    Edit: I redacted my comment as I don’t want to expose too much. Let’s just say most brewer’s I work together with have a passionate distaste for Guinness, mainly for the brewing process. But that may also be the elitist mindset of German brewers.

    I agree with the light lagers sentiment though. I personally despise them but the brewing knowhow behind them is pretty extensive.

    Anywho, it all boils down to personal taste and I can find better beers in most of these regions (haven’t been to all yet).

      So it’s literally that you just cannot work your mind around separating personal preferences from more objective statements. Good to know.

        Sure.

        Guinness isn’t considered good in the industry, plus I dislike the taste. I like the company behind it though. There we go. Shit like the American Budweiser or Beck’s is difficult to brew, but tastes like shit. Taste can be an objective thing too, hence why there are beer sommeliers. But sure, if insulting me makes you happy, I’m fine with that. Have a pleasant day mate!

          I agree that, of those shown here that I have tried, these beers are mostly in the inoffensive 4-6 out of 10 range. Like most things produced primarily for popularity over the art of the craft they intentionally do not push any boundries.

          Would you list off some beers that you think are good representations of the brewing art from your perspective.
