A lot of belgian and sour beers are legit delicious. Higher gravity ales are tasty just by virtue of the ethanol overpowering everything. And there are a few rare styles that are tastier more often than they're not. I had a pumpkin schwarzbier yesterday which was the tits, but it's really the exception to the rule.

Most standard lagers, IPAs, brown ales, session ales, etc are just weak pissy yeasty swill. The hops tastes like shit and gives me a headache, and the yeast/carbonation makes me bloat like a bitch on her period.

I think there is definitely a bubble of microbreweries. Seems to be 4-5 in every town now and most of the beer sucks.

I brew my own beer as a hobby. You learn a lot of interesting things. It's significantly easier to make a good tasting IPA than it is to make a good Hefeweizen, Porter, or even a Lager. That's why you walk into a new hip brewery and 8 out of 10 beers are IPAs, their brewers just suck and their customer base is even worst. I still drink IPAs every once and awhile, but really suck of this hip basic brew scene that forgets there is dozens of other good styles to drink and judge a brewer off of. Once this is realized, you'll see a bunch of breweries go out of business.

Beer is literally the reason that society came to exist and it saved us from extinction thousands of times over.

>Many of us would not be here if ancestors hadn’t gotten drunk and fucked each other.

Beer predates bread and distilled liquors. Along with wine, cider, and mead it was the only alcohol available, but its boiling during the brewing process made it safer than water to drink in medieval and ancient civilazations. As a social elixir, it helped fuel the relationships and sharing of ideas that led to revolutions and great philosophical/artistic movements.

Try Belgian Trappist ales like China’s sometime. Or try good British ales or German lagers. There’s good beer out there.

Beer was used for hydration of the troops and morale booster of the troops, making them reckless.

Yeah, but they aren’t beer. Beer, wine, mead, cider, and other similar non-distilled liquors were the only options for millennia. Beer was the healthiest and best of those due to the boiling sterilizing nasty ancient water during brewing and all the nutrients that were left in there.
