Would you believe. The country that makes the most beer in the world is China.

i tried Chinese beer.

My favorite beer now is from Holland.

European beers have more of a 'hoppy' tastes. Local brews also.

Im not a fan of fruit in beer.

I can only drink one Guiness. Too filling.

You're a braver man than my husband.
 
For my birthday on year, our son gave me a growler (one liter aluminum container with stopper) with a local IPA. I then found a local brewery where I could get it filled. I then found that I could get it at Trader Joe in 12 oz cans:).
My favorites now in SoCal are:
Chief's Peak IPA from Topa Topa
Lizard's Breath from Figueroa Brewing
YMMV

Have you been to any of their taprooms? Very cool places. Pre-pandemic, breweries were high on our list of places to gather with family and friends. Almost all are family friendly with plenty of games for little kids. Also, non-aggressive dogs are welcome on the outside patios.
 
My all time favorite beer is Blondie Bock from Mammoth Brewing Company in Mammoth Mountain, California. It's a lighter colored bock that's bourbon barrel aged and it is amazing. It is only available at the brewery and a place down in Costa Mesa, California which is about 400 miles away from here. We bought two bottles (22 oz bottles) last time we were at the brewery about three years ago.

I also love a hefeweizen but they are somewhat all over the place. I love the ones with a somewhat banana and spice aroma that kind of reminds me of banana bread. The best I've ever had was one in the Munich airport from the brewery they have at the airport. It fit my description perfectly.

I generally prefer porters and stouts but I also enjoy a good saison, brown ale, Scottish ale and other types. I also like some fruity beers. Pyramid in Berkeley, California makes an apricot ale which is wonderful. I also like some watermelon beers, but don't remember which one was my favorite.

I rarely like an IPA as I'm rather sensitive to hops and they generally taste too bitter to me. I'm also not very keen on sours because they tend to be too sour for me.

One of my favorite things to do when going to a brew pub or brewery is to get their sampler and try what they have.

There's something about humans that makes things you loved get stale.
You can't eat the same food day after day without getting bored.
It's the same with coffee and the same with beer or anything else.
The novelty wears off and you start searching again for something that sits just right on the palate.
As far as beer goes. Some are better than others but I have never tasted a bad beer except once.
It was a hot day at the golf course and someone was ranting about ginger beer.
One gulp and my stomach or my ulcer or whatever revolted. I got such a cramp I couldn't get rid of it for hours.
I don't see it on the market anymore.
 
My 'partner' will go anywhere for 'Rocket Man' beer and likes to drink 'Jaipur'. I once went on a micro brewery visit. I kept asking lots of questions about the brewing process but realised this was not a fact finding tour but a drinking tour. Haven't been to once since but did enjoy looking at the hops and tasting them etc.

In the 70s, I enjoyed Champale and Pink Champale which were malt liquors with some of the properties of champagne (bubbly) and not bitter like other malt liquors. But as the years passed, they apparently changed the recipe. Just didn't taste the same. I don't see it anymore.
