I've had a whole lot of Lagunitas beers here in MI, but we can't seem to get ol' Pliny The Elder OR Younger here. I'm really thirsty to try it out... the number one ranked beer on BeerAdvocate. Not that they're always right on with their ratings. The most respected beer scorer in my life is my tongue.

I can name at least a dozen beers, if not more, that I'd much rather have in front of me than Pliny.

eggs fukkin zactly.
IPAs are the easiest thing to do, and even when brewers try to do something else, it always feels like theres a mentality of getting the basic checklist of flavor profiles instead of making a good beer. like black IPAs are starting to get big, and honestly i've only had a few legit good ones. most are just IPA + malt/coffee-ness and its just another style that gets shat on. its just a big brash slathering of hoppiness with some roasiness but with zero understanding of a good beer, and just a desire to make "a hoppy as shit beer with some malt and a shitton of alcohol." and its a really terrible attitude that i'm glad seems to be on its way out.

+1
As an pretty avid homebrewer myself, IPAs are fucking simple as shit to make. Because an insane amount of hops are powerful enough to disguise any other flaws in your beer. The hardest styles to make are the lighter, milder ones, because there's nowhere for your off-tastes to go.
This recent trend of black IPAs, red IPAs, belgian IPAs and whatever-the-fuck-IPAs are just boring to me. It can't end fast enough. I'd much rather have a real schwarzbier, or red ale, or belgian strong ale, than some bastardized american IPA with a few different specialty malts in it.

yeah, i really like the bruery, but i did kinda call out Mischeif for being "a hoppy belgian strong ale".
honestly the only bad beer of theirs i've had is the Tart of Darkness
