Many of you helped me find a place to start my beer journey. I have been going to craft, off and on for a few months now.
I have tried maybe 20 beers, and I (on purpose) dont write them down, so I can keep trying new ones, and not go back for seconds. After this amount of time I have found that I truly enjoy sour beer, especially the blood orange ones or citrus ones, and also like the Belgium beers, the ones that come in the little 7 oz brown bottles and are higher alc than normal beers…dont really have a favorite of those, but keep trying them and more or less like them all. I found I dont really like the very hoppy beers, and dont really like the dark beers, yet I really like guiness…go figure.
I just seem to like my beer on the light, refreshing, and citrus side.
As far as dark Belgians, you probably already had this, but if not, get it. I think it is quite simply, the best beer in the world. At least that you can easily buy.

Write down what you are drinking! We are curious about the actual beers you are liking.
When referring to the strong Belgians, you might want to at least keep tabs on whether the beer is a Dubbel, Tripel, or Quadrupel. These are fairly distinctive styles, so you may decided you like or dislike one of those styles.
Personally, I love the Tripel and Quad, and am hit or miss on the Dubbels.
I have tasted through now maybe 100 beers. I know this isnt much to some of you, but its been fun and I want to keep going. I like hitting the local beer pub with 50 beers on tap and just trying 4 oz samplers.
I probably have tried 20 different lambics now and only found one I did not really care for.
Its fun. I am even trying a few hoppy beers (still under 60 ibu).
