I really like stouts but I have to be in the mood with them since they're so heavy. IPA's are a lot more drinkable imo.

Era Stouts or IPAs?
- Thread starter TaySan
- Start date
Stouts and Porters are a winter beer for me. I have one IPA I like to drink in the summer (Founders All Day) that's a standard.
weirdly, your typical stout is less caloric than the average IPA. but I agree they have a feeling of heaviness.
Literally everything. IPAs, wheat ales, cream ales, lagers, stouts, porters, sours, I DON'T CARE I LOVE THEM ALL
It is currently stout season tho

I prefer wheat beers, Belgians, pilsners, sours.
I like my beer to be refreshing, and I cannot stand IPAs. They taste like chewing on pine needles.

Depends? There are a lot of good IPA's and a lot of good Stout's - my preference entirely depends on how good each individual brew is. I don't drink much anymore but when I do it'll be one of these bottles of heaven;
For Stout's
For IPA's
Really any beer from Kaiju! is excellent, espcially their Tropical Pale Ale and Red Ale.

It legit depends.
Stouts:
Left Hand Brewing Nitro Milk Stout is pretty damn good.
Tiny from Weyerbacher is pretty damn amazing and does not taste like it's 11.8%.
IPAs:
Firestone Walker's now-retired Double Jack IPA might be the best IPA ever. By a far fucking margin. So fucking amazing and had nothing like it since.
Maine Beer Company's Lunch is so fucking good too.
Both are good, you just have to find the good ones.

i love both
i usually enjoy a stout more, but i more often feel like going for an ipa if that makes sense. i tend to think an ipa goes better with a meal
i voted stout

Where's the both option? Or the "weather dependent" option? Or the "mood dependent" option? Why are these presented as two opposing choices?
I think people overstate the seasonal nature of stouts. Stouts are super popular in Jamaica for goodness sake!
Between the two? Stouts. But honestly, I don't care for either. A lager or an ale is far superior.
Stout and IPAs are both ales, but it's also a mostly meaningless designation.
I enjoy some stouts. But definitely IPAs. Those and sours are my favorite styles. I love bitter and sour foods and drinks in general. I dint have that sensitive of a palate so I lean toward bold flavors.
I had a smores stout a few months ago that made me see God himself... but I have to go with IPAs. There's more variety in how I can consume one. If I'm drinking a stout I prefer to drink it by itself with no accompaniment
Stouts all day every day. I rarely drink beer these days because they are so terrible for you (the ones that I like), but when I do it's a good 9-16% dark stout that's going to be in the 350-500 calorie range - basically a nice treat. My evolution of beer tastes is quite interesting, because back in my mid 20s or so (I'm 36) IPAs are what got me into craft beer, but at some point my taste changed and I find them to be absolutely horrendous tasting; not sure how that happened 🤷‍♂️
Some brews from my favorite brewery:

Calories are mostly tied to ABV, and a lot of typical stouts and porters (not Russians, Imperials, etc) are fairly low ABV compared to your 6%+ IPA.
I've had a toasted marshmellow IPA that sounds like it belongs in this category.
It was actually kind of intriguing, but definite cognitive dissonance.
