Fags are gonna fag
Plenty of great black IPAs out there.

>Why not IBA?
I think you mean CDA.
>>7568116
Because IPA is a style that's well known and IBA doesn't exist.

Yeah sure... It's not a pale ale, is a muthafuckin black ale. My autism is kicking in and the names just fucking redundant
>>7568132
But it's not pale!!!!
India Pale Lagers are the it thing right now, guys.
All the flavor of an IPA but lagered with a long cool rest to take away the mouth pucker and really develop those top and mid notes and improve the warmth of the body and the finish on the palate.
IPAs are just over, guys. Kid stuff, really. Drink IPLs and join the rest of the grownups
>>7568145
Any recommendations?
>>7568137
We know it's not pale. That's why it says "black" in front of it.
>>7568116
How can white ales compete?

My local brewery makes this:

the reviews are no lie. It may be the best beer I have ever had. Dunno about getting your hands on some, I had a few bottles skunk out when left unchilled over night but sweet jesus is it good.

I've never had it but I'm looking forward to it. Try barley forge, if you ever get a chance to visit their brewery get their patsy on nitro!

IPLs blew up last year and then pretty much faded out. The style can totally be good, but considering a lager is inherently less flavorful than an ale, it's not doing anything to IPAs popularity lol.
Black IPA is a dumbass name. I've seen some get autistic about it and call them American Black Ales. Either way as a long time Schwarzbier fan, I love that Black IPAs are getting recognized. I live in a pretty small town and two of my local breweries are making good ones.

People are used to macro adjunct lagers. Even pseudo-craft like Sam Adams has as much flavor as a typical amber ale.
>>7568478
Lies
Hipster bullshit
>>7568116
Pale as fuck!
>>7568279
more a lack of design really
>>7568122
Is it fedora if IPA is one of the most popular styles of craft? Isn't rejecting something because "Chad drinks it now, ids ober XD" more fedora?
>>7568145
I've had a few and IPLs are mehhhh. I just don't think the new wave hops work well with lager bases. Noble/European hopped lagers are great though.
