IPAs. The whole lot of them. Like drinking dirt when you expect a beer. Yes, even that one you think tastes good to people who don't like IPAs. That one especially tastes like shit.
For me it's the sour beers. I don't fucking get it. It actually gives me the urge to puke when I try to drink them.

I like IPAs, but I find it annoying that they've become the "default" style. Walk into a bar. ask for "a nice beer", and you have an 80% chance of being served an IPA.

-Amen.

I like pretty much any kind of beer that's made well, but I wish stuff like Belgian Ales, Porters/Stouts, Red/Brown ales got a bit more time in the Sun that has been completely blotted out by a legion of IPAs and their derivatives.

Here on the left coast I'm starting to see Wild ales (very much like a sour) starting to get a bit more attention, but that's another "love it or hate it" strong flavor profile type beer.

I kinda liked having one every once in a while when I could get them on tap, as I damn sure don't need a six pack, but most places I go around here don't seem to have sours.

Seems so uncommon to find a stout on tap at a regular bar (by which I mean one that only has like 4-6 beers on tap), and often times places will only have Guinness in a can, to which I say "no thanks".

- Guinness is the Natty Light of Stouts. Give me drinkable bread or give me death.

I will be in the Czech Republic later this year and I fully intend to drink my body weight in Pilsner though...

Thank you. I fucking love actual stouts. Like the kind of stout you have to chew before swallowing. Make that shit out of marshmallows, acorns, beets, I don't fucking care, I love stouts.
