Most of my friends drink miller lite almost exclusively. If they want "a good beer" they'll drink Guinness or blue moon or leinenkugels (not that those aren't good, but they never really ventured outside of what they know). I don't mind offering them a beer if they don't have any but it really grinds my gears when they complain that the old Rasputin I offered them "is gross" and can't even say why they think so. While it is tempting to fire back at them I usually shrug it off and tell them it puts hair on their balls and that they should drink it unless they want me to do it for them.

That being said, I have no issues with terrible beer except for icehouse, miller lite and steel reserve. Old style is my go to cheap beer.

Kinda the opposite for me, here. When I got back from Afghanistan, I was ready for a drink after all that time of them hammering G.O. #1 into our heads. Spent 4 months in SV for AIT back in '07. Don't miss that place one bit. lol

I have an idea for friends that say they did like dark beer blind fold them and let them taste it that way they won't know if it is light or dark.

I just tell people which beers I have on hand and if they don't like it they should bring their own beer.

No big deal to me if they want to drink crap. More good beer for me.

We arrive.
I ask X if he has a glass I can pour into.
X answers, yea, let me get it out of the freezer.

24 hrs later.
Super Bowl Party.
Host. Bring some home brews!
Me. Ok, I have 2 growlers, will bring my IPA and Brown.
The host loves my IPA (even in a non frozen glass).
I pour him the Brown. He tastes and dumps down the drain.
Apparently he didn't care for that one. Dumped it right in front of me.
I would have drank it.
What testicular fortitude to dump the beer in front of you!
