nettlesome

Topic or subject which is not easy to discuss/understand. It may also be used in case of an issue from which it is very difficult to draw valid conclusions from, due to its complexity or the lack of expertise on the subject from the speaker, for example.

On the subject of comparing Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple in terms of guitar virtuosity, I think that's a rather nettlesome issue.

Utility beer

Utility beer is the beer you keep around for the day-to-day moments when beer is a necessity to assist in pedestrian activities (golf, plumbing, yardwork, babysitting, staff meetings, Zoom calls). For the beer snob it is the beer you save for neighbors when they drop in at 3 p.m. on a Tuesday. It is differentiated from the actual high-end beer you save for special events, holidays, and special tastings.

Person 1: Dave, did you bring along those hazy craft IPA's so we could drink while cleaning Lyle's pool?
Person 2: Nope. I just have a bunch of utility beer that Steve dumped on me. Good enough for this. It is only 10:30 a.m.
