I dont l like beer
 ...
Before you ask me "Boy, you some kind of faggot?". My preferred drink is neat bourbon so dont doubt my manhood. I just dont like the taste of beer unless I am already pretty wasted haha. Any suggestions on some craft beers to try to maybe branch out? Yes I realize this could go poorly. |

What kind of beer have you tried, and of those that you've tried, which did you hate the least? Maybe we can figure something out for you.

Everyone is just going to tell you to try whatever their favorite beer is, and most of them probably suck. Just go to the store and buy beers of a few varieties and see what you like, then go back and buy more beers of the variety you liked.

It's okay OP. . . Frankly I prefer to drink Coors light when sitting down to watch the game.
I don't really get into the thousands of microbrews, or Hoppy IPA's they try and sell to my demographic. (FYI: there is a shit ton of them in WA) |

If you get into some good european beers, you may change your mind. You could also give some micro brews a shot. I guarantee there's one out there you'll enjoy.

Where does one get the actual European beers? Like I said earlier in the thread I believe the imports are changed to fit American tastes so they sell better. I would like to has a taste of the regular stuff. I could be wrong on that but let me know. |

Got any pubs around you that have the samplers? One restaurant that we love to go to has "Three Little Beers". Every few days , the owner picks 3 new beers and serves them in 6 oz glasses (appropriate to the beer type) on a rectangular plate. Its a great way to introduce yourself to different beers without knowing what to try, served in a full size glass, etc. |

Try something dark, for a starter, perhaps a nice Porter, then maybe move on to Stout, if you like the darker beers.

Maybe something with a higher alcohol content like a dopplebock?
Something with less hops? |

One neat thing you can do, is see if that bar has a "World Tour" kind of thing. Bars that have that many beers available often do. You sign up, and try a new beer every day (or whenever). Then you get some kind of prize if you complete them all. There's a popular place here that gives you a cool jacket if you complete theirs (it's like 300 different beers, or some shit like that). One of my coworkers did it.

It's an "acquired taste", which means you must drink something you don't like until you can tolerate it, and repeat until you enjoy it. For extra points, do it with really expensive beverages so you can feel superior to American macroswill herpderpering neckbeards.

Generally I have started beer haters off with maltier or sweeter beers, and avoided the ultra hoppy IPAs.
Belgian white beer (Blue Moon is one example of a macro version) and hefeweizens (wheat beers) like Spaten Franziskaner are a good start if you like a fruitier, less bitter beer with some good flavor. Brown ales (Newcastle, etc.) are also a good intro for medium-dark with low bitterness. Porters are dark and thick, much like a stout but not as bitter. When you feel like venturing into the more hoppier brews, try like hell to find one fresh and on tap, since so many bottled IPAs are just burnt-rubber bitter without some of the more subtle and interesting floral notes from the hops. |

There are simply too many variations of beer to possibly lump ALL of it nto the same "I hate beer" statement as Miller Lite, Bud Light, Coors Light, etc.
It's like saying "I hate liquor" after drinking some really shitty tequila. It sounds to me like you just hate light beer. I dislike IPA, tastes like drinking grandma's perfume. I'll second the idea of trying porters and stouts though. I'll take a nice roast over ridiculous amounts of hops any day. |
