The Rise of the American IPA -- Craft Beer Economics

[@talkingwhiskey1507]

I’ve had some amazing IPA and some horrible ones. Excellent video. I really enjoyed this one.

[@DrHansBrewery]

It’s so nice having you back!

[@BeerByTheNumbers]

Thanks so much! Cheers!

[@mattpike7268]

Yeah, I actually almost forgot how awesome your vids are! I really like the historical aspect of them.

[@mattpike7268]

Your so right about variety, I love trying a different craft beer every night with supper! My local brewery has a 9.5% DIPA thats almost dangerously drinkable 🍻

[@BeerByTheNumbers]

Me too. Always love diving into a new brew experience. Cheers!

[@Jeremy-dd2jj]

Great vid. I make beer, but am more a stout fan. But I do love an extra hoppy ipa. Hipsters unite.

I don't really get IPA's. The don't taste good to me, yet they get their own section at my grocery store. There are a hundred "different" IPA's to choose, yet only one or two sours. And in the basic beer section, it's mostly Lagers. There barely any diversity. And the only joy to be had with the explosion of IPA's is the cool artwork they often display. It's a damn shame. I don't see why they dominate. Often, they're more expensive than other beers.

Used cascade today on my first homebrew! We used cascade/centennial for bittering, finished with Idaho 7.

Excellent video as always. Here’s to Mr. Jackson may he Rest In Peace 🥃🍻

[@BeerByTheNumbers]

Indeed. Cheers to him and the great beer fans he inspired!

Just starting my IPA journey as I used to just drink lager 99% of the time. Today I'm drinkning some Camden IPA it's pretty good!

Bless IPAs. The perfect confluence of consumer preferences and manufacturing advantages. Did the industry build the style or did the style build the industry. Only Tolstoy knows for sure. Cheers

[@iamonky]

awesome!

[@dannyrascal9032]

Appreciate what you do! Cheers 🍻🍻

[@BeerByTheNumbers]

You bet! Anytime! Cheers

[@AnonYmous-jp8uu]

more isn't always better

[@brewsandbass5572]

Beer would be boring without IPAs.

[@BeerByTheNumbers]

Too right! Couldn't imagine craft without them

[@tylerpae6971]

Ipas are the new lager honestly ipa.is what I feel.beer should taste like I love it soo soo much

[@yearginclarke]

Lagers for me.

[@brianlayne9742]

IPA's are meant to age, via hops preserve for travel. Its fun to age a few in a cellar for a few weeks or so.

[@jorgegomez6164]

Personally I hate IPAs the hype and taste

[@BeerByTheNumbers]

Fair enough, they are quite the divisive style as well

[@peterjohnson1734]

Far too many bars offer multiple IPAs on draft with few or none of every other style. No Lagers or Pilsners, but five varieties of IPA. Sometimes a customer just wants a real beer with a full flavor that's not overly hopped to cover for its flaws. And no, I don't mean Bud or Miller.

[@alejandroramirez4470]

Funny how it's mentioned in the video IPA was the style trying to be different but now to be different you have to drink styles like sours or browns. Blame the tons of hops available but beer is always an ongoing experiment.

[@StoneyardVineyards]

Love me some iPa, great beer for sure . Prost

[@BeerByTheNumbers]

Too right. Bold and Bitter Hops. Cheers!

[@UltraZelda64]

Meh... the lecal Giant Eagle used to have the best selection of beer. Every style you can think of, no one's tastes were left out. Now, their selection is about like Wal-Mart. Meaning, if you like mass-produced beer and IPAs. Not exactly good if IPAs are down there with macro lagers on your least favorite styles.

[@NickXtreme]

what is the difference between American pale ale & American IPA

[@SharkKowalski]

AIPA has more hops added and is more bitter than APA. "American" stands for type of hops (growned in US) and 'India' is for big dose.

[@alekpd2940]

Michael Jackson?!! haha
