Beer tastes like fucking shite!

[racefactory]

Lol, help I think something is wrong with me...

Beer tastes like dog piss to me! I'm 20 years old, and yet still, it never gets any better. I can't help but think everyone around me drinks it just to be cool because it tastes so foul!

For years I kept getting told, it'll grow on you in no time etc etc. Nope. :clap:

I mean, today i'd far rather pick a nice cold coke than a friggen beer! I Something must be wrong with me? I mean, you have to like beer in order to be a 'real man' don't you lol? Personally I couldn't care less but i'm interested to know...

When did you develop the taste for beer?

[Hitcher]

FFS, if beer offends you so much, drink something else. The world is awash with potable beverages of every hue and potency.

I was weaned onto beer. Mum says it contains essential trace elements and minerals. It's a veritable health food, and my Mum knows everything.

[racefactory]

lol Not complaing at all! I just seem to be the only one who doesn't like it!

[AllanB]

Ha that's funny - I was the same at your age.

What you need to do is get a mortgage and a family then you find that beer is pretty much the cheapest piss around at your supermarket. You slowly get into it - maybe purchasing a six pack that lasts a few weeks. This becomes a weekly six pack.

Tonight I purchased a 12 pack (it was on special - excellent value).


Also there are so many different beers around now you'll find something you like. Try a dark beer (Speights Dark) or a very light one (Sol, Carona etc).


Hmmm just typing this makes me want to crack one. But I have a 9.00pm time limit during the week.

[Motu]

My mother told me I should drink more beer to put on some weight.....

You are lucky you weren't brought up in the '60's or '70's when beer was the only drink socially acceptable for a male.The beer was brewed by continuous fermentation and fouler than anything you could drink today.Some beers really did taste like a tom cat pissed in them...hence the term cats piss for a bad beer.Lion Red used to taste like that....and I still can't stand it.

These days you can drink anything you like without being done over in the car park when you go home.....

[Indiana_Jones]

Been drinking beer from about 13 years old. Liked the taste then, love it now lol.

Few mates of mine didn't like it when they 1st started at 16-18, but it has grown on them.

What type of beer you drinking etc?

Hahaha!

Ok, will try more of those i guess.

[Mikkel]

Try going to Belgium, Bavaria or the Czech Republic for a holiday. If you don't like it after that feel free to piss and moan about it :yes:

Be careful with the Coke my boy!! it's ferk'n bad for you without a good measure of dark rum in it!!
Try Export Gold. I'm not much of a beer drinker myself but I do manage to get through a dozen or three old the old gold in a weekend.:niceone:

[Gubb]

Beer tastes like dog piss to me!
You're doing it wrong.

[Sketchy_Racer]

Can't say I enjoy it all the time, but I do really enjoy a ice cold beer on a blistering hot day after doing some physical activity... EG after a day of racing. Perfect.

[NighthawkNZ]

When did you develop the taste for beer?

Took me 30 years to develop the taste... well and now I have gone off it... rather drink Woodstock...

[Headbanger]

Mmmmm....Beer.

The first beer I had, it was like the missing ingredient I had been looking for my entire life.

Couple hours later I was lying in my own vomit with a busted nose and two black eyes.

I soon found that repetition was the key and developed a talent for drinking vast amounts of the stuff and talking utter utter shit.

[barty5]

cant say that i enjoy beer either but then i do drink a lot of coke mixed with rather a lot of JDs in it instead

[Forest]

I'm in my 30s and I'm not a big fan of beer.

Unless I've been working hard under a hot sun. In that situation a cold beer is the most marvelous thing on the earth.

[laserracer]

mmmm coke and jds,whisky,rum, mmm in fact leave out the coke it makes you fat mmm straught jds,whiskey and rum:apint:

[Gremlin]

When did you develop the taste for beer?
Haven't yet... and all wines taste the flipping same. I reckon people are lying when they say, ooh, this is a woody wine, OR DRY - FFS its a liquid!!!

Who cares... I get to laugh at the drunks, and remind them all the next day, as they deny all. :2thumbsup

[Trumpess]

Im not a big beer drinker, but man ... there is nothing quiet like an ice cold beer after a hard work out of sorts.
A good nectar to quell the thirst is Export for me!
Not so good once gone to the loo :lol: It does awful things to my bladder!
Beer is something one either likes or dosent.

Ohhh .... and Im still trying to figure out how you can get pissed on the shit!!

[wysper]

I've never liked beer either.

Top shelf for me. Vodka is the choice at the moment but it changes from time to time.

[MisterD]

All those "blokes" that don't like beer should form an orderly queue over there and hand over your man card.

[disenfranchised]

Took me a while to like beer compared to my friends (for me about 23 vs 15 for them)

I still have certain brands which taste like ass....export gold being the main one.....
So my advice is keep drinking what you like, but always have a taste of different beers now and again...once you find one you like you'll be set.

[Skunk]

I have never liked the taste of beer. Bourbon, whisky and Rum for me thanks.

[Ragingrob]

Wait till your 21st, then man handle that yardy! Then keep drinking beer after the yardy. Then for breakfast the next morning marinate your steak in beer. Then you'll either like it, or never drink it again haha :2thumbsup

[vifferman]

Y'know, not everyone has the same sense of taste or sense of smell. The number of receptors for each varies widely from person to person. Beer is bitter after all, due to the hops, so it's not surprising some people don't like it. I started drinking it at about 13 (first time I got pissed) and apart from a few years when I didn't drink any alcohol, tea or coffee, I've been drinking it ever since. I can't stand the thought of giving it up - what else is there to drink when you're really hot and thirsty? Only water - softdrinks aren't thirst-quenching as they have too much sugar in them (by design - to not quite quench your thirst while at the same time making you thirstier, so you'll drink more).
Beer is good! :niceone:
Coke, on the other hand, should be banned on account of being chemical waste. :Pokey:

[Stirts]

Only beer I like is Monteiths Summer Ale.....hmmmmmmmmmm. And you don't get that rottenarse beer poo stench that sticks to the walls of the toilet the next day!

You are only a young pup, give it time and you will find the tasty beverage that is for you!

[Rockbuddy]

drink whiskey instead

[Bren]

Well, ya could be one of them blokes that likes cocktails, or you might like pink shirts, that may explain why you dont like beer....maybe, just maybe you fantasize about Kiwifruit...

Here are a couple of things you may like...

[vifferman]

Aha! Then you haven't looked hard enough, or tried enough beers. There are some nice 'gurrrly' ales for you, like raspberry wheat beer, or some fruit-flavoured Belgian ales. They're not easy to find, but they are about. There's a shop near us that sells a cherry-flavoured Belgian beer. I think it's terrible, but the vifferbabe likes it, after she had summat similar at her cousin's house in Helmond.

Trademe900000 might like it too!

I had some raspberry wheat beer at Mugger's Brewpub in Twin Falls Idaho, in January '95 or '96. It was great! (even though I got hassled for drinking such a gurrrrlie drink. I wanted to try the ornery wheat beer, but they had only the pink one the night I was there. The beer we had in the brewpub was the only palatable Mrkn ale we had the whole week we were there.
Oh - and Trademe9999000 - if you ever go to Idaho, stay away from something called "Red Dog" - I believe it really is made from dog's piss (not that I've ever tasted that), and compost. The first mouthful the gag reflexes nearly kick in. The third one, your tastebuds have expired from overload, and you start to think (coz your brain's poisoned) "That wasn't so bad". Then the first belch comes up, and the nightmare starts all over again.

[ManDownUnder]

If you don't like it don't drink it. I didn't like the taste of it for the longest time and I kinda developed it over a while. I still don't like anything in a green bottle (the so called elite beers - Steinekin etc). Drink what you do like.

I don't like tomatoes or fejoass - just the way it is.

Think of the money you'll save!

There's this little red headed dude on here that I'd really hate to cross swords with (not that I imagine I ever will)... and he's given up drinking alcohol at all. That earned a hell of a lot of respect from me to be honest - society says drink - get drunk - it's the thing to do. Some choose not to for various reasons... and "I don't like it" is up there with the best.

It's not an issue except in your own mind mate

[Hemex]

Yeah getting used to beer did take me a while too...

I started off on dark rum... and have now found my happy place with Whiskey...

Maybe try some of the lighter beers first... Light Ice, Amstel Light, etc... or just get yourself a bottle of Absinthe mate... 1 shot and beer will taste like a coke after that... lol

[OutForADuck]

Who cares... the joy of the world is how we are all so different and yet we spend all our time trying to be the same :bye:

Do what rings your bell...... After all its really just a rotten malt of hops and barley... and don't get me started on spirits... in fact everything I really like is pretty disgusting :sick:

Stop being so fucking sensible and pragmatic, Nige! :Pokey:
Have you frogotten this is KiwiBiker? (yeah I know I spelled 'forgotten' worngA, but it was easier to type in this disclaimer than go back and correct it.)

[Stirts]

Ooooooer a bit of sweet stuff to rid that nasty bitter taste, would definitely be keen to try that!
Hmmmmmmmm wonder how ice cream in beer would taste?

[Stirts]

I still don't like anything in a green bottle


Racist :bleh:

[vifferman]

Well, the thing is, they're usually wheat beers or lagers anyway, so not very hoppy, so not so bitter. So it's not so much the fruyity stuff masking the bitterness, as adding a bit of flavour back in.

Hmmmmmmmm wonder how ice cream in beer would taste?
You've crossed the line there, Gurrrlie! :Pokey:
Tell ya what - you could try an old-fashioned lager and lime. It's lager (or other paleish beer, like wheat beer) with a shot of that lime syrup stuff made by Rose's or whoever. You used to be able to ask for one at a bar, but it's been like a bazillion years since I last ordered one, I dunno if your average spotty bar youf person would know what one is.

[Ixion]

Guinness. It's good for you.

[gijoe1313]

I drink beer. Ginger or root beer. Me being the teetotaller I am, have never seen the upside of watching my mates getting plastered, heaving up stomach linings and always carrying tarps, buckets and water in the boot of my cage for the aftermath!

I don't mind others imbibing the liquid, but the excesses and effects of it always has me nonplussed. To each their own, enjoyment in those things they like as long as it doesn't end up on the wrong side of civil norms! :yes:

Mmmm ginger beer or sarsaprilla is all good with me ....

[sunhuntin]

i hate the stuff as well. tried it a couple of times and spat it back out again. same with wine. im happier with a bottle of mudshake or tattoo. best of all would be a can of coke.

[NOMIS]

Lol, help I think something is wrong with me...
to be a 'real man' don't you lol? Personally I couldn't care less but i'm interested to know...

Cut your long hair then ;-) lmao ...

i used to drink heaps not so much now but I still like a nice cold beer, I do try to have coke ect if Im at a bar with some friends or water, you loose count of how much your having when your out so I prefer to stay sober

[Fatt Max]

Each to their own.

I myself love a beer. My mates take the piss out of me cos I puke my ring out at even the slightest sniff of a bourbon.

[1 Free Man]

All those "blokes" that don't like beer should form an orderly queue over there and hand over your man card.
Ha! Been waiting to see a posting to this effect.
The old "IF ya don't drink beer ya got no Dick" bollocks.
Well I'll put my "MAN CARD" in my empty Captain Morgan Rum bottle and you can get it out with your Beer drinking Man Dick.:tugger:

[Supertwin Don]

There's no bad beers, just some are better than others.
If you want taste, try ales (served at the correct temperature - about cold water level), if it's quantity - beers, if it's effect - lagers.
I got 35 years of trying on you!!!

[tri boy]

Beer allows the obnoxious side of humans to come out an play.
I like it.:msn-wink:

[smoky]

The coke is a bit of a hint – too much sugar
You’ve stuffed your pallet up – beers not sweet enough for you now.
It’s the pop culture – I try not to have sugar in my diet, you loose the taste for sweetness, everything today is just jam packed with sugar, it’s incredible how consumers demand more and more sweetness, sugar sells – it’s an evil addiction of the modern world

The first time I appreciated Beer was as a young fella doing a full day picking up hay, dusty, hot, stuffed with a wicked thirst, you can drink coke, fruit juice or water - but beer really hits the spot, for some reason hard work makes beer extremely palatable.
Unfortunately I’ve developed an allergy to beer …. not to whiskey though.

[Pussy]

Try a nice icy cold Mac's Gold.... mother's milk! :niceone:

[smoky]

i hate the stuff as well. tried it a couple of times and spat it back out again. same with wine...

I loooove a good wine, heady and sophisticated;
I have magnum of Peter Lehmann Shiraz, from the Stonewell district of the Barossa Valley. Its a 1989 bottle (best year ever) aged in American oak its an award winning drop.
If anyone can guess what it’s worth, within $10, then I’ll share it with them.
There’s just nothing as wonderful to taste as a great wine.

I'll take it off your hands for $200, thanks. Delivery address follows...

If it were a 1990 bottle or later, you'd be spot on - but it's a 1989 vintage


Lol, help I think something is wrong with me...

Interested to know if can you taste tannin, do you like black coffee, olives or blue cheese, what about dark dark chocolate?
Or has your taste buds been totally destroyed from preservatives, flavourings and sweetners?

[Hitcher]

If it were a 1990 bottle or later, you'd be spot on - but it's a 1989 vintage

I hear you, but I would be reluctant to sink additional coin on the hope that the 1989 would be a discernable quantum better than the 1990. The Stonewell Shiraz is without peer in an ordinary year. I'd get the cork out of this soonest -- wine doesn't continue to improve in the bottle. Would you swap it for a case of Lehman Stonewall '97?

It's only worth more because it was a particularly good year, and only sold from their cellar. Worth $250 to $300 (Apparently).
And yes it will be opened very shortly - but like this thread, it's hard to find someone who could actually appreciate it's subtlety and balance, to drink it with, 1.5 ltr is too much for one person.
It just seems people are in the 'pop' area, and don't appreciate the nuances of subtlety, the dance of life or the essence of things.
Romance is all about shagging now, movies substitute a good plot and word smithing for sex, fast cars and pop idols.
Now beer is slowly giving way to alco-pops

[slofox]

There's a shop near us that sells a cherry-flavoured Belgian beer.

I sell cherry and raspberry beers from Belgium. These are 'lambic' beers and are made by a very arcane method...best you don't ask......

[slofox]

There's no bad beers....

Oh yes there are......but I don't stock 'em.......

[Skyryder]

Bloody hell a kiwi 'bloke' and a biker to boot that don't like beer.


Ya need a days hard work that makes ya break out into a sweat. That'll change the way ya tast buds work.

Either that or drinking or drinking the wrong beer and to a bloke 'thar's' no such thing. some are better than others..........except Tui's

lol the typical drinking, rugged, ute driving, fishing, kiwi stereotype is so lame... why do we have to be 'gay' if we don't like a pint after the ''rugga''!

[jrandom]

Beer's great. Cheap lager is and always has been shit. Try drinking something that isn't cheap lager. Wheat beer's a good starting point. Mac's Blonde, Hoegaarden, summat like that.

Personally, I find the only problem with beer is that I can't drink it fast enough to get pissed.

[Headbanger]

I'd rather enjoy an ice cold Export Gold then masturbate over a bottle of wine.

Though I'd also prefer to look at a couple of skanks eating pussy then look at the mona lisa.

Fuck it, I'm low class, and enjoying every minute of it.

[pete376403]

Along with lager and lime, you could also try stout and raspberry - very smooth and probably good for you as well.

I'd prefer to masturbate over the skanks eating pussy, drink the bottle of wine, and use the Export Gold to dissolve any solid waste left in the nearest U-bend.

What's the mona lisa?

[jrandom]

stout and raspberry

I didn't believe it until I tried it, but yup. Guinness and a generous glop of raspberry syrup. Super.

Used to drink Vita stout that way. Still add a bit of raspberry on occasions.

Have not seen Vita stout for sometime.
