What's your IPA consumption?

Warmer weather I would estimate about 75% IPA consumption. On the flipside, with the colder weather it probably goes down to around 35% with Stouts/Seasonal beers supplementing them.

 

For new beers and ratings, it's probably nearer 10%. For all beers consumed, including repeats and homebrews, it's probably about a third, which is down from probably close to if not over 50%.

 

20% at the most and declining. Lagers, Stouts/Porters and other ales on the rise.

 

As a bona fide hop head, I was honest and chose 81-99%. When the weather gets cooler, I mix in additional styles, like porters, stouts & barleywines and also gravitate to higher ABV DIPAs. But since I rarely drink during the week, my taste buds have a chance to recover before getting assaulted again.

 

About half of my beer consumption/purchases are IPA's. If it ever gets cooler here, I'll drink more Porters and Stouts. But over the year, IPA's count for half of my beer consumption.

 

It's not that I don't like you or your ideas, but please don't make me look at that again.

Sure, just add a heaping teaspoonful of...

I too am a 21-40% IPA drinker. I love them. I want them and I have them but I like lots of styles. So it's more a question of what I'm in the mood for and what is the current seasonal.

 

21-40. And more toward 20 than 40. Can't session on IPA's exclusively. Gotta change it up or get palate fatigue.

 

I live in Houston IPA are a must I say 9 out of 10 for me

 

When I take a break from beer for a while... I dream of a kick ass IPA.. Could go for a fresh Another One right know. Damn that sounds good

 

Yeah, but the Balantine IPA revival has to offset those numbers lately, doesn't it?

I know it pushed my IPA percentage up in the past month.

 

Probably around 15%,
more so in warmer weather for me along with hefe's and wheats. This time of year I'm thinking about seasonal beers, and the darker brews Bock,Dunkle,Porter and Stout . Although I can enjoy a good IPA or Dunkle anytime anywhere

Probably 80% or so, still have a nice Fest beer or a Ba stout every now and then, occasional Miller lite too. The good thing with HDR is that I've failed to hit critical mass and palate fatigue. Not overly bitter, very fruity and balanced i suppose.

 

For a while it seemed I was only consuming IPAs. Lately though, I they're only making up between 20-30% of my beer consumption.

 

Up until this year it was two cans of Heady per year for five years prior.

This year I found CC Jai Alai and drank the bejeezus outta that, and killed off two sixers of the aforementioned Ballantine.

There may be something wrong with me.

 

Does wonders for barley soup.

 

I'd say around 70-75% for me. I like a great stout, but I feel like I get burnout from a stout compared to an IPA far quicker. My percentage has been decreasing, though, due to my introduction to Berliner Weisse and sours. Honestly I'd prefer to buy a sour or a Berliner Weisse at this point in time, but unfortunately the selection for those type of beers in my area is terrible. Luckily the IPA/APA/DIPA selection's great where I'm at so I can keep the burnout at bay. Plus, the only stout known to 95% of the population around here is Guinness so that's another plus if I get tired of an IPA.

 

I'm probably at around 80% for IPAs. That will go down as the weather cools down.
