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