Well, I guess that's true. Though taste-wise, all of them except Tactical Nuclear Penguin taste more like vodka than normal beer anyway. So if you like vodka, you'd probably like those too.Originally Posted by Bunny
This only mean one thing: you have yet to try the right beer.Beer tastes like pisswater. As I said before, I'll stick to my Vodka and Rum.
I'll post a few very interesting beers that I've come across. I think they are pretty good too:
1: Aphrodisiaque
It tastes like coffe. And I don't mean "a vauge hint of coffe". It really tastes like it freaking is coffe, somehow made into beer... and with a hint of chocolate.
2: Lava
Most people will probably not like this one much, but I think it's okay. And it's certainly strange the first time you drink it. It tastes a whole lot like... tar. Yes, tar. Yet somehow drinkable and, in my opinion, pretty good. Certainly interesting.
3: Heresy
This is probably my second fav beer. Only Samuel Adams' "Utopias" can beat it ( the one in my first post. And Utopias is over 10 times as expensive ). The interesting thing about it? Well, it has a stronger taste than most wine, is quite fruity and very sweet... and you just can't not like it. If you get a chance to try this one, and you don't like it, there is something wrong with you.
So yeah... all you people saying you don't like beer. Try this one out if you can find it. It will change your minds. And if it doesn't, welll... smurf you.
Don't click if you love squirrels!

This made me smile.Don't click if you love squirrels!
Do it!I actually got one of those in store, but have yet to try it out. I'll be sure to do so soon.
Drink much pisswater?Beer tastes like pisswater. As I said before, I'll stick to my Vodka and Rum.
really? I missed out.
Kwak. It's a beautiful Belgian beer. It's 8.4 per cent though so it's not one to down!
The glass it comes in is phenomenal! Can't post a picture unfortunately but it is awesome.
Dragonmead Microbrewery <-----This place has ALL the brews!
My favorites are Redwing Raspberry wheat, Willy's Oompa Loompa stout and Reverend Fred's Oatmeal Stout (which is a lot like Guiness but 10x better).
Outside of that I really like Woodchuck cider beer (Not sure if that counts here or not....its a beer made with apple cider) and Michigan brewing co's pumpkin spice ale in the fall (Tastes like pumpkin pie)
Also..beer is good...and stuff.
Beer IS pisswater. I'm convinced. I'll take liquor or wine kthanx.
I've had PABST before and don't see the big hooplah about it. I guess because it's cheap?
If that's the best you've had, you have plenty to discover. I'm convinced that you can enjoy beer as long as you can enjoy wine, because there is plenty of beers out there that beats many kinds of wine in flavour. You won't find these beers at your average bar though, so check on the internet or something where to find some.
Heck, if you are able to find the "Heresy" beer from my first post, "Rigor Mortis" brewed by Brasserie Dieu Du Ciel or Stone's Imperial Russian Stout (the one in NCG's first post), then I'd even consider making a wager: "if you buy one of these and think they also taste like piss water, I'll freaking pay for it". Though you'd have to be 100% honest, obviously. And you don't need to "love it", just "like it".
Tried it out now, and damn you got some good taste. Very good beer. I also got a "Double Bastard" from the same brewery and will try that one out shortly.
Don't have it, but I happen to live only 10 mins away from the pub with the largest beer sortiment in Sweden (and it's only quality beer and I freaking love it) and I know they got that one, so I'll be sure to try it out next time.

I was just like you over a year ago until I tried Microbrews. Microbrews are the key to beer happiness.
Even people who drink Pabst think it's disgusting. Its just a beer that, apparently, after a few you can down them like water and not taste a thing.
I hate virtually all beers. There are two I can drink.
1) Shmirnoff: Green apple Bite. Yes it's a bitch beer, but I like girly drinks!
2) New Castle.
Mostly I stick with Liquor. Give me some Gentlemen Jack. I may take it like a wuss, but man it's delicious. The Whiskey Burn is awesome.
Absinthe also makes for a fun time. No need to mix either one of these with anything, (Well, the water and sugar for absinthe, but I mean anything other then what it's suppose to have.).
Greatest drink ever though should have failed. I present to you the process (Though not exact) of crafting the Almost Fail.
1) Fill a tumbler about with 1/8 Triplesec, 3/8's Mountain dew. Add 3 squirts Lime Citris.
2) Add in a splash of egg nog. (This is where it starts to sound bad, but bear with me.)
3) Fill to about 3/4s with your friends drink of Vodka and Mountain dew (I believe he had equal parts both).
4) Fill rest of tumbler with Cranberry Juice, add a couple more squirts of Lime Citris.
That drink sounds like it should be horrifying, yet it tasted like the most delicious Fruit Punch to have ever existed in this realm. If a god truly existed, that sweet elixir was the proof.
I don't know if I have one favorite, but here's some that come to mind.
I found Xingu a while back and hadn't tried it before. It's very smooth. It's a great dark beer.
Bishop's Finger is my go-to beer when I buy bottled. When I go to bars (as if I ever leave the house) I tend to prefer stouts.
Correction: you hate virtually all beers you've tasted so far.I hate virtually all beers. There are two I can drink.
1) Shmirnoff: Green apple Bite. Yes it's a bitch beer, but I like girly drinks!
2) New Castle.
To be honest, New Castle too is a very softcore beer with little actual taste when compared to the real deal. Like starlet said, the microbrews are the keys to enjoying beer for real. If you ever just so happen to come to Sweden, I'm gonna shove some sexy beer culture down your throat until you like it. <3
That does certainly sound interesting, and I'll have to try it out sometime. But I'm quite convinced that if there is any one drink in this world worthy of being called a sweet elixir or proof of a god's existence, then it is "Utopias".
...I'll explain this one a bit more. And while it is considered "beer" because of the way it has been made, it's so unlike any other beer that it would be more accurate to call it a damn fine aged sherry or cognac. Ye, while it does remind you more of a sherry or cognac in taste and characteristics than an actual beer, it really isn't quite that either. It's more like its very own kind of beverage, really.
It is one of the most expensive beers you can find though. It has been aged for 16 years on a wide variety casks. It's 27%, yet very sweet.
During the "Sweden Beer and Whiskey Festival" which I went to with two friends, I saw there was a single bottle of this beer. You could try 2 centiliters for about $22. I told them to try it. They thought it was insane to pay that much for a mere 2 centiliters any kind of beer. I told them it was worth trying at least once and eventually managed to convince them. They both ended up buying another 2 centiliters each. And one of them even ended up buying a whole bottle (just like me) later.
...but while this beer is on a level of its own and can hardly be called "beer", it's possible to find everything inbetween this and a normal, cheap light beer. There is a whole darn lot of really good quality beer out there, if you just look a little further than to your regular store.
This one's an old favourite of mine. Love it.
Edit:
Hey, Rantz? Ever been to the Beer and Whiskey festival? They've got a whole lot of cool wines and stuff to try out too. I'm sure you'd love it.
