The two beers I’ve tried which I actively liked and would drink again were Schofferhofer and Doom Bar. Just had a quick look at their ingredients to see if they contain a lower amount of malted barley.
Doom Bar describes itself as having a “lightly roasted malt taste with succulent dried fruit” whilst Schofferhofer I struggled to find info for but I remember it being more sweet and fruity too.
In the future I’ll keep an eye out for beers that describe themselves as being lightly/subtlety malty maybe I’ll be able to find some more beers I like :D
I relate to this a lot.
I entered this thread expecting a lot of pushback and am relieved to hear a lot of people share my experiences.
I will reiterate what a lot of other people have said here: we must take care not to misdirect our anger towards dogs when in reality it’s the owners at fault. But it’s also perfectly okay to not like dogs or want to be around them in my opinion.
I personally don’t think it’s fair to hate any animal, including dogs. But I do think it’s fair to expect that dogs owned by people are trained and under control, especially when off of private property.
To add to this conversation, something that often gets my blood boiling is when on walks in nature reserves and seeing dogs off of leashes in areas marked as requiring dogs to be on leashes, or worse dogs off of leashes in areas where there are not meant to be any dogs at all.
Many of these areas are sensitive wildlife areas. Usually for me as a birdwatcher, these are areas with ground-nesting birds. It’s horrifying the amount of nests, eggs, and chicks of endangered or otherwise threatened species that get destroyed by dogs off of leashes.
Also, the people who don’t pick up their dogs poo. Or bag it up and then throw that bag on the ground/into a nearby bush??
