    Craft beer

    Are you talking about overly hopped IPAs? Because even ignoring that some people legitimately like those these’s “craft beer” versions of every style of beer that exists

      Not op, but yeah. If I wanted to drink a literal handful of hops I’d make a hops shake.

      I like some craft beers that recognise that beer has more ingredients than just hops.

        I hate IPAs, but there are some absolutely amazing amber craft beers out there. I’ll take that over a pilsner any day

        I was recently at a trendy store, and they were selling hops-flavored (non-alcoholic) seltzer water. I finally had to admit that some people must actually like the flavor. I figure these people spent years associating the flavor with alcohol’s feel-good brain chemicals, but I’m just guessing.

          I mean, if you want a similar flavour and don’t want to drink beer, just stuff a fresh nug of weed in your mouth. You probably won’t even get stoned due to the bio-availability quirks of THC.

      I do hate that IPAs took over the craft beer scene. There are other good styles.
