If you noticed, we didn’t have Cumberlander and a few others today. The ‘vid is everywhere.

And like most of the world's great beers, even Corona and Dos Equis were originally started by German immigrants. You're welcome, Mexico.

LOL @ the Dutch.
Seriously though, Germany's very strict Reinheitsgebot (purity law), which governs what can go into the beer brewed in Germany and is over 500 years old, probably holds Germany back from being #1, though it's definitely a top 3-5 overall. The good thing about the Reinheitsgebot is that it ensures high quality and stops the addition of various additives and other chemicals. The bad thing is that it disallows today's fashionable flavorings such as rye, herbs, spices, coffee or fruit.
Most of the oldest breweries in the world are in Germany though, including what's generally considered to be the oldest of them all (Weihenstephan, established in 1040), but some of the youngest brewers in Germany are frustrated by the ancient Reinheitsgebot and are starting to challenge it.

I like Weihenstephan. Yes, very solid beer history volk, +2.
I like ale. It's much easier to brew, much quicker to brew, and as you noted, can easily add character to the flavor notes.
Germany can do pilsner and lager well. However, I'm a Belgian Ale guy right now. Ask me in five years, and my palate may change.
I used to love IPA's, now not so much.
And Dutch, huh? What's the general profile of Dutch beer?

Very kind of you to give me the +2. The truth is that I don't even like beer. I just never developed a taste for it. LOL
I was born in Germany to a German mother and American father and lived there for about 13 years growing up, so most people are shocked when I tell 'em I don't even drink beer. The reason I know some stuff about German beer and its history though is just out of a desire to learn more about something that's frankly a huge thing in my native country.
As far as Dutch beer goes, I've never tried it and have never even read anything about it, but I'm 54 years old and have never personally known anyone who felt that Dutch beer was the best or even among the best they've had. We all have different palates, and as you mentioned, they change over time, so I'm sure there are people out there who love Dutch beer; I've just never met one. Belgian has definitely been mentioned before though.

RE: How about you Corona spreadin fools get your ship together?
For Dutch, I like Amstel Lt just fine. Heineken is meh. What they lack in vibrant flavor though, they are still rock-solid consistent wherever you find them. Tradeoffs I guess.
For Kolsch, gotta be Gaffel, Reissdorf, or Fruh. Bonus points for good presentation if you have some stange glasses to serve it in.

While I enjoyed the Kolsch in Koln, give me a 49ers Kolsch from Armored Cow Brewery next to campus while I am getting my ship together.
