Hi everyone it's the beer thread here in GBS where we can post about beer and beer related stuff. Eventually over time I may turn this OP into something actually interesting but until that day

My favorite part about beer is people using increasingly detailed and slightly abstract ways of insulting other people's favorite beer such as "dirty ginger ale mixed with collapsed well water" and "industrial slag runoff filtered through a permanent marker"

I don't drink as much beer as i used to but I'm not lying when i say i actually like a hoppy IPA. I'm not sure why there's SO MANY memes about people pretending to like them.

Beer is OK but I've switched to bubbly water instead because I have a problem. Better than putting down a pint of cheap vodka or a 12 pack of Miller every night.

My local brewery does NEIPAs and sours and as someone who doesn't love hoppy beers, I too am confused people think it's a pretend thing. Hops are bitter and people loving love bitter things, sorry

theres an absolute gently caress load of super hoppy but otherwise poo poo IPA's out there. They definitely peaked and subsided over the last decade or two, which is why you have NEIPA's because its the right amount of bitter without all the suck. A great example of this is Columbus Brewing Company's standard IPA. Their whole lineup is really good, see Bodhi, Creeper, and dozens of other great beers. But, their "IPA" sucks balls. Super bitter and if you add one to a night of several beers, it will be solely responsible for making you feel terrible the next day

I pretty much drink soft drink and soda water these days. But beer is tasty no doubt. I don't get the fascination for Pilsners, the blandest of the beers. IPAs are my main squeeze but sours, Belgians, stouts, loving whatever, a good beer is a good beer.

Pilsner is a great style. I think, much like IPA's, people just get worn out and over sours and big hops, and big flavours and so many sub-par versions of them, and go back to just a well made beer. And I reckon especially if you have brewed beer you have a respect for getting such a clean crisp beer, and so many breweries gently caress it up, a perfect Pilsner is just a joy.

Usually cheaper, yet also better, just go for the older Euro stuff. Its everywhere, and its consistent.

I like almost all beers, including commercial lagers and microbrew IPAs. Defining yourself by a drink flavour is a bit silly

No one really does this. People do enjoy stuff and thats normal.

I know when something new happens in my small boring town Im on it and I enjoy it, and my more boring friends with kids call me a hipster or just poo poo on it.

Thats because they have to create a reason to not enjoy things anymore.

A reason other than their bad decisions.

I think the return to "traditional" styles is a direct response to the oversaturation of IPAs, NEIPAs and Sours. I enjoy pretty much every beer out there

though there is one beer I hate, like actually hate with my heart and soul
