Is bitter a common thing with pilsners? I prefer IPAs for that factor, and I'm looking to expand my experience with variety.
I've seen the word, never known much of what it meant. I like knowing what things mean before I buy them.
Why aren't 'beer tastings' a thing? Like they do with wine, but beer? Do they happen in other countries, maybe?
Method of Madness:
They are, to a certain extent. If you go to some breweries they'll give you free samples, or cheap flights so you can try everything.
TRVA123:
Hoppier pilsners are also becoming a growing thing, at least in the US. I'd recommend Firestone Walker's PIVO, Lagunitas Pils, and 5 rabbit Super Pils (not extremely hoppy, it just happens to be my favorite pilsner.)

This is what I'm drinking tonight.
It was much more expensive than what I thought; the price tags were switched. This is apparently a fucking amazing double bock from Ayinger brewery in Bavaria. They've had since the 1800's to figure this shit out. I have high expectations. I'm an IPA guy as far as I've experienced to this point, but I'm trying to branch out, and not many people know this, but Germany apparently has a reputation for making quality beer, you guys. Like, it's apparently, a thing over there?*
Also, each bottle comes with a tiny plastic horse, as pictured above.
This beer has across the board amazing ratings.
I do not know what percent of that consists of people bought off with teeny plastic horses. I don't know how many people could be bought off with teeny plastic horses, but I expect it's more than you'd think, because humanity's fucking weird.
*I am facetious.

It's a goat. And I'm an idiot.
