Don't like the premise?

I agree it's different, but that road never ends, man. Why are English Pale Ales a style but English IPAs are not? What about White IPAs? Belgian IPAs? I don't know what to think there. I think the riduculous amount of tiny stout catergories shows (me at least) that this can go too far. Too many crossover beers and blurred lines to add every single sub and sub-sub style that comes out. Where do you put a chocolate coffee stout, or a cherry chocolate stout, or a coffee milk stout, etc...when each one has it's own catergory? Anyway, I'll go along with whatever happens, but that's a slippery slope, especially when an arbitrary abv becomes the determining factor. As far as the value of such a style goes, I generally like em, cause I love hops, and they (generally) showcase the hops well. While I'm not a drink a six pack in a night guy, I may want to sample several different beers in a night/sitting, and like that these are becoming a tasty low abv option. I have a few that have been overly thin, but many more that were just plain good. Here's to hoping you find the right one. Nothing like finding a 3-4% beer (in any style) that you love and can go back to!

I've not experienced it enough to decide if it fills that niche. IPA is my go-to style and the high ABV is somewhat of a negative w.r.t. regular consumption and sessioning in all occasions. So, theoretically, I like the concept. I just haven't fell in love with a session IPA yet. I was actually being serious, I think it is a different style in itself. One should be created here for submissions of these beers, imo.

The only ones I've had are the Day of the Dead brews, that are "possibly" owned by MillerCoors. They mostly sucked.

Hope it keeps growing, though. More good beer ain't a bad thing, and if it ain't....there's plenty of good stuff to go around.

Cool to see. I never did find Casta when it was available.

We get a good amount of Cucapá in California. When I first saw a Mexican made English barleywine, I was definitely surprised. I had all the Day of the Dead beers and enjoyed them for what they were.
