more? I'll fully admit that the market is way over saturated with the style, but people do still enjoy them.
As an Australian i support this position. In the US market.
It's the only legal way to kill ourselves and it tastes better than smoking.
As long as you like IPAs
While it’s true that IPAs are most common, there are plenty of choices, especially at this time of year when everyone makes a Marzen, then a pumpkin, then a holiday ale. One of the reasons I like my local brewery is the variety of styles they make
In my fridge right now
I know this - my husband is actually a small batch brewer himself - but IPAs very much dominate the market, which is what i was poking fun at
It's getting a lot better here in the NE, USA but it's still dominated by shitty fucking IPAs.
It's because IPAs are stupid fast to make. As a home brewer I can have an IPA done inside two weeks. That Scotch ale? It's probably close to done and has been sitting for 4 months. And don't even get me started on posters and stouts.
Is that why? It's the insta-pot of slow cooked meals.
One of the main ones. Couple with a bunch of marketing and you have a winner.
I don’t know if Millennials get credit for that. The legislation allowing it was signed by Jimmy Carter before these kids were born, and us X’ers did a lot more to get the industry established
