The Most Overrated Beer Style? Craft Beer Republic Debates IPA Hate, Extra Pale Ales, and More
theunfilteredgentl
A brand new episode of Craft Beer Republic, the craft beer podcast hosted by Greg and Flex, is officially live. And this week’s topic? A dangerous one.
What’s the most overrated beer style?
It sounds simple. It was not.
After tossing the question out to the internet, Greg unintentionally sparked a full-blown IPA debate. Are IPAs actually overrated? Or is it just trendy to hate on the most popular craft beer style in America? The conversation quickly expands into underrated beer styles, hype-driven ratings, and why some people order beers they already know they won’t like.
Craft Beer Reviews: Extra Pale Ale and Murky IPA
As always, the beer is front and center.
Flex cracks open Strata Pictor Pop from Amorphic Beer, a 4.5% extra pale ale that proves lighter craft beer styles deserve more respect. Berry-forward hops, crisp finish, and low ABV make this a true sessionable craft beer.
Greg pours Planetary Alignment from Pure Project Brewing, a 6.7% murky IPA loaded with pineapple and mango character. It’s a modern hazy IPA with soft mouthfeel and tropical hop balance.
Between the two beers, the episode covers everything from extra pale ales and red ales to gose, fruit-forward sours, and the never-ending IPA conversation.
Beer News: Olympics, Brewery Layoffs, and Super Bowl Sales
The Booze News segment covers major topics in the craft beer industry:
* Corona as the official Olympic beer sponsor
* Topa Topa layoffs and brewery restructuring
* BrewDog exploring a potential sale
* Colorado proposing new alcohol fees to fund addiction recovery
* Super Bowl beer sales trends
If you follow craft beer news, brewery business trends, or the state of the beer industry, this episode hits all of it.
