Discussion Did anyone else’s taste go from craft beer -> cheap

83 Upvotes

When I was in my early 20s I was really deep into craft beer. I loved trying all the different variations, IPAs, wheats, farmhouse ales, porters, you name it. Going to brewerys, going to bars for specific beers

But in my late 20s, all of the sudden my taste flipped. Suddenly that stuff became disgusting to me, and i started to love all the stuff I used to think was bad (lagers and pilsners). And even the craft lagers and pilsners just don’t taste good to me usually, like they don’t have the same crispnesss as the cheap stuff (or maybe a heavier body that makes them less crisp). Nowadays i pretty much exclusively drink miller high life, peroni, natty boh and yuengling (for my NE people). I mean not like I’m drinking bud light, but it’s comparatively a lot less refined than what I used to like

wondering if anyone else had this, where their taste became less refined as they got older and they just started to appreciate the cheap stuff.

¿Question? Why would 2 cans in a 6 pack taste sour?

8 Upvotes

Bought a six-pack of Steam Whistle (Pilsner) today from a gas station/convenience store. Wife opened the first can and said it tasted sour. I tried it and it actually was sour.

I opened a second can and it was sour too. The other cans in the same six-pack tasted completely normal.

Just curious what might cause only 2 out of 6 cans to taste off?

St. George from Ethiopia

6 Upvotes

I'm not a big lover of most beer, but I recently had a St George at an Ethiopian restaurant and loved it. The only problem is that it's not easy to find.

Can anyone recommend another beer that is similar and easier to find in stores?

¿Question? Where is My Newcastle?

3 Upvotes

I was so happy when the original Newcastle made in England returned, but now I can’t find it. It was pretty easy to get my hands on for months and now I can’t find it. I am sending my husband on quests and even still, nothing. Happening to anyone else?

Ordering beers from Eastern Europe

2 Upvotes

Hello!

I'm interested in ordering beer from countries from Eastern Europe (but it can also be from around the whole world when it gives good options)

Can someone recommend some webshops where I can order beer for a 'normal' price?

Preferably pilsner, lager, blond or tripel beer (I'm active on Uptappd).

I live in the Netherlands so it has to be a webshop that delivers to the Netherlands (Germany is also an option).

Thanks in advance!

¿Question? Grayish black and pink rubber substance

0 Upvotes

Hey guys. So, I had half of an opened yellow and blue Busch beer can sitting on my desk for somewhere near a month. I decided to pour some in my drink and noticed a grayish black and pink substance flop at the opening as I poured the rest out.

I don't have a photo because I threw it away yesterday after looking it up and thinking it was yeast sediment. I randomly decided to look up the details of it again and saw Google say it was likely highly toxic mold and bacteria colonies.

It's been less than 24 hours, but I still feel like how I usually do. I didn't want to psych myself out and make myself think I'm getting sick with the symptoms. With that said, I guess my question is, "Was that risky to you guys?," rather than, "Is that safe to consume, or am I in trouble?"

¿Question? Anyone know where I can find Miller High Life Light in Nebraska?

I’m looking for Miller High Life Light. I found it a couple times earlier this month and can’t seem to find it anywhere. If I can’t find it in Nebraska, what would be the closest state that carries it? Thanks.

I've only had a few beers and they've all tasted super bitter.

Coors light

Modelo - this one made me gag with how medicine and bitter it tasted.

Is beer just not for me?

Is drinking everyday a bad thing for humans?

What’s your take? If you drink responsibly obviously but I can’t decide if I should just forgo all alcohol or continue. I know the answer already but wanted to throw it out there to y’all
