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.

[@jonsmith9617]

Yellowhammer Octoberfest is pretty decent. Most of the STA I have had, has been too hoppy for my tastes.

[@bmac9936]

I saw the thumbnail and just came here to give it a thumbs up and a comment. Don’t need to listen to it to agree with it but I will. The only reason there’s so much ipa is because it’s made with a lot of hops. That stuff has to be cheap cause it grows like kudzu.

[@soonstrgzr]

Please serve up the boss some craft beer he would like ..Great video love ya boss!

[@sirhamalot8651]

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.

[@johnburger6774]

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.

[@ChrisDommel]

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!!.

[@williamweiss6128]

You are not wrong, bro!!

[@brandonhaddock6563]

Singing River Brewing is awsome... if you want to visit, let me know... im buying...

[@attacoustic5926]

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)

[@uchiigtana]

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

[@williammontroy9024]

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

[@attacoustic5926]

@@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

[@biggrocc19]

​@@williammontroy9024 you are speaking of a time when beer was made for utility purposes and not for quality or flavor. Yes, they added hops as a preservative to "survive" the journey. Yes, that beer also certainly tasted nothing like modern IPAs or even beer. It would have been heavily oxidized, sour, bitter, and tannic. But people drinking it were consuming it for survival not for pleasure.

I have been a professional craft brewer for just short of a decade.

[@ludedude5228]

There are three types of beer drinkers . First are the heavy malted dark European beers , Then the American club soda beers brewed with some malts and some hops . Then there's IPA which are hardly any malt but Heavy on the Hops . If you're into grapefruits then IPA's are da bomb " I personally drink Ghost in the Machine out of Louisiana from the Parish brewing company sold in only 4 packs - $16 The Best IPA in the world and I've tried them all 🍺 But then I was raised on pink grapefruits from our trees in the back yard . Pure heaven is this IPA . Drink 4 and close the door , because you ain't going nowhere and that's for sure 8.5% alcohol " what a buzz 😵‍💫

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. 🍺

[@brianwallace3980]

i'l never understand for the life of me, why tha hell ipas taste like grapefruit, and not even good grapefruit.

[@ELGlueckert]

It's the hops

[@alejandroramirez4470]

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

[@mOnStErMACEO]

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!!

[@James-oh1wp]

I LOvE iPA’s… my favorite style of beer . I also love eating grapefruits … enjoy the slight bitter finish

[@edgar3347]

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

[@hhaste]

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.

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. 😊

[@Converse-o4d]

Sierra Nevada

[@Ratedred]

He tried one in the California episode.

[@viper29ca]

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]

Hey man, we didn't write the label on the last one that said "India Pale Ale."

[@viper29ca]

@@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.

[@bsartist3373]

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.

[@The_Spiderrr]

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.

[@Ratedred]

Some of the hop varieties used when making them can have a grapefruit-like taste.

[@willwatson4040]

Yeah, American brewers have gone stupid crazy doubling and tripling down on the hops with IPAs

[@accuser_of_the_brethren7816]

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

[@accordv6er]
