I know. I'm currently in Asheville, there's lots of breweries here and some really good beers. I'm just not such a big fan of ales, sours or ipas. I like a really good lager, and I'm living in Germany which has probably the best lagers in the world.
I have a lot of breweries in my area, they make very few lagers, most of their offerings are ales of various types. Lagers require more specific conditions and take more time so they're harder to do consistently at scale.
You can add prohibition to the list of US stuff I don't get. What made them think they could ban booze, something that's existed since before recorded history.
