We've moved on to sours or IPA/sour combos. I drink them because they are delicious to my palate. Always drank my coffee black even as a kid. I like bitter.

Honestly I fucking hate the term hipster. I'm not hip, I'm a laborer in my 40s. It's just another way for people to divide each other.

I dislike the term hipster in large part because it's a cultural movement that's nearly a decade dead. It was people being kinda annoying about the realization that small scale products and culture tended to be better value propositions than mass produced versions. In 2025 everyone knows that. We all know that some no name restaurant in town is likely better than Applebee's for example. Every gamer knows that a good indie game will likely give you more fun for your money than a aaa game (though the aaa one is more consistently likely to not be terrible).

Calling someone a hipster in 2025 is like calling someone a hippie peacenik for opposing the Iraq war

Good for you I guess, but why'd the variety have to disappear? I want my ESBs and barleywines back. I haven't seen a locally made wheat beer since before the pandemic.

Because sweet beers are fucking disgusting? Really though you like what you like. I live in a tiny state population-wise in the US. I can drive five minutes to several shops that have 30 different sweet wheat options.

You consider an ESB, an Extra Special Bitter, a sweet beer?

Didn't know what an ESB was, sorry. I saw wheat and thought gross.
