Might there be a beer I like?

[cdludlum]

FWIW, I appreciated your response, as I find most people enjoy Fat Tire as well. Even if I don't really care for it.

Thanks, Jordan

I guess you should tell him what to drink then. I simply gave the OP a suggestion as he asked.

Sorry if a little discussion scares you.

The part I don't like is why try so hard if you don't like beer?
I don't drink wine. There may be a wine or two out there that I would like, but I don't like wine so I don't try searching for one that I like.

It's getting a tad OT, but I kind of dislike the fact that I don't like wine. I find wine extremely interesting, it's amazing really... but every time I drink it I'm reminded that it tastes bad.

Granted, I haven't had that much wine but the ones I've had have all been very different, but still nothing I liked - not even close.

I appreciate all the responses. I was working a 12 hour shift today so haven't had a chance to get back on until now.

Lots of things to try, and a few specific things I wanted to respond to.

What do you enjoy drinking?
Booze, pop, wine, juice or whatever.

It's hard to say what you would like based only on what you don't like alone.

Try one of each of the standard brands.
Maybe some black Butte.
Hard to guess with no idea of the type of things you enjoy.

Either try lots of things or don't bother with beer.

I enjoy most kinds of wine. I'm particularly fond of sweet whites. I don't really care for the tannic acid in the stronger reds, even if it has aged enough to mellow. I also enjoy mead, though I find the cost a bit much for what you get. That applies to both the making and the buying. I'm particularly fond of orange soda, lime margaritas, and rum and coke. Lately I've been enjoying tonic water in mixers more then I used to as well. I also enjoy both sweet and dry hard apple cider.

When you say bothering you do you mean not liking the taste or physically bothering you? Could be allergy or sensitivity to grains. Have you tried glutten free beer?

As in not enjoying, but not being repulsed by the flavor. I bake on a regular basis, if I had a gluten intolerance I would think it would have been obvious before now. Though that does give me another hare to pursue.

Problem also is that he is a sentient being made of lead, which has been animated by magic,and which is typically devoid of tsatebuds!

Psssh, says the animated collection of amorphous partials the fallen angels started playing with when they found they couldn't reproduce.

The part I don't like is why try so hard if you don't like beer?
I don't drink wine. There may be a wine or two out there that I would like, but I don't like wine so I don't try searching for one that I like. I drink my beer and various hard liquors and leave it at that.

If you don't like beer ( I don't understand how! ), don't worry. Drink what you like and move on.
Chances are if you find a beer you do like, it's never going to be one of the choices if you go out or something since you will clearly have a very small number of beers that you are willing to drink.

I am uncertain if I like beer or not. I don't have enough data to form a conclusion yet.

I'm wanting to find a style of beer I enjoy so I can share with my beer drinking guests. I'd prefer something I can enjoy as well, so it doesn't go to waste if I don't have people over for a while.

I'm not particularly concerned about being able to find whatever beer I do enjoy on a regular basis. I'm more looking for something to use as a jumping off point for brewing my own.

It's getting a tad OT, but I kind of dislike the fact that I don't like wine. I find wine extremely interesting, it's amazing really... but every time I drink it I'm reminded that it tastes bad.

Granted, I haven't had that much wine but the ones I've had have all been very different, but still nothing I liked - not even close.

There are a lot of kinds of wine. Most people get hung up on aged red wines. I don't particularly care for red wine. I would suggest trying something different, like a blueberry or peach wine.

Again, I thank everyone for the responses. I have some new things to try. Even if I don't find a beer I really enjoy I think I will gain more of an appreciation for it.

OK, see if you can find Pilsner Urquell somewhere on tap. The draft version is much better than the bottled in my opinion. All the beers you list seem like they would be pretty challenging for being either too strong or too weak flavored. Check it out, let us know what you think.

For what it's worth, I used to think I didn't like beer. Turns out I didn't like Miller Beer.

Not to take this discussion , but Pilsner Urquell is owned by SABMiller, so I guess technically it is a "Miller Beer".

Wel he posted, so all is well, but LG is here, let me assure you.

Very scary

Then I came off too harsh. I sincerely apologize.

Well, I guess if I had a billion bucks and my flagship brand was sinking like the Titanic I'd look around for something good to buy too. I did some consulting for South African Breweries in the 90s and they seemed to be nice people. That was before they went on their acqusition spree and Lion Beer was 10 Rand a can in a hotel bar.
