My favorite bar has honkers, and most other goose island varieties, for $2 a bottle. Honkers is whatever, I just wanted to rub it in your face.

Beer nomenclature means dick-all these days, that's how.
It's an ale and it's hoppy and IPA's sell very well, so it makes sense that they'd call it that. More honest folks call these sorts of beers India Dark Ale, India Black Ale, Cascadian Dark Ale and probably a thousand others (hey, why not needlessly throw Imperial in there, too?), but IPA is recognizable even by non-snobs.

Never developped a taste for the stronger tasting stuff, probably never will...
