Belgian ales are where it's at.
Sour beers are where it's at
Breweries are everywhere now but when I go and there isn’t even one sour on the list I get really disappointed.
I had the best sour a few weekends ago in NH. I really wish there was a wider variety around. They’re always my favorite. Love a good stout too.

Ugh same here, every selection is half IPAs. Not a fan myself but the history behind the style is my favorite beer "origin story". It would help if more breweries listed the hops used. To me that's the key to knowing if I'll like it

Help, I'm stuck in a boring-ass red state so even some IPAs would be an IMPROVEMENT. Nothing but "Natural Light" here now that Bud Light got cancelled.

I agree. Shitty IPAs are shitty, but I guess that is by definition.
Never had a beer I liked, and EVERY SINGLE TIME a friend will tell me what they like is actually good "you can't even taste the beer flavor, just the blank" and every single time, it tastes like beer with no hint of the blank.
Same. I gave up on beers years ago. I accept it's not worth my money anymore just in hopes of figuring out what people like about it. I still enjoy some wines (though relatively few and I wouldn't consider it an amazing taste). Mixed drinks are really where it's at. Can't go wrong with spiced rum and diet coke! There's also so many very delicious sugary mixed drinks, but I try to minimize those because it'd take like 500+ calories to get a buzz.

I feel you.
I brew my own beer just have a decent Munich style lager.

I did a Sweet 16 bracket elimination contest for regional IPAs a few years back just to force myself to identify the 'good' ones and eliminate bad ones. Even after doing that, I do a little dance any time there's something else available.
God, I thought I was the only one. relief
Looking at you New Belgium. How many damn IPA's do you need? "Cigarette butts in a can" all taste the same.

You from the states? Over here in Germany I can get (in a 5 km radius):
- Pilsener
- Hefeweizen
- Schwarzbier
- Porter
- Kölsch
- Lager
- Export
- Bock
- Helles
- Alt
- Kellerbier
- Landbier
- IPA
- Stout
- Red Ale
- Brown Ale
- dubbel/trippel/quadruppel
- ...
We can get almost all of those here, too, though the traditional German ones seem to be less common. What bothers me is that IPA, fine brews, have been a freaking obsession here for about 10 years, and it's driving me nuts. It's at the point where one says "I want a craft beer" and they list 10 IPA, one lager, one amber ale, and Guinness.
C'mon people, take your heads out of your asses and look around!

I've switched back to regular old boring Heineken. Gimme something crispy and watery that won't weigh me down at 10am.

Me, who drinks an imperial IPA: Umm, yeah, totally annoying that there aren’t more… pilsners?
