>>22023095 All of them. The only beer I've ever had that was good was some apple sour thing. I normally drink cider. No, I am not high. I just tried Sapporo
>>22023228 it's always tastelets that seethe at people with functioning palates lol a deep‑rooted insecurity stemming from a faint underlying awareness of their inferiority
>>22023090 Beer is the worst alcohol. Its pure estrogen, you have to drink a bunch of it and piss a lot, has high calories and gives you a "beer belly"
>>22023090 Neither do I. Also, the fact you gotta bloat your belly with gallons of liquid to feel same buzz of like 6 shots of vodka... At least with liquor, you can mix in tasty sodas
>>22023090 Unironically, try a non-alcoholic beer. If you like it, then you don't like the taste of alcohol in the normal beer. If you hate it, then you just don't like beer and you should try other drinks.
>>22023090 Drink a Belgian white on a hot summers day. Refreshing as fuck and easy to drink.
If you're a beer drinker, never drink something recommended by an expert from microbreweries. It'll be an ultra hoppy IPA, a bitter "grapefruit" beer or some random shit that tastes like someone's left a bunch of coins in a glass of water overnight. Beer is an aquired taste and you first get used to the flavour then start liking it.
Nothing wrong with being a cider drinker though, just don't be known as someone who only drinks the ultra sweet alchopop ones like pic related (although I've never known anyone who can actually get to the end of one of these without finding it way too sickly)
>>22023090 After over a decade of excessively drinking everything from the most rancid liquors to the most premium ones, I've settled on vodka lemon drop cocktails. Don't waste your time anon. Drink stuff that tastes good and fresh.
>>22023543 >the fact you gotta bloat your belly with gallons of liquid to feel same buzz of like 6 shots of vodka >fact you want fact? let's do fact. 6 shots = 6 beers 6 * 12oz. = 72oz. gallon is 128oz.
>>22023090 When I quit caffeine I craved the bitter taste of coffee so much that I started drinking non-alcoholic beer just to have something that was bitter.
>>22023674 >beer isn't bitter. It is, that's the whole point of hops. They're even called "bittering hops" in the context of brewing. Beer without hops has a faint sickly sweet taste that's unpalatable to most people and the bitterness from the hops is what makes it taste refreshing. If your palate is properly developed then you enjoy bitter foods/drinks like coffee, tea, beer, vegetables, etc. Many people have stunted palates from growing up eating processed and overly sweetened food though
>>22023090 Many such cases, the only mainstream alcoholic drinks that taste worse than beer is absolutely fucking foul "reused fruit mash vodka" level slop from eastern/southern Europe. Sure you can go even worse by dropping the "mainstream" qualifier, if you seek out illegal chinese fermented pig uterus moonshine or someshit.
>>22023090 The thing about beer is you have to try it on a hot day when you're thirsty. Like so thirsty you could drink your own warm piss and like it because the reward of immediate hydration completely nullifies and overpowers your actual sense of taste. That is when you instead try drinking a cold beer.
It's barley tea with floral scents that contains depressants. Some people like that. Hell, a lot of people like that. But your dislike of it could very well be age related and sensitivity to fermentation.
One of the reasons is that your palate tends to shift away from sweeter foods and more towards bitter flavors as you age. And fermentation is a great way to reduce sugar-content in a food while improving bitterness. On a similar not if you're not initiated, this is also what people refer to with "Dry"ness in drinks. It's usually in reference to how much of the sugar is left after fermentation. Bitterness is just something that people like from time to time. And it's something you should expose yourself to periodically for no reason other than to test yourself and understand how your own palate evolves.
>>22024645 I'm 35 and work with a lot of alcoholics. Trust me, they don't work very hard and most aren't wanted on the job site. 1/10 are okay. 1/100 are the anomaly. I'd still take a sober guy over them any day
>>22024659 >I'd still take a sober guy over them any day anyone would. i just want to dunk on the zoomer peddling their zoomer memes. the only people who are worried about estrogen in beer are people that don't drink it.
I drink beer for the effect and cost effectiveness Clean taste is important too I mostly appreciate Jap beer for a clean finish, although I would drink Michelob a lot because it's the closest thing to water in that category Also >tfw just tried Cutwater for the first time [spoiler]It's fucking cancer and I understand why it's gaining popularity[/spoiler]
>>22024789 >>22024849 Despite the fact that I still think your effortpost is wasted on OP, effortposts are appreciated by the lurkers who are actually the majority here. Thanks, anon.
>>22024298 Looks like a bloody mary. And that may be something you enjoy (and so do I), but most don't consider spicy tomato juice and booze to be "thirst quenching on a hot day" as much as something like an ice cold light lager would be. Duh.
>>22025246 I knew a guy who drank 24 cans of Natural Ice every day and it killed him before 40. It was awful what happened to his body in the final months.
>>22026889 There's so many things you don't realize until you've been through it and seen it. I can only sleep for four hours at a time because I'll wake up to heart palpitations running hundred degree fevers every night. I don't use a blanket anymore because i run so hot and i sweat so much that my mattress will still be wet from the night before. It's fucked up. I wish i could sleep.
It’s a state of mind thing, if you’re not an alcoholic. I keep beer wine and liquor handy just in case I’m in the mood for any of them. Usually it’s just cheap blended scotch with a splash of ginger ale tho simple clean classic
I don’t really like hoppy/malty beers (Celestia forbid you drink a ((malt beverage)) which tastes like pure salt and shit), but I had a cold Kokanne not too long ago and it was pretty alright, very smooth and crisp tasting.
>>22028169 Not a beer guy at all but do remember Carlsberg usually being my go to if I decided to buy some to calm down after shots. It's quite a subtle taste and doesn't make you feel sick
beer is a great time. whats not a great time is being reminded that alcoholics exist, and the whiney bitch that wants to ruin your good time every time you want to kick back and enjoy the spices of life.
>>22023090 >>22023106 Yeah I don't know what to tell you sorry I mostly drink (in no particular order) VB, Kirin Ichiban, Pilsner Urqeull, Oettinger Pils, White bay pilsner or some questionable homebrew pilsner. But none of those sound like your cup of tea sorry. Maybe Corona with lime? It's fairly agreeable to all my friends who don't really like beer. >>22028169 I had carlsberg for the first time the other day and it tasted really yeasty, like I'd expect from homebrew that was still fermenting. Can any anons outside of Australia attest to this? I know they are brewed under licence in a bunch of countries, I'm wondering if the Aussie stuff is yeasty, all the Carlsberg outside of Denmark is yeasty or it's all true to the original which is yeasty. I know I sound like a sperg but it was like eating vegemite.
>>22023090 when i turned 30 i suddenly loved the taste of beer. i was persuaded to drink asahi last time i was in tokyo by a qt waitress. i guess age alters taste buds over time? idk.
>>22023090 >try a different beer in a diifferent style It's that easy. Find a decent pub or off licence or whatever they're called where you're from, ask for some recommendations, try them and see if you like them. If not then just buttchug Everclear like the rest of us
>>22030620 good news, if you love the taste of beer but don't want to be an alcoholic you can just buy non-alcoholic beers and drink them every day no problem. No one does this because beer does not taste good and the alcohol is the point
>>22030620 >>22031096 I crave beer when I'm high and I drink non-alcoholic beer every day. Once your palate adjusts to the lack of alcohol it tastes just like normal beer.
>>22023090 You just need to drink it every day for a year until you kill your tastebuds and adjust to the flavour of rot and piss. It's similar to coffe.
>>22032633 i actually love cars and am an inline 6 enthusiast in particular, having owned both german and domestic examples. but man, i have such antipathy for you. you are such an annoying and unpleasant poster. why are you this way?
>>22023090 Beer tastes awful. It only tastes "okay" when freezing cold. However there are many alcoholic beverages that taste great. I would recommend spiced rum and coke. Buy a decent one because the cheapest ones taste like shit and also preferably a diet coke so you don't die of excessive blood sugar. Just fill half a glass with cold coke and add (chilled) spiced rum until it starts to taste bad.
>>22023106 >All of them. Bet you haven't tried all of them. Nobody has. There's loads of different ones, many of which you can only get in a few places. On the other hand, maybe you're one of those mutants that simply doesn't like bitter tastes.
>>22023243 >functioning palates A functioning palate is highly adverse to bitter flavors, because bitterness signals poison. You literally have to ruin your senses to "enjoy" beer, like a beaten wife.
>get peer pressured into taking a shot >want to gag but keep cool >don't feel a buzz until 10 minutes later and it only lasted 3 minutes before sobering up People pay $15 per shots at some places? Alcohol is for chumps jesus.
>>22031686 There's no situation where someone tastes beer at 20, hates it and never touches it again until 40, and magically loves it. The people talking about this "palate change" cope >>22024615 are just describing the effects of years of forcing themselves to drink because they're normalfag cattle who can't function socially without being high.
If I gave you a drug that tasted like shit but you liked the way it made you feel, and you kept using it for a decade, maybe I gave you a bunch of varieties that tasted like different variations of shit, then by the end you'd have all sorts of cope about how you like the flavor and how one kind of shit tastes better than the other kind and so on.
>>22023090 There are two kinds of drinkers, people who drink to get drunk and people who drink because they like the taste of alcohol. The former will often be honest about the fact that alcohol does not have a pleasant taste. It is literal poison, after all. The latter are always, without exception, people who have spent many years drinking regularly until they stockholmed themselves into enjoying it. There is not a single person on the planet who could taste Laphroaig as their first exposure to alcohol and enjoy it, but there are plenty of old men who have been drinking for decades who will tell you that they love it. That's not because their "palate changed"; it's because they conditioned themselves to the taste over long years of drinking.
>>22034844 If you drink the regular coke you're probably too young to worry about diabetes. I certainly don't have it but I would prefer to keep it that way.
>>22035585 X and coke is for teenagers and trash. The only reason to mix anything with coke is to get fucked up. It may compliment rum a bit but ginger beer is much better than coke at that.
>>22023090 You have to develop a taste for alcohol, like any other junk food. If you never tasted junk food in your life until you were an adult, it'd probably make you sick, too.
>>22023106 What you probably drank was either Angry Orchard or Midori, a liqueur. Most likely you have an undeveloped palate. This is very normal. Until you drink more you will not be able to detect the more subtle notes of the drinks. They really do exist, you simply have to grow accustomed to the flavor and kick of alcohol to taste the more subtle bits.
>>22023090 Try a oatmeal stout maybe mixed with a honey wine. Macro brew stuff is all piss water. A new england style i.p.a. will taste more like orange juice with hints of mango and such in the background. Whatever you do... never try rye beer. NASTY AS FUCK.
>>22038402 Somebody drinks them >designated driver who needs to be holding a "beer" to not be the group cuck quite as obviously >predatory people in professional environments who want to look like they're drinking for social reasons, but want to stay sharp >alcoholics "in recovery" who need to crush at least a 6er a night "for the taste" out of pure habit Who does not drink them: >people at home by themselves with no history of alcoholism, just looking for a tasty drink
>>22038788 no please bro you don't understand there's different strains just try it you have to you just havent found the right one yet please >>22038431 the most-loved beer among people who already like beer is going to be like the optimal, perfect "essence of beer" and be equally disgusting to people who don't like beer. ironically people who don't like beer are more likely to tolerate the macro lagers because they don't taste like much
>>22038795 >Ive only tried bell peppers and have decided I hate them >What about all these other peppers with different tastes and uses? >I won't try them because bell peppers are bad
>>22038808 I personally like peppers but that would be reasonable considering that bell peppers are pretty much solely the basic Pepper flavor and if you hate them, every other pepper tastes a bit like them and so you will hate all the others a little bit
>>22038805 I'm a cider guy myself and yeah, lambic/kriek is lovely. The low abv doesn't bother me none because I don't like getting drunk, but some a bit before bed to help me sleep is nice.
>>22040123 All 3 of those taste like bell pepper plus some other shit, thai less so as it's a more distant relative, habanero is a little fruity and obviously pretty hot but still tastes like a pepper, jalapeno absolutely does to the point that I assume you must be just baiting me because if you get a weak jalapeno that isn't very spicy it may as well just be a fucking bell pepper.
>>22040314 It's not offensive it's just stupid. There are so many different styles that disregarding beer entirely is just kind of retarded and a sign of a childish palate
>>22023106 Pilsners, lagers, wits and all that watery low abv bullshit tastes like piss. Most foreign beer is piss too. 7% alcohol MINIMUM is needed for a good drinking beer.
>>22023090 Wait until you hear about "alcohol free beer"! Some people want to get drunk for cheap, and I understand that fact, but then you consider alcohol free beer, and it's just like wtf are you?
>>22043470 Beer is not the cheap way to get drunk. There's cheap beer for getting drunk, but cheap liquor will always be cheaper for logistical reasons. I drink non-alcoholic beer because I enjoy drinking beer and I don't want to drink alcohol.
>>22042275 >>22043383 Same lol used to be able to crush a 12 pack by myself at parties and now if I drink more than two drinks I get sick and feel awful the entire next day. Still do it at least once a month though
>>22043967 It actually is depending on where you live, and it was more-so in the past > There's cheap beer for getting drunk Why are you pretending to not know what I'm talking about then? Why are you acting like a pedantic retard just to argue? Fuck off. >I drink non-alcoholic beer Oh, it all makes sense now. You're one of those weirdos. I mean, we all have different tastes, but if you're drinking alcohol-free beer, then you are fucking up like no-one else. I question your humanity. Not implying you're a bot, but you're certainly not one of us lmao Joking aside you make no sense, so I'm just riffing on you. Why would you avoid the small percentage of alcohol in beer in order to drink something that tastes so awful? >I think it tastes good! Still doesn't explain why you don't drink actual beer, pod person :^) You don't seem that bad, though. Honestly.
>>22045120 You're rambling again, sweetie. Have you taken your meds today? Yes, there is cheap beer. But it's absurd to say that beer is the "cheap way to get drunk" when cheap beer costs more than cheap liquor. Depraved alcoholics spend their cash on hooch, not Bud Light or whatever it is you think tastes good. When I have drunk Bud Light, all I tasted was alcohol, not beer. Since I think beer tastes better than alcohol, I drink beer without alcohol. The fact that you think swill tastes better than something that tastes like beer is telling. Before I stopped drinking, I didn't drink pisswater just to get drunk, so we clearly have different priorities.
I'm am alcoholic and could never even drink beer. It's like 4-5% pisswater that bloats, fattens, and estroginizes you, all while hardly even getting you drunk because I physically cannot stomach enough of the swill before my body revolts and rejects it.
For me, it's vodka in a cup cut with coke or orange juice. Strong as fuck as well like 50/50, or even more.
Personally I think ALL alcohol is utterly disgusting. I cam stomach wine when I'm broke but it's not a choice. It's just the alcohol percent (~15%) is enough for my body to ingest the liquid volume and feel the DRANK. Beer is just not even an option for me. It ALL tastes disgusting. Everyone pretends to like it to seem adult which is incredibly cringe as well.
>drink alcohol >after barely 1 beer: >feel intensely sleepy in public >literally fall asleep at home etc, I simply don't know what to do or drink. I'm softlocked from being an alcoholic.
>>22045290 You have no point to make. You defer to unironic ad hominem fallacies and you are being pedantic in order to argue for argumentations sake. A.k.a. engaging in sophistry. >But it's absurd to say that beer is the "cheap way to get drunk" when cheap beer costs more than cheap liquor This is a strawman fallacy. I never argued cheap liqueur costs less than cheap beer. I argued: >Some people want to get drunk for cheap Which is an apt statement. What a person chooses varies, sure, but most normal people defer to cheap beer. That's what I've seen at least. Also, beer prices vary wildly, and here beer is sold for very cheap prices when sales roll around. I still don't like it myself, though. If I drink, it's going to be something clean and pure. Not beer, and I rarely drink. >The fact that you think swill tastes better than something that tastes like beer is telling Another strawman fallacy. A lie really, I never claimed this. I rarely drink, and I generally detest the taste of beer. >Before I stopped drinking, I didn't drink pisswater just to get drunk, so we clearly have different priorities. The fact you think I said any of this is telling, and makes me wonder how far gone you are. Sorry about your current state of being. I hope you heal. Truly, because there's something that needs it if you think I said or implied any of this.
>>22040315 It's called onions, nigga. Not s o y, I'm talking real motherfucking o n i o n s with the peel and the layers. Look it up. Literally the opposite of s o y, it's unreal. Which is why it makes sense those jews swapped the words on our uneditable spellcheck. Also, deer antler velvet is basically a shot of test + growth hormone.
>>22035576 >If I gave you a drug that tasted like shit but you liked the way it made you feel, and you kept using it for a decade, maybe I gave you a bunch of varieties that tasted like different variations of shit, then by the end you'd have all sorts of cope about how you like the flavor and how one kind of shit tastes better than the other kind and so on. That's 100% it. I know some people who enjoy doing various drugs, and just the smell ot taste of molly or 4mmc makes them all excited. And mind you, these things taste like the most bitter and chemical ever, but just because they associate it with good times they don't mind the taste at all. At least when. You have white powder they are not going to pretend it's some natural development of palate when you become an adult, they all know this is just how their body reacts to supernormal stimuli.
>>22023090 Yeah, I know beer is shit, vodka is shit, wine is shit - tastes horrible I love tequila though - it has that... aroma to it, you know what I mean? I also tolerate soju and like mead - I like mead very much Any other 'tasty' alcohol, anons?
>>22050930 My first full drink was a 7% ABV cider, it was nice. More of a regional brew. I've heard some beers are also are centered around the flavor of fruit so I'll have to try those.
>>22051145 >A portion of sales help save endangered tigers Really? Damn I hope it's good because then I'll buy more of it.
Also I HAVE to shill getting a beer machine. If you like beer, it's fucking awesome. Stuff from the bottle just doesn't compare. You get a perfect pint everytime and it's economical by the litre if you exclude the initial purchase. >>22050965 >31yo here. Beer still tastes bad. Do you drink in general and have you given beer a fair chance? You drink cheap piss lagers of course you'll hate it. It's like people only drinking £5 Californian Barefoot and going "I don't like wine". Have a nice dinner (something oily, carby, or spicy) with a nice cold beer with it. Try some ale, maybe an IPA (probably don't try stout), or a more full bodied lager like the belgian varieties but be experimental and look for things you might like; you like fruitier notes look for fruitier beers, you want toffee notes try ruby ales or even amber. Some like it light, but some find that boring so go heavy.
I think we're learning something though about palates. When I didn't like beer, I drank cider, now I find it too sweet, tried beer all of a sudden it's lovely. But this isn't contained to drinks. It seems retaining your sweet tooth usually means you have less of a taste for bitternotes—like beer. My brother drinks gross sweet raspberry ciders still and he loves sweet crap. I'm personally prone to finding things saccharine where he'll eat a sleeve of strawberry biscuits for lunch.
There seems to be a pattern in the thread to liking sweet things and disliking beer/bitter things. I don't think there's anything wrong with this but it serves as an explanation. In my personal life I can think of other examples of people who don't like beers but tend to eat too much sugar
>>22051214 >Do you drink in general and have you given beer a fair chance? I drink once per year. A glass of whiskey on ice on Christmas. It's not super good, but I guess it's fine once in while.
I did tried various beers and didn't liked any of them. I guess if I have to I would pick porter style because at least it's an intense experience. But any sort of light/pale/whatever is completely unpalatable for me. I much rather drink some tea or cider if I have to drink alcohol.
>>22051214 I did actually look into beer machines after reading your previous post, I just might go for it sometime. I don't have beer often for now, but maybe that'll change (reasonably) if I find one I really like. Real interesting how many different ways of pouring there are, both from bottles and machines. Same with all the glasses.
>>22023090 You never will. It's like cigarettes, raw onions or coffee. Or hard liquor in general. Nobody actually likes the taste, they just tolerate it in exchange for one virtue or another. Cliques, tribes and in-groups form around these arbitrary decisions. That's all it is.
People who claim to like the taste of beer are trying to be liked by other people who claim to like the taste of beer. Or raw onions, or coffee or cigarettes, or booze, or fennel, or cilantro, or whatever.
>>22051483 Lol, I'm guilty of this. Black coffee doesn't taste bad to me but it definitely doesn't taste good. I just drink it because it's the respectable thing for a man to do.
>keep drinking through the awful taste telling myself it will eventually taste good >5 years later >still tastes bad >still forcing myself to drink through it
>>22051483 Ackshually, raw onion is fucking great. Eating it on its own will make the eyes water, but I still love the taste. I'd also argue there's nice tasting neat spirits (not counting sugary sweet shit).
ITT >dude just try a different strain bro! trust me once you try the 1,000th thing, you'll love it just like me!! it's IMPOSSIBLE not to like the thing i'm addicted to!!!!
>>22052768 It's stupid to chastisise people for liking/not liking a flavor when that's just a little synapse that either fires or doesn't fire, but if we weren't stupid /ck/ would lose most of it's traffic.
yeah, it's a meme beverage, waste of money. If you want to get drunk on something that tastes good, try lightly sweet Italian wines. Moscato is the white version which might be too sweet.
Italians and French have wine with many meals; they seem to be healthier than beer-heavy nations.
>>22051243 sounds like you prefer sweet drinks. stick to cider it is tasty. angry orchard is the big brand. have to drive further to get other brands but i don't care, it's all the same to me. wish it were easier to find in single bottles and cans like beer.
>>22053514 heh i wasn't referring to those. but i drank an irish whiskey recently and it was sweet. perfect level of sweetness. wish i had gotten 2 bottles.
>>22023090 >i don't get it PROTIP: All alcohol tastes like piss. People only drink it to get drunk. Because being drunk is fun and makes you feel euphoric. All the various alcoholic beverages are just ways to try and mask the flavor of the alcohol itself.
