    This is how this works: name a beer (or a style of beer) that you don't like. The next poster, reply by naming a beer in the same style category that you think may change that person's mind.


    I do no like Doppelbocks. I find them nauseatingly sweet. When I tried Korbinian, it smelled like wet dog. Name a Doppelbock I might like.

    Ayinger Celebrator. This might not work for a lot of people. I don't like APA/IPA/DIPAs. Tried a bunch and don't like any. I didn't like Pliny either, but I haven't tried Heady and I doubt it'll change my mind.

    After replying to the previous poster, name a beer or style you don't like.

    try dirtwolf by victory. i say this as my wife was never into ipa's in any form, and loved dirtwolf! i was floored, and now she will try them, liking some more than others.

    i just cannot get into pils. i will drink them, but i have never had a pils where having a second was a prevailing thought.

    If you can get your hands on Almanac's Heirloom Pumpkin, that's pretty darn good.

    I guess my most "meh" style would have to be Brown Ales (there are a few other styles where I dislike most examples but have a few exceptions; can't think of anything like that for Browns).

    Not even Prima Pils? Checkout Citra Mantra from Otter Creek.

    I cannot stand Scotch Ales, unless it's aged in a bourbon barrel for 12-13 months.

    I'd try some more malty east coast ipa's like 60 minute or Hop Devil or maybe even Bells Two Hearted if you're not a fan of west coast hop bombs or maybe even some English pale ales like Abbot Ale or Samuel Smith's. Might give you a new perspective on the style if you haven't tried that route yet

    I can't stand Scotch/Wee Heavy Ales....something about the sweetness

    Old Chub on Nitro. If you've had the regular can and didn't like it, give the nitro can a try. To me, it makes it a completely different - and better! - beer.

    Try celebration by Sierra Nevada, as for me I do not really like black ales.

    I don't like them for exactly the same reason. I have one with coffee at home that should cut that sweetness. I will report back.

    Celebrator has exactly what the OP didn't like dialed up to 11 :slight_smile:

    Nearing the end of the shelf life for the year but Schlafly Tasmanian IPA. Lacks much of the bite many other IPAs have, also Chillwave by Great Lakes, but I think that is a spring beer.

    This is pretty general, but not a huge fan of lagers. Find almost all of them to be uninspired (very broad generalization)

    Looking over some of your top-rated beers, maybe you'd like a floral-heavy IPA? Two Hearted would fit that bill. Another of my personal favorites is MBC's Lunch—just a really well-made beer.

    DFH India Brown Ale is pretty exceptional, the sweetness that most browns have is less present and balanced well with a nutty/coffee roastiness and plenty of hop flavor.
