So true. The nature of all the IPA’s is just that, ACIDIC and bitter. That’s NOT flavor.
And not too fond of ‘water’ beers or ‘blonde’ Euro-piss beers either. Not to be confused with the ‘pulls’ you get in an English pub, lovely stuff; both Bitters and Ales.
Dark beers these days rule; Stouts and Porters.
Yep, Schlitz WAS the cats meow back when the can had some weight, not this micro-thin aluminum can crap.
But the best were the rice beers for flavor, Falstaff and Pearl. gone gone gone.
I favor Smithwicks as a lighter ale, nice flavor, but at six bucks a pint vs. $2.50 for Bud or Yuengling, I’ll take the domestic if I’m having three of four. Except at the weekly Irish session at our local pub, four bucks then, imperial pint. Two’s enough to get me singin’!
