The rise of alcoholic seltzers and this very fine "Sun Cruiser" beverage is a qualified W for mankind

Hogarth valorized beer in his famous woodprints as being a symbol of English camaraderie and industriousness but afaik beer produced for domestic consumption at the time was not as hoppy. Heavy hop use in beer came from its anti-spoilage effects and imo has a very different effect on the psyche than a crisp German lager

It just fills you with urine and regret. Compare to the clean smooth taste of a vodka soda or perhaps a fine glass of mid-market Riesling and you will see there is no real comparison to be made at all

The Hop is a problem substance and must be examined further. It's a peasant drink

It tastes like piss, I always thought it was a thing you grow into, like coffee maybe, but its just piss, its warm and gross

I legitimately dont undertand the appeal, can a beer drinker please relate? What does it taste like, a "good" beer, what draws you in?

do all beer drinkers just not have working noses, also good job proving my point 1

Belgians aren't super challenging tbh although they are very rewarding and come with few of the issues stated elsewhere in the thread. A DT or even a more common Duvel is surprisingly clear, clean, and "heady", similar to some types of clean liqueurs. The most "challenge" in beer is in saisons and certain ales imo, saisons can be rich to the point of oiliness but typically have tres unique textures of different grain flavors. You could even identify different types of sesame notes in some saison ales with the right palate and frame of mind. People fixate on the hops in ale because Americans are " " but really the various wheats and ryes and what not are what make them distinct and interesting enough to flick thrice over the tooth

I also enjoy some novelty beers like DH's egypt brew (very grapey, novel and a delight against a grain background) and an occasional gose

Also beer isn't "icky" and I enjoy many traditionally masculine challenging drinks like peaty "mouth full of ash" islay scotches and Mayan spit tasting mezcals. It's just torpor inducing in a way other alcoholic beverages are not

I've seen places use it in cocktails lately. Like a MHL with some aperol and seltzer. It's pretty good

Mainly made this thread to rip on IPAs and hoppy "craft beers" which have long since jumped the shark with the "IBU" flame

They are an extremely "dull" beverage. A clean white wine or liquor sharpens and clarifies the spirit but an IPA is like putting on horse blinders and applying Mud Glasses to your cone of vision

The exception are high ABV beers -- so you can effectively have 2-3 drinks while the people you're with (ie. wife) think you're only having one.

A good lager is an experience unto itself. Most lagers are more for refreshment rather than the deeper enjoyment of palate activation though

But you need something to get along

You stare at the flatness

Beside the dark home

They'll not hear you whisper

This isn't where it ends
