Are you talking about overly hopped IPAs? Because even ignoring that some people legitimately like those these’s “craft beer” versions of every style of beer that exists
I was recently at a trendy store, and they were selling hops-flavored (non-alcoholic) seltzer water. I finally had to admit that some people must actually like the flavor. I figure these people spent years associating the flavor with alcohol’s feel-good brain chemicals, but I’m just guessing.
I mean, if you want a similar flavour and don’t want to drink beer, just stuff a fresh nug of weed in your mouth. You probably won’t even get stoned due to the bio-availability quirks of THC.
I enjoy (well, mostly used to since I’m not supposed to have wheat-based stuff anymore) a lot of them. I oddly have trouble with bitter chocolate and don’t enjoy certain veg with bitter compounds as much, but black coffee (depending on roast, I guess) and very hoppy and bitter IPAs were something I loved.
Craft beer. No way so many people genuinely enjoy that shit.

Not op, but yeah. If I wanted to drink a literal handful of hops I’d make a hops shake.
I like some craft beers that recognise that beer has more ingredients than just hops.
I hate IPAs, but there are some absolutely amazing amber craft beers out there. I’ll take that over a pilsner any day
I’ve had some really nice craft pilsners, and some absolutely vile ambers…guess it’s almost like people have different tastes 🤷
Yes, that is the point I was making…
Yes, that was the point I was agreeing with and reiterating.
Stouts and porters as well

I do hate that IPAs took over the craft beer scene. There are other good styles.
Even craft lagers are rarely drinkable
