The fact that this posted on X is more disgusting than broccoli cheese beer
- It’s the broccoli cheddar ipa of the internet.
  
  You created a whole new sentence.

Other Half is a LEGENDARY brewery. They just name things so weird to get attention. I went to their location in Brooklyn when I was in NYC at the start of my brewery crawl and was already buzzed when I left because I love their beer too much. I actually had their base Broccoli beer when I was there! Just a juicy imperial IPA!
- I'm surprised this is allowed. Europe has fairly strict rules against displaying food that's not actually in the ingredient list. I guess in the US it is allowed?
  
  There is a lot of weirdness. For a long time now, anything alcohol doesn't have to list its ingredients
  
  It’s just the name. Does European Lucky Charms actually increase your luck?

Ngl everytime I see IPA my brain translate it to isopropyl alcohol and I was literally confused about the phrase!
- international phonetic alphabet
- Same, I though it is a fast drying ipa.

Just the name of the beer, it doesn't actually contain either
- If that's true it's very poor marketing imo. Who tf wants to drink broccoli

This is what's in the hand of the man explaining the granularities of his office job to some poor woman at a house party

My family knows I like IPAs but to them IPA just means the can has a weird design on it. Normally they're good but one time they got a bunch of triple milkshake IPA and I can't stand those they're like canned bread.
- Beer is like canned bread to me, in a good way. I don’t understand this criticism.
  
  and indeed that's literally the whole point of beer, and since both beer and bread uses yeast you can use the same yeast for both, efficient!
- Tbf, milkshake IPAs are only good on tap. Straight ass in a can
  
  Depends on who you’re buying them from. Most of them have fruit or are heavily hopped and need to be refrigerated. I’ve had tons of good milkshakes in a can, but I gotta make sure they’re fresh, or I’m storing them in the fridge for less than a month when sharing.

Hey a blue checkmark, it's like two jokes in one.

OH has some good stuff despite the oddball names.
- So does this taste like broccoli?
  
  Not at all. It's a "hazy" IPA. The style is New England IPA.

I'd try a broccoli cheddar beer before literally any IPA. Yuck.
- But this is an IPA
  
  And it is for that reason alone that I will not drink it.
- Same. I don't get why people are so crazy about IPA, or any strongly-hopped beer style. And why Guinness and Kilkenny are the only two British or Irish beers sold here (Kilkenny is good but it gets old drinking the same beer all the time, and Guinness only works for me when it's on tap).
- I honestly don’t get the hype. They literally taste like earwax
  
  i mean, all beer does lol
  fuck knows why you'd add bittering agents to a beverage, like mmm yes today i want to drink something poison flavour

I guess it could be like beer cheese soup? When beer cheese soup is good, it's really good. But you wouldn't use an IPA for that. Usually use a pilsner.
- Probably tastes more like a cheesy broccoli soup fart.
  
  I was in a ska band called Cheesy Broccoli Soup Fart. We were terrible.
- It actually contains neither broccoli nor cheese

Any plain can with a sticker has that taste.
If you've ever home brewed you know exactly what I mean.
on top of that they're always the most expensive beer in the store.
- "I fucked up and tried to cover the off flavors with a small mountain of hops"
  
  Literally every IPA ever.

I'd try it
- I’d have to, out of sheer curiosity
  
  This is part of why I don't drink any more. What happens if you find your new favourite thing and it was a joke that will literally never be made again?
  but mostly because I kept getting sours that sounded amazing but where consistently the worst thing I have ever tasted
