For a go-to/daily type of beer, price has to come into play.

It was really good and the word amongst you all is that EPO is really really good. <br /><br />I am the same on the ABV point and the wheatish taste. However, I have paid a little more for a nice Belgian like Duvel (the big one that has a cork), poured it into a champagne glass and my wife loved it! But yeah, IPA is the shit.Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06680473738547005786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-946321131424169528.post-21668856599311546232011-02-04T11:58:16.292-08:002011-02-04T11:58:16.292-08:00All I know is that IPA is the shit.

I decided too that if I'm going to drink beer I will absolutely buck up and pay an extra ~3$ to drink something that I love. I'm still in the new stages and am still trying every thing I can get my hands on, but Ranger is still my go to beer for sure. A little weak in ABV though. I can get Raging Bitch Belgium IPA for cheaper and it is 8.3%. The Belgy style though has a wheatish taste that I'm not a fan of. Hopefully you'll get the chance to try GZ's home brew EPO IPA. One of the best beers I've ever had hands down. <br /> You too keep up the good work!Luchohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07992289866901355978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-946321131424169528.post-75743366295723331362011-02-04T11:42:16.839-08:002011-02-04T11:42:16.839-08:00I did start out hoppier (I had a Green Flash West ...I did start out hoppier (I had a Green Flash West Coast IPA first - which is pretty hoppy), so my problem isn't as bad :)<br /><br />I think it has taken-off. San Diego's micro-beer community has really taken-off and still is. Ranger is new (I think) from a mainstream brewery who seems to have recognized the trend.<br /><br />You see Bud and some of the crap brew behemoths doing some kind of "ale." So yeah.<br /><br />I guess the point of my beer post was I like what I like and am over "trying something new."<br />Of course i have invested some time/money in finding-out what I like (and I am, in the end, open to new stuff . .. who's kidding who). <br /><br />I was telling JW the other day that Ranger may be my favorite "daily" beer (if I had one). It's solid. I was just being pissy the other day.<br /><br />Keep up the good work, my friend.<br />And thanks for stopping by.Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06680473738547005786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-946321131424169528.post-47137404599304361762011-02-04T11:02:38.216-08:002011-02-04T11:02:38.216-08:00Damn.

I have felt similarly but only when I start out with something extra hoppified and then move down. I had the Mendocino White Hawk IPA last night, not bad but they need to put it in a can. Since I am relatively new to the IPA scene, do you think that IPA's have really taken off lately? It seems like it's more popular than ever.Luchohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07992289866901355978noreply@blogger.com
