I drink alot of different brands and so on

I usually drink:

Samuel Adams Boston Lager
Gösser Dark Beer
Fullers London Porter
Duvel
Erdinger Weissbier Dunkel
and the list goes on...

These are all really really great beers, try them if you like!

Some beers I really cant take though is the IPAs.. its mainly the aftertaste, its way to bitter for my liking. I also dislike Innis and Gunn alot, I almost puked when I drank it, its not beer for me!

How did you get across this one?
Thought it to be one of Belgian's best kept secrets (and one of our finest).

My brother gave me one. I believe his girlfriend's father actually introduced it to him. Its on the expensive side though so I don't have it often. It is a really great beer though.

Adams' Boston Lager is definitely ridiculously good for it's price! I recommend everyone gives it a try if they enjoy lagers!

;p

Pity you don't like IPAs, though! They're may favorites! I'm sipping a Stone Levitation right now!

Recently got to try some Darkstar Expresso and Darkstar Sunburst. The Expresso reminded me a bit of a toned down, watered down Imperial Stout. The Sunburst was pretty much what it sounds like, light mouth feel, fruity, kinda fizzy, mildly bitter at the end. Really hits the spot on a warm day.

Most stuff from Fullers and Adnams (not US Adams!) is enjoyable for the price as well. US craft beers are far too expensive to enjoy regularly on a student budget, but hey graduating this summer so probably going to celebrate with a Yeti Imperial Stout or/and a Stone's Arrogant Bastard.

I must say, I find that few things more enjoyable than sitting down with good friends and enjoying a beer or two.

I'm a craft brew fanatic and I'm lucky enough to live in a part of the country where breweries are plentiful. I think in my small county there has to be a five or six different breweries? Mmm. Good shit.

That's awesome! There are only 5 breweries in my entire state (connecticut) though granted most of them make some pretty damn good stuff.

I've been trying to make a point to try different beer every time. Lately been on an IPA kick, but during the winter was drinking as many stouts as I could get my hands on.

I'm really glad that craft beer is becoming more popular in the US. Still, sometimes a lite american pils really hits the spot on a hot summer day.

Probably my favorite brewery at the moment is NY's Southern Tier. Everything i've had from them has been really solid and also very reasonably priced

The only decent Dutch beer I've had so far is Amstel, but Dutch beer in general is too sharp and bitter imo. I love Palm, it's rich and sweet (and cheap harrrharrr). Any other beers you guys would recommend me?

I know it's mentioned in the OP, but this is the Extra Stout version that is brewed in Canada, I suppose for easier NA export and probably because Canada can be a very favorable place to manufacture (because of healthcare, as opposed to the US).

Been having 2 of these or one of the bigger 22oz bottles pretty much every night. The lower Alcohol content is nice (can 2 drink with dinner and almost no inebriation), and that huge flavor is just soooo addictive! I'm afraid I may never like another beer again

Grettin you have really good taste in beer!

Some of my favorites.

Singha and Red Stripe are so overlooked. Singha is easily like the most perfect tasting lager I've ever had.

One of the best beers i have ever tasted, really different than the usual wheat beers i've been drinking before. Though, with 9€ price, it should be pretty good, but imo its really worth it. This is from Norway and name Nøgne Ø Imperial IPA (#500). I suggest to anyone who enjoys good beer!

Czech beer is great, my brother imports it quite often.

As for other beers, I really like "Salitos, Tequila". That's a great one.

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

Not all beers taste the same. Since you like sugary drinks -- I absolutely loathe sodas of any kind, I really don't understand how people can pour a glass of carbonated water with 20 spoons of sugar down their throats.. really disgusting -- it's probably safe to say you won't find normal laggers to fit your taste.. though you might want to try a smooth orangy heffe, like a weihenstephaner and see if you like it.

some one should probably tell you that your pouring molding bacteria down your throat when you drink beer then

Do you happen to eat cheese or yogurt?

yes i have no problem with it myself, I was just demonstrating that a lot of foods (even beer as demonstrated) is just as disgusting if you think about it as soda is. My point was less that beer is disgusting and shouldn't be consumed but more to show the pointlessness of pointing out such things.

As an idea, I've been on a visit to a soda factory once. The best thing there were these ~1m^3 (around 9 cubic feet I think) plastic cubes/vats with a skull on them and "corrosive" underneath. That is baby soda.

As a German and big wheat beer (Weizenbier) drinker I agree. This is the best of the most common wheat beers and if you can find it in the USA it's definitely worth a try!
