I love IPAs. I t seems that the sour and gose fad is still going on, but IPAs are easy to produce and popular, so I don't think they're going anywhere anytime soon.
jesus christ gose, really? my wife is german and when she had a gose a few months ago she said it reminded her of her childhood (her parents would let her have some when she was like 13 and they'd order large bottle for the table w/ dinner)
Yeah, they started getting popular about 4 years ago and pretty much every US tap house has at least one these days.
I've been liking the NEPA's (orange / citrus based)
Tried one sour and it was meh. Definitely a one beer type for me.
NE and hazy IPAs are where it's at. A little bit of citrus and/or floral flavor to set off the bitter hops... Mmmm
If you're into fruitier beers, you should try pairing a wheat beer with goat cheese. My GF and I had a fried goat cheese appetizer with jalapeno jelly and house brewed key lime gose few year ago. It was killer, and we said we needed to go back, but then quarantine, supply chain, yada yada, and here we are sitting at our computers.
On edit: changed "key goses" to key lime gose".
Oh yeah, love me some goat cheese and jalapeno jelly!
The biggest issue with IPAs is that the ratio of good IPA to bad is way too skewed in the bad direction.
