With an orange slice, it's fuckin' delicious.

God yes.

 

[Fuzz Rez]

Good beer tastes like good beer, bad beer taste like bad beer. Same goes for good wine and bad wine. Don't like it, don't drink it.

 

[Yoboman]

VB is TRASH. Crowns and James Boags are the best Australian beers imo

James Boag distant number 1, runner up Coopers Pale Ale for me

Been drinking some Reches from the tap lately too not bad. I'd also rate Bees Neez and Tooheys Plats

 

[Phobophile]

If Coopers is the best you Aussies have, yikes.

All beer tastes horrible, but not everyone drinks for the taste. Like semen, shit, and whatever else, it's an acquired taste.

Got my two tickets to Dark Lord Day at Three Floyds last week. I'm so fucking excited for next Saturday! Anyone who knows anything about US craft breweries should be jealous

I'll be there (it'll be my 5th one). Great day but it's been getting too big over the last 2-3 years. So much good beer to be had. Can't wait.

 

[GoutPatrol]

Call me womanish, but...

That is good stuff.

 

[Insane Metal]

why the hell do you know what horse piss tastes like

this. FUCKING THIS

This one's just my 2nd. I only live 25-30 minutes west in Illinois so getting there will be a breeze. I just gotta take it easy since I gotta drive back by 4 or 5 PM since I have a concert that evening to go to in Chicago.

Short story. At somes guys party, he has brought a keg. Why does beer taste so horrid?
Every beer I have had in my life has made me gag. What's the point? If you want to get drunk why not drink something....tasty like wine or something.

 

[InaudibleWhispa]

:lol @ the "be a man" comments. maybe you guys should grow up? life isnt a college frat party. try a rum and coke. a kamikazee. tequila and squirt. REAL alcohol. beer does taste like shit.

Maybe you should grow up and drink a proper beer before ignorantly and stupidly passing it off as a frat drink and somehow "not real" alcohol. A decent beer is fantastic, and has just as much flavour and taste as any great alcoholic drink. Learn something about it before trashing it. And yes, we all know that there are cheap beers that taste like piss. There's also cheap rum, cheap tequila and cheap wine which are just as bad, if not worse.

I have no problem with people not liking the taste of most beers, but to pass it all off as a shit frat drink is just wrong and dumb.

Just popped in to recommend my new favorite beer. I had it in Boston a few weeks back and it was amazing:

Sam Adams New World Tripel

It's from their new Barrel Room Collection and it is delicious.

If you like that, you should try some real Belgian Trippels. There's some amazing beers out there.

Since we derailed the thread - allow me to suggest my all time favorite (but redonkulously expensive) beer:

$6 per tiny bottle.

Japanese craft beer, from just outside of Tokyo. Red and White rice beers are incredible, but they have a range.

Having visited America a few times I can confirm your beer is watered down horse piss...... WTF are your brewerys thinking?

 

[avatar299]

Uh Ive had various types of beer folks. Not just Miller Lite/Budlight. Though the microbrew stuff sounds interesting.

And wine is the drink of gods. That "other" thread amuses me.

You're drinking bud and Coors. Drink Alaskan Amber, Mac and Jacks, Full Sail etc. anything that they serve on the Northwest coast. Which is a lot. Or Microbrews. For some reason, Seattle serves amazing beers in every bar.

What exactly did you drink? Fucking Keystone?

 

[Ferga]

Champagne > Beer > White Wine > Vodka > Red Wine


My preference

 

[iamaustrian]

NZ wines >>>> Aussie wines

And I'd love to try more of your guys beers because Coopers fucking sucks. You need better North American distribution of your smaller breweries.

austrian wines > NZ wines

the wines win in almost every catagory

 

[Stinkles]

He makes a fine broad point. Generally, our beer is weak (5% proof? SERIOUSLY?) and tastes like ass. I grew up in Scotland, where the beer was generally BRUTALLY strong and tasted like a Witch's vajingle.

Anywhere in Europe, the "average" beer is better than our US "average" beer. Can't really argue that. We drink, as a Nation, piss. Of course LOTS of us drink LOTS of amazing American beers too.

Seriously?

 

[teh_pwn]

Well alcohol is sort of like bacteria piss.

But then again, that's a pretty bad argument to hate beer because bacteria also makes cheese.

I don't like Rieslings and other sweet wines.

Then how come beer can't taste good like cheese? Or why can't beer taste like cheese for that matter.

Yeast. If you get bacteria in your beer it's infected.

Or you're making a lambic, gueuze, Flemish red ale or Berliner weisse.

 

[Deku]

must be all that barley.

 

[Wellscha]

Seriously?

I've yet to find anything that taste better.

Spoiler

Not that it taste good by any means.

I have seen these in specialty liquor stores here in Vancouver so you may want to investigate in Seattle to see if anyone brings it in as someone just may have them.

Beer with way more alcohol is very easy to find. To me though the alcohol content is almost like the enemy if you actually drink for the taste. Eventually I'm gonna get drunk and it'd be nice if it wasn't after two or three of them, as it can be with a lot of microbrews and whatnot.

Oh man, getting drunk after about 4 beers is glorious.

 

[Max@GC]

Anecdotal evidence: a friend of the family is a businessman in Hong Kong. He buys hop from Germany for Chinese beer companys because he says German hop is world-renowned for its superior taste. He told us that the taste has something to do with the soil and the climate where it´s cultivated.

Oh they do. Place on 45th st. It still ranges from $5:25 to $6 per bottle. I've seen it at that price in other places too.

 

[Complex Shadow]

theres your problem.

 

[DarkJediKnight]

You fail at being a man.

Lol, what movie is this from?

 

[Get'sMad]

A life without being able to enjoy the satisfaction of a nice cold beer.....man, that would suck.

I'm going to drink a 6 pack of Sierra Nevada this afternoon.

 

[projekt84]

Beer you just have to try different ones until you find something you can appreciate. Then it gets good.

In Bruges, just watched that yesterday.

 

[hulkamania-owns-you]

i am lucky like you op, i can't stand the taste and won't drink it for a buzz. i haven't tasted a drink i liked really. it has probably saved me from fights, broken shit and loved ones relationships as well as my pocketbook so that is good. and i look around and all the idiots that drink and look down upon them and don't like to hang out with them when they act stupid.

i am guilty though of once in a while taking a drink with vodka, maybe 2 in a row to get a buzz and to put me to sleep. i get warm and sweaty and start pervin around the house off the walls, then i know its time to lay down and have an awesome sleep where my bones don't hurt and shit. i'm a hoss but can't handle liquor and with this much of a drink i don't wake up with a headache or anything, i wake up refreshed.

 

[phillipgessert]

I never do this. I hate when people do this. It's the most unfunny comment ever. But I'm just so excited about this I have to share it!

When I read the topic I thought it said - why does beer taste like scorpions

 

[tokkun]

And wine is the drink of gods. That "other" thread amuses me.

As others have said, beer is an acquired taste, just like dry red wine, coffee, grapefruit juice, and olives. Most people will not like the taste when they start, and will only grow to enjoy it after repeated exposure. Whether you want to make that investment is up to you.

Having visited America a few times I can confirm your beer is watered down horse piss...... WTF are your brewerys thinking?

That's ridiculous. America probably has the largest and most diverse collection of craft brewers of any country. If anything, American IPAs, APAs, and Imperials have gotten excessively strong. It sounds like you're making a judgment only on cheap macrobrews.

 

[J.ceaz]

On the first page there was a poster who likened beer and liquor to drinking black coffee. Saying no drink should be bitter or sour. Now I'd like to state my belief that all beer and liquor tastes "bad" and that if you don't like it don't drink it. That being said I believe the horrible taste of beer, liquor, and black coffee lets you know that you are ingesting a drug. If you wan't to get drunk then you're gonna have to learn to deal with it. Otherwise invent some new beer that tastes better. There are plenty out there but it will probably take twice the amount of those to get you as drunk as a normal amount of budweiser. At the end of the day man up and drink beer/liquor or don't get drunk.
