I am not a fan of IPAs. I love beer, but an IPA is the last on a long list of beer I will buy. When I was in Vermont the stores had mostly IPA beer and it was hard to find anything else.
My nephew thinks IPA is the best. I guess that is why they make different beers. I prefer a German Lager style. The best beer in the world is Erdinger Dunkle*. It is hard to find on a regular basis. My local beer supply store has some on order all the time for me.
So the IPA drinkers can have all they want of my share of IPA. And I always thought it was India Pale Ale designed to age in the barrel on the long trip from England to India before they started brewing their own beer.
* My opinion only, but I know I am right!
