I backed away from craft beers once it seemed to me that the craft beer market had become about making as unlikeable a beer as possible so that people would then claim that they were true beer lovers since they enjoyed that pretty unlikeable beer (unlikeable here largely refers to hoppiness but there are other forms as well such as extremely high alcohol levels or excessively flavored beers).

So it's all about your own tastes? It's all a conspiracy or something? I like a variety of beers, sometimes a lighter pilsner, but I do at times crave a hoppy citrus ipa. It's possible people can have different tastes than yours without it being a lie.

Hi, I absolutely love extremely hoppy beers, and not for any hipster fashion reasons. I just like the taste, so the explosion in IPAs has been awesome for me.
I also love strongly peated smokey whisky and outrageously strong cheese :-)
