After trying big brands of beer, I find that they mostly taste awful. The craft beers from local breweries Ontario actually taste pretty good to me and are an interesting way to buy and experience local stuff.

I've found I really enjoy the lime-like taste of Hoppy beer so India Pale Ale-style is my go to. I really dislike carbonation so I don't drink soda, or any sparkling drink but beer is fine for me.

Well, craft beer is special but I wouldn't say it's representative of "liking beer". I like cheapo beer, and I like craft, it's just that each one has a different vibe

Absolutely, people drink and enjoy the familiar taste of brand-name beer, otherwise it wouldn't sell, right? I guess I just wanted to suggest to OP to try craft beers because it's what I enjoy a lot.
