I'm a little bummed that Anchor Steam isn't going to be sold near me (Ohio) anymore, specifically because it was one of the few microbrews I could always find that wasn't over-the-top hoppy or wheaty or sour or chocolate-syrupy.

But at least the all-IPA all-the-time trend seems to have died down, and I do see local breweries with more pilsners and Kölsches.




Just a comment from someone living around Köln, those are not true kölsch beers since they cannot see the Kölner Dom from their brewery.

I find it quite fascinating that americans like kölsch. The first time, and only time, I saw kölsch outside of Germany was in Mountain View at some beer auction style tap bar in 2016. It was quite popular since it had a high price. I might assume it was due to the similarity with local/large batch beer.


Yeah, pilsners seem to be the new hotness, and I couldn't be happier about it :)

(I've also very recently discovered how good NA/very-low-ABV beers are today, but that's a topic for a different thread.)
