Beer is an aquired taste. Period.

I've come to enjoy beer more in the last few months, especially amber ales. Mmmm...

I don't like any alcohol myself, but everyone probably thinks that's weird

Don't see the appeal at all. I'd rather have Dr. Pepper or Sweet Tea

Im the same way, while getting drunk can be fun, beer sucks... bad.

Cheap beer tastes awful.

word. my fridge has never been stocked with cheap beer this year. nothing less than 5$/6-pack. i only drink cheap beer if its free

beer wasnt an acquired taste... neither was coffee, for me. some people dont like them initially because all theyve had was cr8p

 

[ShotgunSteven]

My brother-in-law introduced me to good beer before I had a chance to try the cheap stuff. If only every beer drinker could be so lucky.

Cheap beer is nasty, good beer can be quite refreshing. Also, there's a huge difference in the taste of ales, lagers, porters, and stouts.

I can go with that, but the the only American "Beer" I've tasted is The Bud, and it tasted of absolutely nothing.

Yah I started on Milwaukee's Best. "THE BEAST"

BTW, I didn't know so many people from ATOT drank piss!

 

[maziwanka]

i'm not a fan of beer, but i understand its appeal.

its an acquired taste.

 

[clamum]

When I first tasted beer I hated it (probably 15 years old). Now I'm 21 and love it.

 

[Electric Amish]

You have to try them until you find one you like. I didn't care for most of them until I tried some of the darks.

Moose Drool, Beck's Dark, Guinness. All very good (in that order ). :thumbsup:

[anxi80]

need to try some quality beer, like: king cobra, schlitz, pabst blue ribbon, 8ball, carta blanca, mickeys, colt45...

"Beer sucks!"



The OP is a veritable genius, I say! :roll:

 

[Descartes]

I'm sure you've tried a sample sufficient in size to draw such a generalization of beer? I'm guessing that you've probably only sampled a few, and no doubt all of the same kind. That would be akin to generalizing wine after tasting Boone's Farm.

Diversify your palate a little please.

I'd say it's more like comparing 2 day old lukewarm unfiltered tap water with floaties and Sprite. But that may just be me.

I was a bit spoiled, being a teenager in Germany and starting out on german beers. The first time I ever tried a Coors Light I nearly spit it out, then exclaimed "What the hell is this?"

Man, if you're drinking bitter beer, you're drinking the wrong beer.

 

[PunDogg]

A good, cold lager is my second favourite thing on earth.

Agreed. It tastes especially bad if you decide you're going to only spend $3 on a six-pack. Most American beer tastes pretty nasty, especially if it gets warm whatsoever.

And, since you mentioned Belgium... I just discovered a new Belgian beer at the local beer shop... Stella Artois. Very good, IMHO.
