Is there anyone else here that just doesn't like beer?

[MrScorpio]

I never acquired a taste for the stuff.

Liquor, on the other hand, was enjoyable for me from day one.

Who else here does not do beer?

[Fuzz]

1. Sorry, not me.

But I'll reply anyway. ;)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

2. My dear MrScorpio...

I'm with you...

I've never really acquired a taste for it either...

It just seems watery to me...

OTOH, I do like ale...but haven't had it in decades!

The hard stuff is great but I can only have it in very small amounts!

I'm really a one-glass wine drinker...

:hi:

[Arugula Latte]

3. Me!

It just tastes, I dunno, bitter and icky to me.

Give me wine or vodka mixed with fruit juice, please ... :9

[Lyric]

4. Me

I can't stand the stuff. I don't like whiskey, either. Give me good rum, vodka, or tequila and I'm a happy girl. :)

[grace0418]

5. Me. And it's not for lack of trying.

It really sucked in college to be the person who didn't like beer, since that was generally the only alcohol I could afford. I like wine, gin & tonics, mojitos, and hard cider though.

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

6. Me

I've had people go into long diatribes about how this beer is great, that one sucks, etc. Seriously, I couldn't tell a Narragansett, Papst Blue Ribbon, or an Old Milwaukee from a Heineken, Beck's or a Sam Adams.

I'm just a gin and tonic/Jack and Seven man myself.

[MrScorpio]

7. Right, all beer tastes the same

Like crap

[Left Is Write]

9. Heresy!

That's like saying all liquor tastes the same.

[MrScorpio]

10. Nice post, Beerler!

[Left Is Write]

11. No problem, Ginler.

:evilgrin:

[asdjrocky]

8. I only like beer when I'm drunk.

[From The Ashes]

12. here...

...can't stand the stuff..:puke:

[Fire Walk With Me]

13. There are a few beers that you might try if you're interested.

Samichlaus, aged 11 months. It's a very thick brew. Very expensive, very full of alcohol.

Kriek Lambic Ale. The Belgian company ages beer with different kinds of fruit. My fave was the cherry. Friends I'd offered it to describe it as cough syrup.

Arrogant Bastard Ale. 15% or so.

I can't believe that I've recommended two ales, the lightweights of beerdom...

There is a pub just across the Detroit border in Grosse Pointe; I forget it's name, but it has an incredible selection of beers on tap, and seasonal beers as well.

If you want your liquors, again in GP on Mack at Oxford is a liquor store that sells so many types of aged and rare scotch that I was amazed. Please to try.

[MrMickeysMom]

54. Here in PA, where you have to buy your beer form a state operated store...

a case at a time, I find it VERY unfriendly to try a good beer, which I'll do maybe 2 to 3 per week end on occasion. I think it's a damn shame we can't sample a six pack of this or that.

What other beers might I find that are "good ales"?

[u4ic]

14. Yuck!

:puke:

Except for root beer...

[texanwitch]

15. I used to like beer a lot more then I do now.

Now one bottle is all I drink, and it is Shiner.

[ghostsofgiants]

16. Well I don't drink alcohol at all, if that counts, haha.

[regnaD kciN]

17. Me...

Never liked it at all.

[kedrys]

18. It's never my first pick

Until recently, I'd never touch the stuff. Lately, I've actually enjoyed it a few times, but it's usually a handcrafted microbrew or something very fresh.

Usually, the higher the alcohol %, the better.

[quip]

19. I never acquired it, either

I'll have a beer once in a while to be social, but I could certainly live never having another sip. Same with wine, same with liquor.

But in the past couple of years I HAVE acquired a fancy for the occasional cigar... :hide:

:smoke:

[philosophie_en_rose]

20. I'm not a fan of beer.

Vodka and rum are yummy, though.

[SPKrazy]

21. Apparently I like It Enough

that i will drink O'Douls since I no longer drink, O'Douls tastes awesome to me, just like beer :P

So I must like the taste.

I've been told for years that I didn't really like the taste, just the effect

but

I apparently really like the taste too! :P

[NC_Nurse]

22. Me

I like liquor. Beer doesn't appeal to me and wine gives me heartburn.

[Sanity Claws]

23. Me too

But I like wine.

[ileus]

24. All beer tastes like crap...

[ThatsMyBarack]

25. I only drink ROOT beer!

:toast:

[SPKrazy]

26. Rooty Toot toot!

I miss bill too!

[lost-in-nj]

27. Well I like it

it runs through my veins....




lost

[bikebloke]

28. Not until I went to Europe

Then in Norway, a friend bought me one. Surprisingly, I liked it. But it spoiled me. I won't drink american beer.

[NewWaveChick1981]

29. Me.

I've never acquired a taste for it either.

[Scout]

30. can't stand the stuff, even the smell can make me nauseous

i had to learn to like mixed drinks too

can't do shots of straight liquor, and don't drink wine either.

[lizziegrace]

31. Me

Unless it's 100 degrees outside and the beer's 33 degrees. Otherwise, nah.

[Tektonik]

32. I've never liked beer

Give me vodka, gin, and rum any day :D

[Crabby Appleton]

50. I like beer, unfortunately can't drink

I like beer, unfortunately can't drink

[Ekirh]

33. I'm just not big on alochol period. .

There's a few alcohol beverages I may drink here and there, but I've gone as long as between 9-10 months between alocholic drinks. . .

[undeterred]

34. I live in Wisconisn and don't care for beer

Now thats just wrong. But its true. I drink it to be polite.

[Rude Horner]

41. I'm a fellow Wisconsinite

...and I don't like beer either. I will, however, drink it if it's cold AND free. AND it helps if I'm already a bit drunk at the time. :)

Actually, I much prefer soda over alcohol. Oooh, except Long Island Iced Tea. I could drink that all day. Yum. :)

[Sweet Freedom]

35. I don't like it either. /nt

[CGowen]

36. I always have to mix it with coke...n/t

[supernova]

37. Beer is a no go for me

mostly because I'm wheat sensitive and making it into alchohol still doesn't make it any easier to digest. Although, I do find some dark beers like Guiness to be tasty, I can't have them all the time.

Wine and other non-grain-based hard liquor is OK, though.

[CBHagman]

38. I don't, even after visiting Europe.

The closest thing to a beer I enjoyed was the famous Berliner Weisse (mit Schuss, of course, in my case; I have a sweet tooth). I had that on summer in what was then a divided Berlin. I liked the beer but loved the city.

[GreenPartyVoter]

39. Moi. I prefer food to alcohol

[Cabcere]

40. I don't really care for most beer, but I'll drink it if I have to, lol.

;) I much prefer hard cider. :hi:

[bixente]

42. Not as yet - from lack of trying

At some point in my youth, I could be found at this work party of my father's. He was being rewarded for many years of service to the local council. Anyway, from memory I recall him talking to some people by a table. I was near this table, upon which beer could be found in stubbies . I took a sip from one of these bottles and the vile taste was overwhelming.

Aside from that, I can't recall any time where I've bothered to indulge. I feel like trying sake though, but that's more because it's Japanese and I'm very passionate about a variety of 'stuff' to come from said nation. A bit of an immature obsession at times.

[edbermac]

43. Depends on the brand; I like Coors, Miller, hate Budweiser.

I'm not a big drinker. The only time I will drink for sure is champagne on New Year's.

[janx]

44. I do beer sometimes--ALIEN STYLE

[ElizabethDC]

45. Me. I think it's gross.

but, yeah, I've always enjoyed liquor.

[lame54]

46. i bet you're drunk right now

[astonamous]

47. Beer is only good when mixed with a lot of tomato juice...

I used to get suckered in by the "fruity" drinks that taste more like punch than alcohol. This often lead to too much, too fast and many regrets.

Now I just stick to a glass of wine from time to time.

[TZ]

48. Don't like beer, don't like wine..

Too bitter, IMO. I like the sweet liquors and the occasional sweet champagne......

[Critters2]

49. Don't like beer. Don't like coffee.

I'm a cultural anomaly.

[enigmatic]

51. I love beer, bro

Love it; there are few pleasures more sublime than drinking an ice-cold Mickey's Big Mouth Malt Liquor in the O.G. bottles w/ the razor blade sharp giant pull tab that I managed to slice my thumb with by the 6th bottle.....

[barb162]

52. I never liked it and I never drank it. n/t

[Skittles]

53. ME, ME MR SCORPIO

never could stand the taste of beer....I do like mixed drinks although I found I had to pretty much give them up when I quit smoking :o

[JCMach1]

55. Most alcohol tastes like CRAP!

[Book Lover]

56. Thanks for this thread...

now I have a list of the insane people here! I love beer - drink of the gods ;-)

[China_cat]

57. No way, no how. Yuck.

[skyblue]

58. I like beer. Just not in excess & I Love pistachios nt.

[DarkTirade]

59. I didn't for years.

Spent five years in college, never acquired a taste for it. It wasn't until just recently that I finally found one beer that I liked, and that opened it up for me to finally get a taste for it.

That one beer being one that I can't recommend to you right now, as it won't be available for about six month. Sam Adams Summer Ale.

[HughBeaumont]

60. I never really liked it when I did drink.

And when I did drink it, it was only dark beer or nothing.

Wine, Jack, SC and Amaretto mixes, however . . .

[Evoman]

61. I hate it, but sometimes wished I liked it more.

It sure would help me fit in with "the guys". But my hatred for beer, and distate for all televised sports, makes me an outcast.

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

62. I've never even tried it

I don't drink at all, but have tried a few things in the past. Beer STINKS and I don't see how people can stand to drink one drop of it.

[Perry Logan]

63. I think it should be poured back into the horse.

The line comes from novelist Peter Devries.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

64. me

[Pacifist Patriot]

65. Me, but you can add liquor for me too.

Wine is my downfall.

[ashling]

66. Used to drink it in college

but I never really liked it. Don't really care for liqour either, I prefer wine.

[MzShellG]

67. Not I

Never could even pretend to like the taste or smell of it. Liqour is ok, with a chaser.

[Ariana Celeste]

68. Not so much that I dislike beer, as much as I prefer whiskey

[rebecca_herman]

69. Can't stand liquor

I hate the taste of every kind of liquor I've tried, and I got a headache from drinking barely any. I haven't had any alcohol in over a year.
