Sounds crazy to say but I actually think foam brewer is the best beer in the nation if not on the entire globe, it is the good for how many beers the constantly chang over. Fucking delicious and so inventive

When your origin story is leaving Switchback to be more experimental, you are already on the right foot.

I am much more partial to the kind of IPAs that walk the line between floral/fruit notes and yet still have hop bite (Focal, Double Sip, Second Fiddle, etc.). I find that IPAd in the style favored by places like Foam, BBCO, even Treehouse and Trillium, have a good flavor, but are largely forgettable and I have a hard time telling one from another really

Respect your opinion but I disagree strongly. Every single one of their ipas taste sour to me. So many other good IPAs like Austin Street, Goodfire, Bissell Brothers

I've had bad beers from foam before but they are rare and the good ones I have had, which are many, outpace the quality of any other beer by an absolutely massive degree. I just can't agree their ipas taste sour, I honestly question the beer size you have sampler or just your taste buds with that statement. Haha you could've said a lot of things but saying their ipas are sour is just a travesty to someone reading your review who has not sampler their beers. They are the smoothest, fruitiest, fullest and layered ipas I have ever tried. I have drank 10% ipas that make sip of sunshine undrinkable.

I've had over 2500 ipa's. To each their own I guess. I just don't like their beers.

How many foam ipa's have you had? I could see a few problems with some of the beers I've had at foam but I personally have only had the smoothest, fruitiest, juiciest ipas from foam. Describing them as sour makes me think you have either not tried enough ipas there or not sure haha "sour" just isn't not what comes to mind when I think of foam ipa's. Like sip of sunshine is a harsher double IPA if you ask me. Again, Ive had 10% doubles at foam that are smoother drinking then 99% of most 6% singles etc. Then they also have just out of this world layered fruit and flavored ipas that are like visiting the willy Wonka factory as far as the flavor trip you go on in just one sip. Haha loool sour is just not a great description to me lol.

It's in my top three honestly. Equilibrium has them beat by just a hair at the moment, and I think Hudson valley makes some bonkers beer as well.
