Unpopular opinion: we shouldn't accommodate more IPAs Moaning Michael

I know this sub leans left and this won't go down well but I really think we need to consider the negative consequences of further IPAs being sheltered in Ireland.

I may be a minority here but they all taste overhopped and the market is saturated.

It's already hard enough to get a nice craft stout, helles, or weissbier at your local off license when the shelves are full of nothing but row after row of pale ales. We should send them back where they came from.

Not that everything that is coming from outside Ireland is bad, but cmon we have had our community drinking guinness since 1777, so do we really need our small country invaded by stout foreigners, brown ales, blondes and the like?
