Beer tastes like fucking shite!

[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

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

[vifferman]

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

Stop being so fucking sensible and pragmatic, Nige!
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.)

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.

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?

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.

You've crossed the line there, Gurrrlie!
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.

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!

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...

When did you develop the taste for beer?

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.

[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.

[smoky]

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

Beer tastes like dog piss to me! ... it tastes so foul!

... i'd far rather pick a nice cold coke than a friggen beer!

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.
