Non-local beer preference

I usually enjoy pale lagers like the main products one is likely to be given when asking for Löwenbräu, Carlsberg, Tsingtao, Corona Extra, Asahi, Budweiser, Stella Artois, etc. However, to my surprise I find that the most popular Scottish pale lager, Tennent's, is not to my taste. I wonder what's with that. Perhaps it is more malty than I like? I know very little of beer.

Appreciating the return of longer days

I mostly do not like living at higher latitudes. On weekdays I am never at home in the daylight and summer is little recompense because it is then daylight at times I don't care, like when I am asleep. Agreeably it is now far enough from the winter solstice that I am getting to enjoy some daylight on my normal commute. At least having the sunlight back helps me to remember to appreciate it. I just have to also remember next time I move home or job to arrange not to live west of my workplace.
