Domestic beer?! If there is one impressive thing millennials have accomplished so far, it's putting a brewery in every neighborhood of every major city in the western world. Locally brewed beer has been having a really good couple of decades.

Domestic is typically classified as beer like Budwiser and Miller. You're describing craft beer which as you said it's doing great... For IPAs

gonna be honest "domestic" beer deserves to die

Hot take, Coors Light is better than the thousands of IPAs that seemingly occupy 95% of the craft beer market. Also, and maybe this is less controversial, I can get 36 cans of Coors Light for the price of 12 IPAs, and my mouth will be happier with each can of the Coors. Honestly, beer is a rental anyway, why drink IPA when there are Belgian ales, pilsners, and cervezas?

Because I like IPAs more? I'll fully admit that the market is way over saturated with the style, but people do still enjoy them.

I actually don't get the criticism of the generic domestic beers like Budweiser, Coors, Miller, etc. They don't taste bad at all, are actually drinkable, and have a higher ABV than anything outside of a hard cider or an IPA. If someone put a craft IPA and a can of Bud Light in front of me and asked me to pick one, I'd take the Bud every time because at least I will enjoy it more than trying to choke down the bitter craft brew.

As an Australian i support this position. In the US market.

While it’s true that IPAs are most common, there are plenty of choices, especially at this time of year when everyone makes a Marzen, then a pumpkin, then a holiday ale. One of the reasons I like my local brewery is the variety of styles they make

In my fridge right now

  • marzen
  • “festbier”, spiced German ale
  • Boch
  • esb
  • and of course an ipa

I know this - my husband is actually a small batch brewer himself - but IPAs very much dominate the market, which is what i was poking fun at

It's the only legal way to kill ourselves and it tastes better than smoking.

I don’t know if Millennials get credit for that. The legislation allowing it was signed by Jimmy Carter before these kids were born, and us X’ers did a lot more to get the industry established
