I love my real ale and craft beers, especially the really hoppy ones.
I just can't get my head around these sours though. Tried a few and have found almost all of them truly shite. Anybody on here like them? An I missing something?

Agreed dont like sour beers ,give me hoppy, malty or good old fashioned bitter anyday.

Whilst I enjoy real ales and craft beers some of the latter are utter swill. Marketing masterpiece where drinkers have allowed themselves to be conned into paying more for the luxury of drinking piss from small cans.

Had a freebie beer52 delivery I’ve been working through. The James beer was pretty unusual and not something I’d have again, but the tiny rebel key lime lager was particularly nice. The can looks like a soft drink, but tastes delicious. Deff one for a hot day and a bbq.
In the form of his life.

Not for me either, a totally different style but one I find just as rank is a smoked Porter which I recently tried, it was the only time I’ve ended up tipping perfectly good ale down the sink, tasted like someone had liquified that Bavarian smoked cheese, terrible stuff.
On the opposite end of the spectrum to the sour beer are these high abv sickly sweet desert like stouts, how anyone manages a full can is beyond me, far too sweet...

Had to give up on things like Beer52 as there was always a couple of diabolical sours or vanilla stouts - or 2.5% Frontier “table beers” padding out the case making the ones I actually enjoyed seem very expensive.

I'm convinced they're a joke being played on us by the breweries. Sour or lambic beers are growing in popularity on the continent for reasons I can't fathom. They're gross.
Most 'craft' distilleries seem to be in an arms race to see who can make the most bitter liquid possible, and have never heard of a beer that isn't an IPA. I miss real ale
