Personally my issue with IPAs is that so many of them are generic IPA that tastes the same as 75 percent of the other IPAs and everybody that successfully brewed an IPA things they need to open a brewery with a bunch of IPAs.

When I go to a brewery and the option is 7 different variations of IPA and a guest beer, I usually know that the master brewer doesn't know much else about beer.

Just because you drink them year round, doesnt mean most people do. They dont brew them in the summer because they cant sell them enough to make it profitable.

You definitely have a point there about only having ipas at a brewery. IPA is the easiest beer to make, and the easiest beer to hide any imperfections. 1 of our 2 main breweries in town basically only does IPAs. Took them like 5 years until they did something that actually was good and not an IPA

Might have been a wording mistake but I was replying to the idea that I wouldn't do it.

And there are breweries in my area that seem then year round.
