Dry Dock i think its brewed in perth its just a super standard beer that just satisfies me. i love sharing a carton of this with my mate

Carlton fusion black this is a new beer thats come uot and its a bit of a marketing scheme i think but w/e i really enjoy it. its a "citris" beer w/e that means. taste kind of like pepsi its different.

What's a good recommendation for a mainstream beer? By that I mean one that is likely to be available in almost any bar or beer store.

The best thing about American microbrews are that they are free from strict European brewing laws which allow for more experimentation. Beer is one of the few things this country is doing right these days lol.

I love Svijany beer. It's a not too huge Czech brewery...the one that still makes proper beer. We always grab a 50l keg when i'm going somewhere with my buddies. They have the cutest sellers in their brewery too

This is how it looks in a pub <3

I have taken a liking to wheat beers recently (blue moon and various hefeweizens I have tried)

Does anyone have any suggestions for quality Weißbier I should be on the lookout for? I live in the bay area and dont really know any places that would have a particularly good selection from obscure breweries...so I probably wont be able to find much that isn't from bigger breweries.

Yes it's wheat beer, but it's commonly called Hefeweizen here as well.

Can someone explain to me what there is to appreciate when drinking beer? I don't drink beer at all, whenever I do, it tastes terrible, like really bad cough syrup.

I'm not asking with the intent of putting down beer (If I did, I'd be severely outnumbered), what I mean to ask is when I drink beer or try it, what kind of taste am I to expect? I don't like drinking to get drunk, I like drinking for the taste and potential feeling. However, I can only have maybe a glass before my mouth feels bland and maybe I'm just expecting beer the wrong way.

I drink a lot of soda and I love the strong taste and sugary feeling, will I just not like beer or should I just keep drinking until I eventually get comfortable with it. There are so many beers, so I don't even know which one to settle with (I don't even know that much about beers). Someone told me it's an acquired taste, so maybe that's it. I'm not a white wine guy nor heavy alcohol, I like red deep wine with a strong taste.

Thanks!

P.S: If it's any help, I'm in Canada, so suggest beers in Quebec/Canada.

Edit: If my post comes off condescending or poorly worded, please let me know and I'll fix it. I was trying to give an accurate portrayal of what I don't like and how it makes me feel to maybe give you guys a clue to tell me if this normal at the beginning or something that just outright tells me I'm not a beer guy

Your first problem is that you are in North America. Your beer sucks arse. It is chock full of preservatives and brewed poorly.

Go to Germany or Denmark if you want something tasty.
