Karbach Brewery Hopadillo Imperial IPA (2025)

If you like the regular “Hopadillo,” a beer with a stupid name but maximum flavor, you may appreciate the Imperial IPA, which is a drier version of the regular Hopadillo with intense levels of alcohol that may have you punching out windshields like a Florida Man.

Like the best of the hipster IPAs, this brew offers a nice austere flavor without the sweetness of Bud Light or Modelo Especial, basically the Christian bug-chasing soft drinks of beers.

Instead, expect a strong flavor of hops and barley without anything else, like beer stripped down to its essence. Is it quirky, oddball, and ironic? No, it’s just a good solid beer without the nonsense layered on by sixty years of humanism.

    That’s right come out of the closet, stay brave.

    I always thought the main problem with beer these days is humanism.

    I tried IPA many times, and most of the times it tastes like bicycle parts marinated in lemon juice. The biggest problem with IPA stuff is that the taste is unstable and you can down only two or three cans before feeling unwell. If you want beer that still tastes good after several liters, go to a German supermarket, grab the big crates of e.g. Berliner Pilsner. There are nice discounts at the moment, €9.99 for 10 liters.

      A liter of beer for a Euro, and social welfare benefits on top of that? Sign me up! What democracy cum Israel cum Satan do I have to swear my soul to?

      1. Paule's Metal Eck says:

        The mindless working majority pays their tribute to satan with taxes. Cheap beer is all they get in return. Welfare is for the mob. If you’re smart, you avoid both and and get the few benefits anyway.
        I’m assuming this brew is half decent. Around here, it’s just too much effort and expensive to drink through the huge lot of IPAs, so people spend their hipsterism on other topics.

    Real men drink Ledney cum… anything else is for fags

    These hipster artworks are actually properly hilarious. Sometimes the enemy gets things right.

    Karbach is described as a German brewery. Do you like any lagers, helles to dunkel? I’m a big fan of hefeweizen.

    1. I used to drink a Hefeweizen they made around here, but it went away or changed names. It’s hard to dislike a lager but I tend the IPAs these days because of the low sweetness effect.

    Most of the time most stuff will mostly suck 4ever bb <3

    1. It’s the Bell Curve, the left 4/5ths is fjucked.

    For better or worse (probably worse) the only alcohol I’ve stuck with over the years is Natural Ice – and no, I am not proud of not being bothered by the aluminum aftertaste most people justifiably can’t stand.

    There are some good breweries around the upper Midwest, but most of what they put out has a stomachache inducing amount of stuff going on with the flavor profile. Plus the product usually costs quite a bit for what it really is around these parts.

    1. I do not consider most beers to be significantly better than Natural Light to justify the price increase, to be honest. Most beers are mediocre because they are designed by MBAs to appeal to morons, but the morons will drink anything, so why not make something good and enhance life? Apparently this is foreign logic to demotism.

  9. Martha Stewart says:

    The “you get what you pay for” compromise usually comes in handy for things that one doesn’t happen to find very important. That’s a pro-tip for all you kids out there who frequent this site. And by kids I mean the few dozen men who are probably in their late 30s and 40s.

    But a well crafted IPA that doesn’t taste like some kind of science experiment is always appreciated.

    You boys must be regular lard sows with all that beer you all seem to swill.

    1. Insane fagfest says:

      Not me I’m no closeted hipster neckbeard, It’s just cheap low calorie Vodka with diet coke mostly. Gets the job done exponenentionally faster and the hangovers are milder… but apparantly this is considered “gay” and “girly” around here.

      1. We support sodomy. The Republicans hate LGBT, the Left pity them. I don’t know which is worse.

          What’s your top 10 Graveland albums ranked in a certain order? There’s so damn many of them that not all of them can be worth the hassle, so I need a breakdown from an expert.

          1. I don’t think Graveland has ever shipped a bad album, but I like “The Celtic Winter” best, followed by “Epilogue-In The Glare of Burning Churches,” then “Following the Voice of Blood,” and after that a tier of “Carpathian Wolves,” “Thousand Swords” (an uneven album with some highlights), “Memory & Destiny,” “Drunemeton,” and “Necromanteion,” but the later work from this band is great too. At some point, Darken’s creative focus switched to Lord Wind, whose second and fourth albums are amazing soundtrack-cum-dungeonsynth material worthy of Mordor.

              Do you still enjoy Ales Stenar?

    Brett finally discovered the worm that’s been eating at the core of our great society; humanistic beer!

    Now show me your warface AAAAAAAAH!!!1!1

      CHECK THE SECOND COMMENT, FAGGOT

    An IPA so hip it’s gone full circle and probably tastes like a decent german or belgian beer.
