I'm not a big fan of micheladas either. I too enjoy adding lemon. I remember that in Venezuela was once commercialized a very light beer with lemon . It was very fresh, but very weak. Maybe that's why they stopped selling it. It was an okay beer for me back then, but definitely not a go-to choice

A very light beer with lemon! Sounds like the perfect combination for Venezuelan climate! Really, my preference for dark, flavorful beers has a lot do with living more than 2.2km above sea level. But at lower elevations, plus closer to the equator, I'm sure I would choose the lightest beer and dilute it further still with lime juice.
It highly depends on climate. When I moved to Peru's sierra my taste shifted to darker beers. So much that when I tasted again the beer I used to drink in Venezuela I was disappointed, it tasted like cold nothingness to me 😂 it even seemed watery .
I guess that's the idea of diluted light beers: they are supposed to refresh and hydrate, more than be a mouthful of strong flavor. On the opposite end are the extremely dark (and not so bubbly) beers popular around the British Isles. With those brews I have often wondered if I should eat them with a spoon...
Solera by Polar has some marzen, black, etc.. and they're quite unpopular I'm Venezuela. And very rare to find. In my last visit I went to a place named "Beer Garden" and they only had two types of beer.. and of the same brand. I was speechless hahahaha .
Beer with a spoon, that reminded of a beer I tasted last year, it was so thick I made a similar comment
Hahaha, in Germany people like to make fun of "whatever counts as a beer garden in the world". See, in Germany that designation is protected, and there are a number of criteria a place must comply with. Some examples are: it must be open air, have gravel covered ground, self service (no waiters), chestnut trees, benches instead of chairs, dogs must be welcome, and you must be allowed to bring your food to eat it there, if you wish. Oh, and yes, they should also serve beer, hopefully more than one type, hehehe!
