      That's actually incorrect. Malt liquor was originally marketed as a high class beer back when they were conceived. They were popular in club houses and country clubs, and were poured into fancy glasses. But as time went on, the brewers flipped the script and started marketing then through hip-hop and targeted an urban market.

Thank you so much for trying these beers. I don’t always want a malt beer but sometimes it’s nice to switch things up and I enjoy them a lot. We need your beer on the central coast of CA Tree House. You got some heavy competition here. My favorite being Alvarado Street Brewery however it seems they’ve fallen off slightly as they’ve grown. Thanks again!

      To some extent. Amber glass which was referenced has uv inhibitors to protect the contents from being lightstruck. Any beers/malt beverages that come in other colors of glass or plastic will be lightstruck in some capacity. It is why all Hinies, Pilsner Urkel, Corona etc all have a shared undertone of slight match and armpit odor.

But I absolutely love trying new IPAs it’s almost a hobby lol. Have over 500 different kinds logged on Untappd.

      @matts5247 4 месяца назад

      I went to OSU in Columbus OH and they didn’t have it there either.
      Idk why but up north and west coast has the best IPAs. I miss Great Lakes Brewing Co I swear they have the best Imperials I’ve ever had and multiple of them I can’t remember all the names but Lake Eerie Monster and Chillwave were both really good. As far as my favorite IPA brewery that you can get in every state is Stone brewery out west.
      Although living in Austin Tx now I can say compared to the rest of the south Texas has the best although it’s such a big state we have an unfair advantage.
      The first IPA I ever had that got me hooked was Sweetwater in Atlanta where I grew up and blew my mind back before they were as huge as they are now. Although now that I’ve tried so many I feel like there’s is pretty average.
      Idk why I decided to start ranting about all this but I hope you respond and let me know if there is anywhere down south I can get my hands on some Treehouse. I travel a lot around the south so if there’s certain states I can get it I can check Untappd to find out where to pick some up if/when I’m there.
      That was smart to pour out a tasty lookin brewsky after having that piss water out there makes it look like mana from the heavens lmao😂
      Got me a case of yummy Pernicious IPA I just brought back from NC think I’m gonna go enjoy one of those

      I bet not knowing what they are really does impact the perception though.
      People don’t realize how much an impact brand recognition branding and marketing actually has on taste itself. So when all that gets thrown out the window it’s very interesting and thought provoking seeing just the beer on its own be analyzed by an expert
