The most interesting development in the past few years of beer was probably the Brut IPA fad. Not for Brut IPAs themselves really, but because it was a move towards drier, leaner beers instead of the endless trend towards bigger, sweeter or smoother. The use of added enzymes was an interesting technique too. I maintain that Orval is one of the best, most drinkable beers there is, and almost unique in the way it blends a firm, but not extreme bitterness, abundant carbonation and complete dryness. It reminds me of sparkling wine in the way it's so "edgy" yet drinkable. Saisons and sour beers sometimes move in this territory, but can easily get either flabby or too sour. I'd love to see beers in the mold of Orval exploring light tartness and the techniques used for Brut IPAs. There's a lot of room for good low-ish ABV lagers and pale ales too, but at the moment I find natural wine/the whole glou-glou thing to have overtaken beer in terms of drinkability, which should be corrected.

There’s also no reason for the diacetyl in too many of these pilsners that breweries near me are starting to push. So if the choice is between a WC IPA and some other beer that is a stretch for a lot of these places, I’ll grab the IPA still every time.

Man, my local macro lager is such poo poo. It's meant to be a pilsner, and it only has traditional saaz hops in it, yet it is weirdly fruity and somewhat flabby. It tastes like a bad kölsch.

Pick up some beers from European breweries if you haven't before, or have forgotten them. I usually pick up whatever is new from the few local breweries I like but also a couple of European beers from the older breweries, usually pilsners and such I have never tried before. Vander Ghinste Roodbruin was something I had recently, really good.
