        I’m convinced it’s for people who have drunken so much alcohol that they don’t feel anything when drinking other beers.

        At least that’s why I think my father loves drinking boot leather soaked in absinthe.

          Thing is, where I live, it’s not like most drinkers get started on something else. Pilsener is already dominated by hops and it’s the beer here.

          I can’t really explain it. I didn’t really like beer at all (and had actively tried to see if I could like it for years). A friend had me try a pineapple ipa and it was like a switch flipped in my brain. It started with IPAs and somehow now I like most beer now.

          Tastes are weird.

            Well kudos to you for being able to enjoy multiple styles. I like IPA’S alot nowadays but at first they all tasted like grapefruit to me.
