Am I the only one who doesn't like beer?

I 'hate' beer. Tastes like crap, contains gluten, makes me feel bloated, has low alcohol content. That said I'll still drink it if its free. I much prefer red wine, sherry, port, cocktails and cider.

Beer is great. It's just nice to drink.

Just dont drink that garbage Miller/Miller Light/Bud/Rolling Rock and you're good.

I've dispatched 5 beer agents to your position with a keg of the finest beer. Stay where you are.

I like a beer or two in the summer. I'm not usually drinking to get drunk so that part isn't an issue for me. Maybe try some Belgium beers. They seem to brew some good stuff. La Chouffe is nice and I can get it local here in the middle of nowhere USA.

Pro tip: Any time you are wondering if you are the only one and decide to ask the internet- the answer is no.

In your circle of friends it sounds like you are the only one, yes.

This is a thread full of dumb.

I've never really found any alcohol that I enjoyed, but then again I've never really bothered putting much effort into trying to find something worth drinking. I've never really been interested in spending time and money for it when I'm perfectly happy with tea and juice.

Also, this belongs here (and is really the only reason I bothered posting a message at all)

In my experience, those who don't enjoy beer (or wine, rum, whiskey, etc.) probably haven't had the good stuff. Go to a local brewery and take a tour! Learn about the various types of beer a little bit and maybe you'll enjoy it more.

Get out.

I usually find that people who claim they hate the taste of beer have only had shitty tasting beer, bud light and the like. Now give someone a Yuengling Lager, now that's some damn good shit. And I find Troeg's even better, but a lot of people find it too hoppy, or bitter.

I don't drink any form of alcohol so no, you aren't the only one.

Had a sip of it when I was a kid of about three or so (it was in a can and, not knowing the difference, thought it was some soda like Dr. Pepper or Pepsi) and I absolutely hated it. The taste and smell stayed with me for years and I pretty much swore it off after that.

Beer is not for getting drunk off. Your friends are doing it wrong.

Also, it's probably shitty American beer they drink, so that doesn't help.

I don't like beer, but I love free beer.

I don't care for it either, but I'm sure it's more of an acquired taste.

Alcohol is dumb for too many reasons to count, tops being it tastes awful and people act like morons when consuming it.

All alcohol is terrible so yeah take that.

You're just drinking the wrong beer. Go with craft beers for now on, fuck the cheap domestics. Some of my favorite micro breweries are 21st Amendment, Founders, Troegs, southern Tier, Dogfish Head. There are countless small micro breweries each with their own distinct beers. I hated beer when I was younger until I was turned on to craft beers. I'd rather drink my own piss than drink a Miller or Bud Lite.

Yeah I guess that's true. It's just funny that this topic is "who doesn't like beer" and people just need to say that 'but all alcohol is crap!?'. It always always happens with these types of threads. "Favorite type of whiskey?" 'Oh no, not me. never drank never will!!'

I love only the best beer.

I don't like beer. My friends are really into craft beers, but I never taste any nuance... just tastes like beer. I'm a wine person myself, with the occasional gin and tonic or white russian. I've determined that I just don't like the taste of hops, as I can tolerate less hoppy beers (like stout.)

Well, I liked beer so much...But cant drink right now..i'm under medication..so right now i dont like beers WUHHAHAHA :D

@video_game_king: In my defense this is the only time I have ever titled a thread like that.

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck beer. Or more accurately, fuck all alcohol. I don't like any of it.

Give me some delicious whiskey, rum, brandy or even vodka... beer's fucking gross.

Genuinely glad to see everyone jumping down the throat of the thread title.

Also yes.

@acidbrandon18: As a billion others have said here already, of course you are. The only one.

Now that the cliche is over, lets get down to business... beer! An awesome drink that not everyone likes. But drinks are cool (love me a white russian), and so is wine. So don't get your knickers in a twist mate, it's all good. Some like it dark and brown, others prefer strong and fast. You know?

It's an acquired taste. Think of it like coffee. I've never come across a person who loved coffee for beer the first time they tired them. I fucking hated beer when I first started drinking. Now I love it so much that I brew my own.

Not a fan of beer myself. I perfer vine (usually white) or liquor (rakija)

I personally love tasting and drinking beers from all around the world, from all types of different breweries. Yes, it's an acquired taste, I'll give you that, but acting like drinking liquor or girly cocktails makes you better in any way at all is really fucking hilarious and you should probably not drink at all.

In my defense, I'm only mocking the dickheads who'd actually post like that :P.

Takes an amazingly good beer. Give me a good wine over it any day, though.

Beer is really the only alcohol that I like. Hard liquor and mixed drinks aren't for me at all, and I don't care for most wine either. I do enjoy a good beer though, and I mean a good beer, none of this Bud Lite shit. Honestly though, I have like a beer a month or something like that. I'm not really much of a drinker.

I only drink cider, and I only drink for taste.

Beer is far and away my favourite drink. Nothing beats a good beer, and nothing but a good beer beats a bad beer.

Screw this, I don't care if it's not even 10 AM yet, I'm going to go get some beer.

I hate the taste of beer even though I have on several occasions tried to get used to it. It just tastes horrendous to me, regardless of brand etc.
When I get drinks it's usually either some cider (Strongbow, Aspall or Magners/Bulmers) or some nice wine. Not a fan of shots or really strong stuff either since I generally don't drink "to get drunk", too old for that shit. Although a mojito or a simple gin/tonic now and again is alright :)

The craft beer movement in the US is the envy of the world. Europeans Discovering American Craft Beer

Speaking of American craft beer...today I have a nice giant ass bottle of Oud Bruin belgian style ale from Grand Teton Brewing Co. in Idaho. It's not as sour as the Belgian ales I'm used to drinking like St. Sebastiaan, but it's pretty damn good. Tastes like it's around 9% alcohol.

I went to the store today intending to get "real" food and ended up with a bunch of beer, sausage, and cheese. I guess that will work.

Up to this point I haven't liked beer. I think it comes down to early bad experience with it tainting my perception of it. I had the same thing happen to a worse degree with coffee (basically had a gag reflex at the taste of coffee from about 10 on, I just got to a point where I could drink it again in the last like 6 months or so). Since I was able to overcome my dislike of coffee, I've decided to give been another go. To that end having friends who know a lot about it is nice because I can try a bunch of stuff and they can recommend stuff too.

Alot of people don't like beer. those people are wrong.

@demonknightinuyasha: I think for a lot of people it's a taste that comes with age. I didn't like beer nearly as much when I was a younger man, but now that I'm in my 30's it's one of my favorite indulgences. I feel the same way about cheese and cured foods like salami, it's just something that develops over time.

I can't stand beer, it just tastes fucking horrible. I kind of feel the same about alcohol in general, can't stand the taste and don't care about getting drunk (especially with the ensuing results the next day) though that slight buzz from drinking reasonably is totally great, though ultimately even then the stuff just doesn't agree with me. So I just don't drink at all anymore.

I didn't like beer until I hit my 30s, when I tried some dark beers and realized I only like dark beer. Although this summer I did acquire quite the taste for Shipyard Summer Ale, so I guess I'm branching out.

Don't like Beer? You either haven't found the right one for you or you're not drinking it right :D

Yes, you are the only person on this planet that doesn't like beer. Feel very ashamed.

I really enjoy beer, but I've known people who don't like it. If all you're looking for in your alcoholic drink is how fast it can get you loaded though, you're a crazy person!

this

Do yourself a favor, fly over to Germany. Or the Czech Republic. There´s some damn fine beer around here.

If you still hate it then.. well, then you might be THE ONLY ONE!

I don't trust people who don't like beer.

Of course, I am talking about actual good beer, not the one designed to be drank in dozens to get smashed during a game.
