While hazy, juicy IPAs have certainly brought a lot of excitement and new drinkers to the craft beer scene, I believe this trend is overshadowing the appreciation of traditional styles like lagers, pilsners, and stouts.

The focus on extreme flavors and novelty risks diluting the rich diversity and craftsmanship that define the beer industry. We should celebrate innovation, but not at the expense of the classics that laid the foundation for today’s craft beer revolution.

I can’t contribute because we have no independent breweries in the country. Also, what are IPAs? That’s more of a Caucasian normality.

Hey,

I totally get where you're coming from! Independent breweries aren't everywhere, and craft beer culture can vary a lot depending on where you are. To answer your question, IPAs (India Pale Ales) are a type of beer that's known for being pretty hoppy and often have strong flavors. The hazy, juicy ones people are talking about lately are just a trend within that style – they're usually less bitter and more fruity.

While it's true that IPAs might seem like a "Caucasian normality," craft beer is becoming more diverse and popular in different communities around the world. It's all about exploring and finding what you enjoy, whether it's an IPA, a classic lager, or something entirely different.

Cheers!
