I saw a bunch of anons on /ck/ talking about how good IPA is. I bought a 6-pack and they tasted like shit. Is IPA actually good or just some /ck/ meme? And what are actually good alcoholic drinks?
pic obviously unrelated
just pour a shot of vodka in whatever sugary drink you like, you fucking faggot.

IPAs can be good, but the are so many out there that there are bound to be plenty of awful hop bombs are just suck.
Keep trying different beers and see what you like and don't.
Little high on the proof for a beginner, but truly the pinnacle of affordable bourbon

Literally everything if you're desperate enough.

IPAs were invented by the british so their beer wouldn't start growing weird shit in it during long journeys at sea. The extra hops was just to prevent spoilage. It was never supposed to be good. Now its just hipster beer.

Lots of things were invented for preservation purposes and remain around to this day because people liked them.

True, but they are usually salty and smokey. IPAs taste like potpouri or furniture polish.

IPA's are a worldwide meme not just ck
Absynthe is honestly pretty good, but it is a bit of a fedora tip.

Once you've had 22 beers and it stops tasting like shit.

Wrong.
Britain exported all sorts of beer overseas, there weren't any that were particularly vulnerable to spoilage.
Pale Ale was one of the more popular kinds, and the India in India Pale Ale meant simply 'pale ale of the sort that's popular in India'
Hop-bomb IPA is a purely American construction, don't go fostering that blame elsewhere.
