   I am a big fan of craft beer.  There's a nice little microbrewery that   
   opened about a half mile from my house a couple years ago that has   
   taken hundreds of dollars out of my wallet and probably added 20   
   pounds to my waistline.   
      
   But their beer selection has, slowly but surely, been taken over by   
   IPAs.  Used to be they'd have one or two IPAs on tap and a healthy   
   selection of other styles.  Now it's twenty IPAs and I'm lucky if they   
   have one stout or porter or even a lager on tap.  The bartender told   
   me that IPAs are pretty much instant money - the kegs sell out almost   
   faster than they can put new ones on.   
      
   What the fuck is it with IPAs?  Why is that all anyone wants to drink   
   anymore?  I can't stand them.  Way too bitter.  I end up with   
   heartburn for days after drinking one.  I just do not get the appeal.   
      
   I kept hoping the IPA thing was a fad that would fade eventually, but   
   it doesn't seem to be happening.  Now there's a whole generation of   
   drinkers out there who think IPAs are the only "good" type of beer.   
   Bah.
