Czech beer is really good.

Guiness is definitely an acquired taste, I was told by my doctor to drink Guiness as my blood was low in iron. It took a little while to get the taste, where I actually enjoyed drinking it.

I think I would take an iron supplement before I drunk Irish bitumen.

I am noticing that my beer tastes have been changing recently and I have started enjoying lower alcohol products more, both the Russians and Ukrainians produce excellent zero alcohol lagers, the Obolon 4.2% is pretty good as well, the Lithuanian Rinkuškiai range of beer is interesting but spans the range of "pretty good" to "bloody awful", the Seno Rusio is nice.

I prefer my beer to have between 5-7% alcohol. I am careful with the beer drinking because I am prone to get gout and that is really painful. I have found a replacement which I drink during parties and that is gin with grapefruit soda

Obolon also produce a 6.8% beer which isn't bad.
The Dutch brewery Herzog Jan has some interesting beers mostly high alcohol though.

The darker beer (stout and some darker ales) usually have a higher amount of alcohol than lagers.

I tasted quite recently a dark lager from the Czech brewery Bernard and it was pretty good. I really like their regular lager. I haven't tasted their different ales yet

We are going through a variant of the IPA craze at the moment, every man and his dog are producing a Hazy IPA.
Essentially they are an IPA without the Hoppy bitterness, some are pretty good.

I tasted really awful IPAs. I avoid Swedish IPAs, we have governmentally owned liquor stores and I have stepped on mines when I have bought IPAs. I have that I want to taste new beers and it doesn't end well sometimes.

Well if you find a Hazy IPA try it, it is very different to a normal IPA.

Bud Light has caused a reaction after their cooperation with a trans gender guy. Kid Rock's reaction was quite direct and rather funny. I think Bud Light has done a huge mistake.

Bud Light is a canoe beer, like many other American mainstream beer

I think the "outrage" from right wing conservatives is largely the caterwauling of a dying breed and the sooner it keels over the better as I am growing tired of the hypocritical, angry at everything BS they espouse.
That said I really don't understand what they were trying to achieve by the campaign.
Whether or not it was a mistake remains to be seen, for now it is a flop but future generations may not see it that way.
However, none of this changes the fact that Bud in all its forms is a bloody horrible beer.
