Especially since I asked for a style, described it, and was argued with that that other thing they had was what I was asking for, but it wasn't.
I.e . Session ipa not same as English bitter.
Had a ginger gose that was super malty. For my taste, kind of not the best combination...

But for some reason my I always end up...
