Yuengling expanding distribution

I have never understood the appeal of IPA. To me it tastes like skunky weed smells, which is fine, but not exactly appealing. Its not what I call refreshing in any way, but again thats just my opinion. Obviously, some really like it given its popularity.

I love a smooth stout, a nice amber, and a good ale, etc. Actually, most beer I enjoy, depending on how, why, and where I am drinking it influences my choice in that instant. But I have never liked IPA, I have never found it good for any situation, but I realize everyone has different tastes.

So all that being said, what is the appeal, what do you find good, enjoyable, refreshing about IPA? Im not trying be argumentative, Im genuinely curious.

The ironic thing is that is exactly what hops taste like to me - taking a bite out of a bar of soap. I do not get that with cilantro, though.
I know there is definitely a cilantro gene, so probably hops too, why not? My daughter was asking me about it last weekend and how she could have the cilantro gene, but no one else in the family does. She’s studying Anthropology at Loyola and it was in one of her classes. I told her I have it. She was surprised because I never said anything. To which I replied, it’s because I mainly avoid it. Order food without it at a restaurant and if someone serves something with it at their house, I just suck it up and deal with it.

I will say though, I understand your distaste for hops. If someone offered me a beer with cilantro in it, no way am I drinking it and I’ve always said I would never turn down a free beer.
 
I used to love neipa’s but now I’d much rather have a west coast. My favorite style right now is probably hoppy pilsners.
I love hoppy pilsners. Or there are a couple oak aged ones that Modist (Minneapolis brewery) does that I really enjoy
 
No political commentary but if you are the type of person who votes with their wallet, do some research on the Yuengling owner.

With the amount of good craft beer available, unless there is nothing else available I’m skipping the Yuengling.

It's not, but it's also not in the top 5 of beers New Glarus bread. They make so many better beers.
Oh I totally agree with you there. Two women is one of my favorite and the Back 40
