Does anyone else find it that once going to bitter ales that one doesn't really enjoy lagers that much anymore?

I still enjoy great lagers like New Belgium Blue Paddle. Always have and always will. ;^)
Once I discovered good beer I lost interest (not that I had much) in stuff Bud and Coors, no doubt about that. But I doubt I'll ever be bored with, say, Celebrator or Prima Pils.

Nope...there's still several lagers I drink more or less frequently, in no particular order of preference (and obviously, some are better than others, but all are certainly palatable):
Pilsner Urquell Blue Paddle Polestar Pilsner Lagunitas Pils Grolsch Warsteiner Dinkel Acker CD-Pils Sam Adams Boston Lager Anchor Steam Leinenkugels Aass Bitburger Samuel Smith's Harp Blackened Voodoo
There's plenty of good Marzen/Octoberfest lagers available also.
That said, my first preference will always be a good IPA.
Cheers,
Not remotely. Give me a good Czech pils, a nice schwarzbier, a beautiful Baltic porter, a finely crafted Bavarian helles, any number of doppelbocks (especially the orgasmically good Andechser Dunkel), a puckeringly dry north German pils anyday, and I'm a happy boy.
And I love a good pint of properly pulled bitter. One need not enjoy one overly broad category and exclude the other.
Or maybe you weren't aware that there's more to lagers than the flabby, fizzy yellow stuff?

I can still enjoy Leines
Isn't Bass an ale?

Indeed. Apparently I'd had a bit much whilst composing the list.

Don't be so hard on yourself and have another beer. On my newsreader at least, the beer you listed between "Leinenkugel" and "Bitburger" was "Aass" NOT "Bass"...
I haven't seen it in ages, but I used to love Aass Bock.
