    I feel you.

    I brew my own beer just have a decent Munich style lager.

    I’d like a beer that doesn’t taste bitter to me. I know this is probably me because I am very sensitive to bitter tastes (I can even taste the light bitterness of artificial sweeteners in drinks). But I’d love to experience an alcoholic beverage for once without the bitter taste.

      I think part of the problem is that alcohol itself tastes bitter. So I guess look for quite a low-alcohol beer, maybe a fruity one with not much hops…

      sour beers in my experience tend to be less bitter.

      modelo especial with lime juice is about my favorite non-craft beer. usually i tend to favor less-bitter beerd myself such as witbiers, kolsch, or hefeweisens. there are some IPA’s I like and will drink but I find that most of the ones I prefer tend to be on the less-bitter side for an IPA (which means they’re still bitter-er than most non-IPA beers).

    Depends where you live. Areas with a smaller craft brew scene do end up with the “nothing but IPA” problem. But where I live in the PNW there’s simply so damn many that even with 50% of them being IPA’s, you still get a huge selection of other pilsners, stouts, amber ales, hefenweizens… its pretty nice.

      My comment isn’t disagreeing with you. Only adding my two cents.

      I live in an city that is on the top 10 list for breweries per capita in the world. And it’s all IPAs. Maybe 20% is not. And yeah it’s nice that I have 20 beers to chose from that aren’t ipas when I go to a place with 100 taps. I just hate having to sort though it all.

      There should be an IPA menu, and a non ipa menu.

      Also: IPAs have a lot of sugar content, and combined with alcohol sugar gives me a shitty buzz and a headache. I don’t know how people can drink more than one.

        My IPAs and my pilsners finish at the same final gravity. IPAs do not universally have a lot of sugar. It’s the same as any other beer of similar alcohol content/starting gravity. If I got rid of the hops, I’d just have a strong English ale.

          I believe you. You obviously know more. But it just seems so clear when I drink something crisp and light that I’m not getting that sugar high and headache I associate with strawberry daiquiris. But I get it from IPAs.
