Yeah, a lot of breweries sprung up with a graphic design budget and not a lot of clue about beer. Some absolutely rank craft beers around. Seems like a challenge to find the weirdest combination of flavours. I'll pass on your dog **** and marshmallow cacao porter thanks.
You can't really go wrong with the Bavarian/Munich beers, most of the Belgian stuff is good, and there's a handful of craft beer companies who really do understand beer.
