beer taps

Beer I’d like to try and beer I’ve tried. good I liked, ok were just ok, bad I didn’t like. Also see wine, chocolate, and other lists.

Naturally, this isn’t comprehensive - I’ve tried others that aren’t listed here - and it’s biased toward my taste. I tend to prefer darker beers: stouts, porters, and dark ales. I don’t mind lighter ales and lagers, but some, like lambics, I’m not a fan of.
