Nevermind "variety", I straight-up don't like beer that's dominated by hops flavors.
I’ve never understood the appeal
I'm convinced it's for people who have drunken so much alcohol that they don't feel anything when drinking other beers.
At least that's why I think my father loves drinking boot leather soaked in absinthe.
Thing is, where I live, it's not like most drinkers get started on something else. Pilsener is already dominated by hops and it's the beer here.
I can't really explain it. I didn't really like beer at all (and had actively tried to see if I could like it for years). A friend had me try a pineapple ipa and it was like a switch flipped in my brain. It started with IPAs and somehow now I like most beer now.
Tastes are weird.
Well kudos to you for being able to enjoy multiple styles. I like IPA'S alot nowadays but at first they all tasted like grapefruit to me.
