“But these pioneering beers — the pale ales, IPAs, and Belgian-style whites of the 1980s, ’90s, and early 2000s — paved the way for the endlessly experimental beers of today. Far from boring, these flavourful brews blew brewers’ and consumers’ minds when they were released. They were packed with hops, spiced with coriander, or (gasp!) put in a can, all at a time America was drowning in a sea of bland domestic lagers.”
