Some people just don't have the pallet for beer. I'd just say always be open to try new things, because hey maybe you'll find the exception to your rule. I wouldn't force yourself into getting used to the taste, you'll just spend a lot of good money trying to convince yourself that its better than the last time.

Not a fan of spirits, when I drink I prefer to keep it classy and just have a good time instead of enduring terrible taste, projectile vomiting and a killer hangover...

My picks:
Beer?

More fancy?

Love beer in general, the only things I won't drink are Budweiser, bud light, miller, miller light... Pretty much the cheap American beer.
|
Bud Light... common nao I think that TL can do better than that. Not sure if it is sold in you area OP but Sierra Nevada's Hoptimum has about 10x the ingredients as that "beer" that you are drinking. It's around 14% so after a bottle you can feel it, if you can get your hands on it I would really recommend it.

One of the places I go has £1 spirits with 50p mixers, so me and a few friends decided to just try properly random concoctions.
Malibu + Strawberry Panda Pop, it looks as feminine as a chihuahua in a hand bag but my shit it tastes fantastic.

yay beer! any. none of that fancy hipster beverages.

though i am open to new alcohols these are generally what i like the most so far (there are various different hard liqueurs in there too that i have at parties but i'm never quite sure what those are xD)
and don't forget Alaskan distillery though i often have trouble ordering from them, being underage in america sucks :/

Well all this talk about delicious alcohol convinced me I needed to go out last night. Went to the local coffee shop (14 beers on tap) to try a blonde on nitro and Rogues dark IPA. Fucking delicious! Then a quick walk down the street to my favorite bar in town. It was thursday which meant $6 long islands. Even more deadly when its Sarah behind the bar (she does the deepest pours in the city). Now generally I can never remember what the thursday special is because...well...$6 long islands do that to your memory. 2 long islands do me quite quite well but I can never stop until I drink that 3rd one which is...well it just gets me to the brink of tolerance and physical ability to act rationally. So I'm on number 3 thinking "yeaaa sweet after I down this, finish listening to the band, then I can walk home. It's just the 3 Long Islands, I'm used to it". What I forgot about was the 2 pints I had earlier in the evening. Needless to say I made it about halfway home with plenty of cuts and bruises before some guys talked me in to getting a cab. Woke up, intense pain in the parts of my body that familiarized themselves with concrete, and I lost my phone.
Daaaammmmnnnn you TL thread. I blame it all on you. Anyone else have some silly stories caused by an overabundance of alcohol?

Was one party where id managed like 10 or so beer's, and a few shots or so of vodka+oj.
All i remember of that night is being in one room, then a few minutes later id "wake up" and be in another.
could have swore i had teleportation powers that night.
Oh and since i missed it earlier asking about scotch, i'll just have to say until you guys have drank some home brewed rock-gut(as we call it) white liqour you really havent lived yet imo.

You live in Corvallis Oregon, sir. Home of the legendary Bomb's Away Cafe and their crazy good drink prices. Love that place...man I miss Monroe street.

Any bartenders at TL? Wanted to try some easy mixes(< 3 components). Any recommendations?

Haha you fucking nailed it man! Yes, the place is pretty fucking legendary. Monroe is great, I work right across from the Brew Station so beer breaks are pretty frequent.
As far as drunken teleportation goes, I mean your sense of reality is interrupted and suddenly you are in a new place at some different time with no conscious idea of how it happened. I would call that teleportation.

what i remember is seamless transitions where i was in one room then in another, with no memory of how i got there.
sounds like teleportation to me.

I honestly did not think this thread would become this popular.
Thank you everyone for your contributions, I've actually penned down quite a few brews I'm going to try.
Keep the thread alive, I get excited every time I click this page and see some new brew/war story.

Cider all the way - beer and wine just taste gross to me. And everything else you don't drink for the taste.
