IPA's are quick and easy and if you mess up and make a poor tasting beer, it's gonna get covered up by whatever flavors you put in it anyway.

The other beers take skill.

Them even more soon, once the style gets smaller than sours your chance of finding it on a tap are slim.

Luckily I found a brewery nearish here that has stunningly good barrel-aged imperial stouts. Unfortunately they're nearly $20 a bottle, so I can only afford to go on special occasions. They're worth the cost though, good gods.

Can someone clue me in why these uber punched up stouts have such a high price tag? I can get a decent coffee malty 5%er for a few dollarpounds a bottle, but the 11% thicker stouts are up in the 20ish range, are they really 10x as intensive to brew?

They look really good. Too bad Maine's so far away.

Yeah, that's a bit much of a trek. Could probably get a bottle or even a set shipped there though, if you ever felt sufficiently self-indulgent.
