I'm eating pizza with the blue moon and I could barely drink the blue moon, I'm drinking slowly

- don't know maybe should have started at the very bottom of beers, if this is it then I just don't know

Barely drink it due to taste?

Should've started with a very light beer, something like a Miller High Life or Michelob Light just to get a taste for it.

 

[IronFistedChampion]

Can't go wrong with Angry Orchard.

 

[Armadilo]

Half way done with the bottle and yeah the taste of the alcohol makes it hard. Maybe it's like that for everybody at first

Like everyone already said. Almost no one likes beer at first. Its an acquired taste.

Next time get ciders or something "girly" don't let that discourage you. Girly usually means "tastes good", and cocktails overall are under a small renaissance. Work your way up from there.

 

[Fallout-with-swords]

Should have just went with a very cold Coors Light or Bud Light.

 

[Armadilo]

Can I eat apple pie with the blue moon or no ?

Yep it's the same thing as hard alcohol or dark chocolate or even seafood. The more you try it the more you'll like it.

I wouldn't. Finish the beer before something sweet.

 

[blame space]

man this is not going at all like i thought it would.

 

[johancruijff]

op you're drinking a beer, the belgian one, with no malt and no hops (if it's truly made like a true witbier)

just try a basic lager, like a heineken or a beck's

 

[The Llama]

If you have any oranges, cut an orange slice and stick it in a glass with the beer.

 

[King_Moc]

I think Blue Moon is pretty nasty and doesn't really taste like a typical beer. Someone mentioned Corona earlier, I think that's a good suggestion for someone that's not drank before.

 

[Armadilo]

Am I supposed to feel something after drinking the beer "buzzed" ?

 

[backflip10019]

You might feel a little fuzzy after one beer. Usually takes a few to get truly buzzed though.

 

[gwarm01]

Pound a few more and you'll feel it. Come on, man, some of us are at work and can't drink.

 

[Armadilo]

Ok still drinking it, yeah no fucking way I'm going to touch that steel can

 

[GRIP]

Dude, get some Milwaukee's Best Lager. Perfect for someone looking to get into the beer world. Not hoppy or too sweet. Might be a little bitter at first, but that's when it starts getting good.

 

[CarpeDeezNutz]

Ok still drinking it, yeah no fucking way I'm going to touch that steel can

Did you add an orange slice?

 

[Oxn]

Are you messed up after 1 beer already?

Beer really doesnt hit me. A slight tipsiness but thats after a few.

 

[DorkLord54]

Save it for when you're good and drunk.

April can't come soon enough (except for the Don being President-Elect).

 

[gimmmick]

If you live around SoCal, near San Diego

 

[The Lone Courier]

You can come to my house and have any beer you want, as long as its a Corona.

 

[Armadilo]

Don't have oranges, should have bought a can. I have 5 more blue moons after this one, jesus

 

[this_guy]

Don't listen to these lightweights, start strong by downing a six-pack of this:

Founders Breakfast Stout is one of my favorites.

Blue Moon and Shock Top are good beginner beers I think. Relatively cheap, not bitter, and a little sweet. I would not recommend fancy stuff like IPAs to someone who is just starting out, and making your first beer something like Bud/Coors/Miller etc. will give you the impression that all beers taste like flavorless dishwater which couldn't be farther from the truth.

E: Oh, you already did. Well, I echo what everyone else said. Beer is like coffee. You're going to hate it at first and it's going to take some time before you enjoy it.

 

[Armadilo]

Can't I just be that guy at a bar/ club who has water or Soda instead

 

[ryseing]

Jack and coke dude.

Or vodka tonic.

 

[Armadilo]

Does vodka taste better?

 

[GRIP]

Does vodka taste better?

depends on the vodka

 

[MogCakes]

If you're gonna drink beer, drink good beer, and drink for flavor. I would recommend trying out craft beer in your local area to get a feel for what's available. My favorite kind are sours.

 

[this_guy]

Does vodka taste better?

Vodka by itself? No

Vodka mixed with orange juice will taste just like orange juice. Vodka tonic with a lime will taste a little like 7up. Vodka is easy to mix with things.

 

[Armadilo]

Maybe I would rather just drink sweet drinks, anything that actually tastes good. Doesn't Matter if they are "girly drinks" or what not

Do that, and when you're buzzed beer starts to go down easy. Drink more beer this way and it'll start to taste better even when you're sober.

 

[Armadilo]

I drank around 80% of the blue moon bottle, I just couldn't drink anymore

 

[Clydefrog]

If you live around SoCal, near San Diego

Good beer but they have stray cats in their brewery. Maybe it's their secret ingredient..

 

[Ferrio]

Don't sweat it, there's so many options beyond beer, you'll find what you like.

Cranberry juice mixed with any clear alcohol. Completely kills the taste.

 

[Mister Wolf]

Newcastle brown ale. After that graduate up to Maker's 46.

 

[GRIP]

For a more serious answer... Dogfish Head 60 minute is a good beer for someone that isn't really into beer. It's not watered down piss water and has a good, sweet flavor to it. Not too hoppy for an IPA and isn't that strong either.

 

[Subpar Spatula]

Drink and if you dislike you can have melee with comrades.

 

[GRIP]

[bundaberg]

You need to finish at least 3 beers in that Blue Moon 6 pack bud. After the second or 3rd you'll start feeling better. Trust me!


When I first started drinking I could barely finish 1 (maybe 2) beers before feeling bloated and disgusted with the taste.

Now I can spend all night drinking it but generally switch to spirits when I get tanked as I still get the 'full' feeling after 6 or so pints.

 

[Nickdogmoneycash]

This was my first beer, and I loved it right away. Solid choice.

 

[Dylan Sexbang]

I started with Sierra Nevada IPA. Just force it down, it'll grow on you

 

[Oxn]

Hey, he asked.

 

[iMAGINATION]

Nah beer is just disgusting, try getting a cider or hard soda. Much better tasting alcohol. Angry Orchard, Redd's, Not Your Fathers, etc. get those instead.

Does vodka taste better?

You can easily mask the taste of vodka. I would recommend going to a liquor store and getting one of those 50ml bottles of you want to try mixing it with different stuff.
