chemically aged the beer, they all taste the same, in a category (lager, ale)

  It always tasted the same to me in my drinking days.
  I couldn't taste any difference in any of the brands.
  One thing I didn't like was lite beer.  I didn't want to pay for a
watered down beer.
  When asked if I wanted a lite beer I always said no, I wanted hi-test,
the real thing.  :)

> I rarely drink beer any more

  I had two when in NYC in May 2019, at a neighbourhood bar.
  In the mid-90s I worked as a front gate cashier for a local amusement
park three days a week.  (At the time I was working like four or five different
jobs at the same time, part time.  Some where a half days with the morning
at one place and another that af
   Anyway, it was a hot, humid August day.  There was no breeze, the air
was stagnant and just miserable out.
   I thought a cold beer would be nice after work so got a six pack of Sam

  YT.  There are sites which review, discuss, etc cars of all years.  I
bookmark them in a "cars" folder by year.
  Some are current reviews, some are commercials from the era, some are
salesmen training films, etc.  
  I can provide a list of links if you like.
