Canadian Breakfast Stout is an Imperial Stout brewed with a blend of coffees and imported chocolates, then aged in spent bourbon barrels that have most recently been aging pure Michigan maple syrup.

We had a nice discussion about how beer, IPA's in particular, are trending toward not being just beer, but being a fruit added, blended with oak chips, married to some freaky flavor, beer. He basically said that due to the backbone of IPA's, brewers are using this as a canvas to experiment with different flavor profiles to offer a flavor for different tastes.
I suggested he go back to his boss and tell them to cut this crap out. I want an IPA when I order a IPA. Not a Lollipop of flavors. He gave me a sampler bottle of their new IPA.
Tasted like an IPA should. I was pleased. They will get my business.

IPAs have become an unbearably trendy style in the last few years but I think that is beginning to change. This spring has brought an influx of excellent Berliner-weiße and göse styles to the market. Sour biers are looking they will be the next big thing. As someone who loves a good IPA along with many other styles, this change is refreshing. With everyone putting out an IPA, there has been a lot of so so offerings but like anything, the cream tends to rise to the top. The best IPAs in my opinion are mostly the same ones I loved 3 years ago.
