      If that’s true it’s very poor marketing imo. Who tf wants to drink broccoli

    Other Half is a LEGENDARY brewery. They just name things so weird to get attention. I went to their location in Brooklyn when I was in NYC at the start of my brewery crawl and was already buzzed when I left because I love their beer too much. I actually had their base Broccoli beer when I was there! Just a juicy imperial IPA!

      I’m surprised this is allowed. Europe has fairly strict rules against displaying food that’s not actually in the ingredient list. I guess in the US it is allowed?

        There is a lot of weirdness. For a long time now, anything alcohol doesn’t have to list its ingredients

    My family knows I like IPAs but to them IPA just means the can has a weird design on it. Normally they’re good but one time they got a bunch of triple milkshake IPA and I can’t stand those they’re like canned bread.

      Beer is like canned bread to me, in a good way. I don’t understand this criticism.

        and indeed that’s literally the whole point of beer, and since both beer and bread uses yeast you can use the same yeast for both, efficient!

        Depends on who you’re buying them from. Most of them have fruit or are heavily hopped and need to be refrigerated. I’ve had tons of good milkshakes in a can, but I gotta make sure they’re fresh, or I’m storing them in the fridge for less than a month when sharing.

          That’s the problem I run into. Most at the store are way past a month.

    I’d try a broccoli cheddar beer before literally any IPA. Yuck.

      Same. I don’t get why people are so crazy about IPA, or any strongly-hopped beer style. And why Guinness and Kilkenny are the only two British or Irish beers sold here (Kilkenny is good but it gets old drinking the same beer all the time, and Guinness only works for me when it’s on tap).

          Beer (and wine) has to be really sweet at the start of the fermenting process, because that sugar is what feeds the yeast. If you don’t add any hops, then the resulting beverage tends to be malty sweet and very one dimensional. The hops cut down and balance the sweetness.

    I guess it could be like beer cheese soup? When beer cheese soup is good, it’s really good. But you wouldn’t use an IPA for that. Usually use a pilsner.

    Any plain can with a sticker has that taste.

    If you’ve ever home brewed you know exactly what I mean.

    on top of that they’re always the most expensive beer in the store.

        This is part of why I don’t drink any more. What happens if you find your new favourite thing and it was a joke that will literally never be made again?

        but mostly because I kept getting sours that sounded amazing but where consistently the worst thing I have ever tasted
