    0-20%. Really trending closer to zero than the twenty. Haven't had a lot of luck in finding examples that I like all that much, and my palate seems to disagree with the pungent, resiny flavors I get from most. However, I'm going to take a punt on the Siren/Mikkeller Limoncello IPA because I happen to like limoncello quite a bit. Otherwise, I'm first and foremost a stout drinker, with the occasion belgian/hefe/witbier thrown in for a change of pace.

    Are we considering imperials the same as an ipa?

    I'd guess I'm at about 60%. More if you count pales. I do try to make sure to mix it up, especially this time of year. Even so, I tend to gravitate to the hoppy stuff even if its not an IPA, like a good hoppy Imperial Red.

    I burned out in recent years, so only about 40% now.

    Current trend is hoppy pils. Prima pils almost daily. :sunglasses:

    After a heady topper journey...100%. Every other time...about 60 percent. Love me some barrel aged everything along with stouts, barley wines, porters, and quads...ooooooh quads

    I'm at the low level of 20%....I prefer other styles most of time. I also have a glut of Pumpkin beers to go through, I picked a bad time to take a mini-break from my beers...:slight_smile:

    0-20 only because there is no 0-10 choice. While I don't like hyper bitterness, I REALLY don't like the citrusy, piney, resiny hops even more. I'm certainly in the single digits on %, but I will buy an IPA from time to time.

    Probably around the 40% mark... lots of stouts and porters in there too, as well as my buddies (and my own) homebrewing adventures... this definitely went down since Gose became more readily available!

    "How many drinks of alcohol do you consume in a week."

    "One."

    "That's it?! One drink?!"

    "One shelf."

    But think IPAs...

    I chose 61 to 80. but it could even be in the 81-99 area. Its definitely in the higher range for Pale ales. Whether their american, douple, india ect ect.

    Im a hophead. What can i say!

    I'm probably around 40%, but not necessarily by choice. I buy more beers than I consume and the IPA's automatically get pushed to the front of the line so that they are consumed fresh.

    Has definitely increased over past 6 months so that I would estimate 61-80 pct.

    I'm a 0 - 20% guy.

    I'll have 1 or 2 a week, and usually if it's not a session IPA that will be on draft when I'm at the bar. I almost never buy IPAs at the liquor store, I only want one or two then I move onto something more sessionable. And even if it's a session IPA, I find anything IPA incredibly one-dimensional.

    Oops, I lied I had 4 IPAs this week out of 19 beers. And all four were session IPAs. 10 were German imports....hmm.

    I started out with IPAs when I first got into craft beer, but I pretty much stopped drinking them. Ill drink a few if I'm offered some, but I'm in a big stout phase right now. And a lot of sour beers. Its been months since I bought an IPA.

    I voted 0 - 20 and it's probably less than 10%. There are just so many different styles/brands that I like and just not enough days.

    For as much as IPAs and IIPAs are discussed and given so much hype on this site, after 144 votes I'm surprised at how even the voting is. (Except for the single 100% vote by King Hop Head (@chipawayboy .)

    I'm about 0 - 5%. Not really into IPAs. Mainly barrel aged beers, Stouts, lots of pumpkin beers lately, but mostly stouts (milk , imperial, barrel aged). Lightest beer I like would probably be dead guy ale. I do enjoy brewdog - hardcore IPA but I haven't seen it in a few months. On really hot days I can do dogfish head 90 min IPA and I find it refreshing but overall I don't like really hoppy beers ie: most IPA's
