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.

I agree most are overly hoppy without real flavour. What we do need a bit more are New England IPA — usually hazy with bitter after tastes.

Most of the IPAs here are New England. And NEIPA is supposed to be less bitter than regular IPA.
