Do I need to use inversion after an opinion phrase?

Answer 1

Opinion phrases such as "Ich denke, dass.." or "Ich bin der Meinung, dass.." are followed by a normal sub-clause with the verb being in the last position, e.g. "Ich bin der Meinung, dass Bier gut schmeckt." With "Meiner Meinung nach..." you do just use inversion and say "Meiner Meinung nach schmeckt Bier gut."

I hope this answers your questions.
