Personally, I'll take a crisp, moderately hoppy Pilsner over a lager any day...
But back to the lager, this editorial just popped up in my feed:
Are Lagers the gateway to craft beer snobbery?
https://www.winemag.com/2020/12/15/b...-palate-lager/
For me, it is the IPA, that and the fact that most of my beer drinking friends still drink like they are in college, i.e. they like any and all beer, as long as it is reasonably priced.
Interestingly enough, my gateway into bitter beers was through ESBs in London circa 1987. Those forever changed my palate. In regards to beer, that is.

I picked up some Lagunitas Willetized at Trader Joe's yesterday on a whim as I tend to like Lagunitas' stuff. Man is it good. I wish I'd picked up a few more 4 packs. It's very alcoholic but hides isnt overwhelming. It's very well balanced between the flavors. Just a really good big stout and a very nice semi-surprise.

Bob's Your Uncle ESB
Moonraker Brewing Company, Auburn, CA
ABV: 5/0%
My introduction to drinking and enjoying beer actually took place in 1987 on a summer trip to London. Up to that point in life I had been a wine cooler drinker (I know, the shame, the shame).
I immediately got sucked into London pub culture and the tasty goodness of an ESB.
I honestly have not had an ESB since those days, so this was a bit of a nostalgic taste trip for the mouth. Nice even balance between malty sweetness and hoppy bitterness made this an easy drinker after a day of skiing.

ESB used to be a style you saw all the time and now it's become a real rarity.

Yup. Same with a few other styles as well. I'm having trouble finding saisons these days. None of the bottle shops I go to seem to have them, even bevmo had none.
Nice barrel aged beers seem to be getting harder to find as well. Bottle shops here used to have a whole aisle or multiple coolers of them, might have just a handful of bottles now.
Currently sipping on this - always buy it when I can find it

Just my $0.02, but I think some brewers have priced themselves out of the barrel-aged beer market, and it's leading to stores stocking fewer of them.
I get that a lot of time, effort, etc. goes into these beers, but you have to be delusional to think someone is going to be $20-30 for a 12 ounce or 500mL bottle of beer. There is a cooler of singles at my LLS, most are 12 ounce or 500mL beers, and almost all of them are $20+. That is preposterous for beer. Plenty of 750mL barrel aged bottles are $30+ now. It doesn't cost 2-3x as much to make those beers now as it did a couple of years ago. It's unvarnished greed.
I do love a good saison though. I had a great one of Logsdon back in the fall that I highly recommend tracking down. It was like $16 for a 4-pack of pints.
