Lagers taste like cold watered down piss to me.

Stouts are too bitter for me but that doesn't mean some aren't great. Only had a handful though.

American craft beer is drinkable at a stretch but the taste seems artificially enhanced and is too much. They just don't know how to make beer and are trying to make up for it.

(Real) IPA and pale ales are where it's at. Wide variety, some are good some and amazing most are good. More flavour than lager, not too overpowering like American or stout's.

Copper/amber beer. That can be great too but I prefer IPAs.

Wheat beer is also awesome it's what lagers try to be.

Ciders can be great but I'm not some huge farming bloke so don't tend to drink then too much because you can't get good scrumpy near me.

Fruity ciders are good but only for one or two or you get diabetes.

Pilsners can be okay/good but they need to come from central Europe.

I can get people not liking them and being a baby about the whole situation. But the flavours are so varied you either come from a country that makes shit beer or you haven't tried enough. You're just thick if you can't imagine how anyone could like them. It's like saying every curry in the world is terrible and everyone is just pretending.

Even coming from a country that makes shit need is no excuse. There are countries that make good beer and they send it overseas. And they're are good microbreweries EVERYwhere.
