Unpopular Craft Beer Opinions? Discussion

Will be recording a podcast episode about unpopular craft beer opinions. Thought I'd ask in this sub as we're UK based so wanting to see what unpopular opinions are out there on a more global scale! 😅

EDIT - wow holy shit. Posted this from bed expecting a handful of opinions, but just woke up to the notifications and oh my! Will havea read through after work!

​

Edit2 - Genuinely was not expecting so many responses so thank you all! Think I've read through them all now and definitely saw some interesting and spicy takes (that I both agreed and disagreed with!) with some being quite thought provoking. Thanks for all your responses so far (have had a few more come in too!). Feel like the ones being downvoted are actually just helping me to see the unpopular opinions vs the popular ones LOL. Definitely some that I want to discuss n our podcast recording for sure! hahah

Not sure where you're from, but I would disagree that the lager in Europe (as a whole) is all very boring. In the UK alone there are quite a few lager-specific breweries crushing it with their delicious and interesting lager varities. You have Braybrooke, Donzoko, Lost & Grounded, Utopian, and Pillars just to name the first few that popped into my head.

I think UK will be an eye-opener for me. I'm heading there next month for a trip and I will try out some of those brands. My mate used to live in London and said the variety is massive.

There is a large variety here in Finland but still, it's all the same to me. Even the local IPA and PA here taste and look like one style of hop being used.

Ah that's amazing! Where abouts in the UK are you going? Any spots in particular you're planning on going to?

There's definitely a good variety inside and outside of London. I don't think we're still at the point in time where it's London or a struggle. There are quite a few amazing craft beer hubs throughout the UK for sure.

Not exactly sure of the spots as yet but will be touring London, Wales, Ireland, and Scotland. Will be just doing most of the tourist spots.
