    I really shouldn’t be having beer at all anymore, but I actually came to like a number of fairly hoppy IPAs. I do have issues with certain bitter things, but not others; I love black coffee, but I can’t stand high-cacao dark chocolate and some herbs with bitter notes.

    Sometimes I want something bitter. If I want hot and bitter, I’ll drink coffee. If I want cold and bitter, I’ll have an IPA. I also like dark chocolate. Must just be something about bitterness that I enjoy.

    I love me some IPA, right up till you start adding adjectives… Hazy? Juicy? New England? West coast? No. Beer, hops, yum. Get the rest of that nonsense out of here. As a home brewer I refuse to get my Adjective IPA palate.

      How do I know if it’s gonna be a hazy new england? If I get a pale west coast it won’t taste the same and I won’t like it.

    Fun fact: IPA stands for Indian Pale Ale. They were called that because they were shipped from England to India during the ole’ days (1800s). The purpose was to preserve the beer via it’s long journey to India. They would mellow out during the trip.

    Eventually some idiots locally decided the massively hoppy beer tasted good, so it became popular in England as well, but sold as “Pale Ales”. I’ll argue it was never meant for human consumption.

    There ARE craft beers that incorporate less hops and I hate that craft beer is now synonymous with hops or IPA. I hate heavy hops, but love hefeweizens, weiss, stouts, brown porters, Belgian dubble/tripels, lambics, wheats, bocks…

      Would you say most walls like IPAs, or are you more of an outlier?

          I’ve asked walls near me about their beer preferences, they don’t seem to have anything to say regarding the matter. Or any other matter, for that matter.

    I’ll give you an unpopular opinion in the opposite direction. I think most sweets and desserts are cloying as fuck and can’t understand why people eat them, or at least want more than a bite or two. I pretty much only have taste buds for savory/bitter/salty tastes these days, and hot sauce and peppers are awesome.

        I guess fruit, or maybe sorbet? I dunno, I don’t hate sweets, but it’s more that I almost never want them. Like if my partner has a piece of cake or some ice cream after dinner I’ll have a couple bites and it’s fine, but I would’ve never bought the cake for myself in the first place. Late night snacks for me are things like popcorn/chips, not chocolate/gummies.

      Different people having different tastes is hardly an unpopular opinion.

          That could be, but I don’t think the average person would find your dislike of sweets to be unpopular. I’d think most would understand.

      this depends heavily on the specific candy/dessert IMO, solid sugar candy is fine because it dissolves slowly, but some stuff just detonates a sugar bomb on your tongue and it genuinely makes me shudder in bone-deep rejection of something that must be poison.

      Swedish desserts are generally really enjoyable to me because they have a bunch of savoury with the sugar mostly coming from some sort of jelly or stuffing, like in cinnamon buns.

      Agreed! It’s really good at removing thermal paste from heat sinks on CPUs and other IC packages.

      Unrelated to the OP, India Pale Ales are great-tasting beers

    I used up all my taste acquisition credits coming around on coffee and tolerating alcohol at all. I have zero fucks left to give when it comes to training myself to like hops. The bitter little cancerous-asshole-looking motherfuckers may be necessary but I sure as hell don’t want the entire experience shaped by them.

      They’re actually not even necessary, you can use things like heather or spruce instead. Personally I like those better
