I have enjoyed the cigar city brews. Also a vodka drinker, I like deep eddy. Lately for sipping though,Love my IPAs, especially the citrus ones, grapefruit being my favorite. Lots of the local area beers brewed here in south Florida, like Cigar City beers. Calusa Brewery beers. Big Top Brewery.. Motorworks. I try to buy local and rarely drink corporate beer. I'd rather support a family business. Plus, small breweries beer puts the big guys to shame, generally. But I won't turn down a Kona.
I usually keep my beer fridge in the garage stocked with 2 or 3 different IPAs, a porter, a stout or two and 2 or 3 different lagers. Lately I'll get a taste for vodka. 2 shots on the rocks, no water. Stolichnaya.
Beer is nice but at 380lbs it takes a shitload of beer to get anywhere. That's when I'll sneak in a few shots of Stolichnaya to get things moving!
Perhaps I'm a beer weenie, but IPAs have been difficult for me to embrace. However, I'm clearly the minority, because every time I go into any bar with a good beer rep, at least 50% of the big sellers appear to be IPAs. I've always found the IPAs to have a strong hoppy taste on the back end, and I prefer the heavy red, brown, amber beers. But I really need to branch out and try the IPAs more, I kinda feel like I'm missing out.
I'm with you, man. There is a very successful and regionally famous microbrewery right next door to my house... and I can't go there anymore. Way too much hops for my liking.Perhaps I'm a beer weenie, but IPAs have been difficult for me to embrace.
