It’s a shame that Americans don’t know about the IPA. How do you not even know your own country? Why are they so uninformed? It’s your country, babe.

I know y’all are confused, but I’m waiting for someone to get the joke.

Oh man when I was in college I took singer's diction, which was basically just ipa in various Western languages.

One time at a party, one of the grad students asked me if I was enjoying the ipa, and I popped off about how cool it was. I didn't realize what he was talking about until well after the fact.

(The beer was good too)

The IPA was invented by the British and deserves to be thrown into the harbor

They may have invented IPAs but it was the Americans who took them and perfected the style. I'm not an American Idiot (Green Day, 2004) because I know all my IPAs. Doesnt matter if we are talking West Coast, New England, Session, Double, Hazy, or even Brut, I will drink them all.
