    A quick roundup of my Untappd checkins have me around 30% IPAs. Might be a bit low based on how the categories split but sounds about right.

    Right now my fridge is stout central, but there will always be a place for 90 Minute and fresh Two Hearted

    It's probably somewhere around the 65-70% range. I like to have a nice variety in my fridge, but I'll typically grab a fresh IPA if not in any sort of particular mood and just want a beer.

    I voted 0-20%. I'm at the 10% part. I love them, but also love pilsners, brown ales, stouts, and saisons too much to drink solely IPA's as is the fad with many people.

    The Ballantine is good so is the IPA from Anchor. I doubt IPA's have ever been even 20% of the beer I drink. Too many other styles I enjoy just as much as if not more.

    I certainly love IPA/DIPAs still but my % of my beer consumption has definitely gone down as I like variety and many styles like stouts, porters, lagers, pils, etc ..... I would say around 12-15% of beers I drink year

    It's probably around 10%. I like IPAs, but for normal drinkng I prefer a lower ABV.

    0-20% for me. I can thoroughly enjoy a hop bomb but usually lean towards something with rich complex malts.

    21-40% for me.

    At this point I have become a ticking ***** and feel like I have tried most of the IPA's I 'need' to :slight_smile:

    I went with 41-60, but it's a guess. My wife is 90%+. I'm including DIPAs, black IPAs and some Pale Ales like Zombie Dust, that are definitely IPAs in any sane world along with Hoponious Unions, which while a lager is a direct IPA replacement. Not including ordinary Pale Ales. I'd say it is 50% of what is on the shelves at most stores as well.

    It's times like this that my membership to Untappd and obsessive need to check in to every beer I have (and the ability to download all those check-ins in a spreadsheet) finally becomes totally worth it.

    Over the last 2+ years, about 23% of the beers I've consumed have either been your standard American IPA or American Double/Imperial IPA.

    If you expand that to include all the IPA "variants" (Belgian IPA, Black IPA, White IPA, English IPA etc.), then the percentage climbs to 27%.

    And no, I won't share the raw numbers that I used to calculate those percentages because it's easier to remain in denial this way.

    I'd say about 2/3 of the beer I drink is some form of IPA, a bit higher in the summer, a bit lower in the winter. Actually, in the winter I'm likely to switch over to drinking fewer beers and more cocktails...

    I tend to drink IPAs when eating out as the best beer choice is often an IPA.

    On the other hand, most of my drinking is at home and I don't drink many IPAs at home.

    These days I'm drinking a wide variety beers and I gravitate toward structure and balance rather than extreme hoppiness.

    I'm probably at about 98% if you count IPA and DIPA together.

    About a year ago, I'd have said about 90%, but I have majorly burned out on the style as of late. I focused more on pilsners and kolsch style beers over the summer months and I'm really enjoying the marzen/octoberfest offerings now that autumn has arrived.
