Okay, almost all. I make a few rare exceptions. It tastes just...disgusting.

But, for the most part, I despise beer. I would rather take a bottle of the ****tiest hard liqour or wine available (you know, the rough equivalent of gasoline or rubbing alcohol) than a 12 pack of Newcastle.

What's wrong with me?

Wuss.

Something is wrong with you, that is for sure. I will say that Newcastle is good, but there are much better beers out there. Try a sweet summer ale, the stuff is nectar of the gods, pure ambrosia. From there you can always start moving to pale ales and other stuff.

Personally I don't drink a lot of beer, I just like a bottle or two with a meal. Though I'm not opposed to downing a 6 pack or so in a sitting.

It's an acquired taste, I'll say that. I never liked beer until I started hanging out with some friends who never drank anything but beer. Just got exposed to it enough that I developed a taste (mostly a tolerance) for it.

It went past a tolerance, though, and now I actually really enjoy it.

Your what 17? Your supposed to hate beer and not drink it. Beer doesn't taste good until you go to college and it is served to you in the cleavage of horny co-eds.

I thought you were some straight edge punk anyway, or did the pics of hardcore kid change your mind?

Nice imagery! Feel free to elaborate :D

Hey blue (reminds me of some beer-soaked softball games): try a hefeweizen or a nice cold marzen, maybe w/a little lemon in it. A lot of chicks like beer that way ;)

Don't ask why but when I was 19 I spent a summer in a small town in Nebraska. It was the summer that Dr. Dre and the Chronic were big, all the kids were wanna be gangsters. I went to a party and all the bad ass farmer gangster kids were drinking Zima thinking they were hard core because it was malt liquor. I quietly laughed my ass off for hours that night.

Gangstas in their American Eagle/Abercrombie/Gap clothes drinking Zima?

They don't have AE,Gap Abercrombie in rural Nebraska. It was all Dickie work jeans 10 sized too large, mail order basball jerseys 3 sizes too large. I stuck out like a sore thumb, strangely being from NY gave me tremendous "cred". Although dudes kept wanting to fight me for no reason. I talked my way out of more ass whoopins that summer than I care to remember.

Our roadie is from London, and he laughs at the fact that they even export that stuff to the US. He says it's "poisonous crap beer for Northerners". Pretty much the Schlitz of England. I'd have to agree.

In my lifetime, I've not had many different kinds of beers...you know...all the crap beer (Bud, Miller...Keystone :eek:), Heineken, lots of microbrew stuff from Squatters. I have yet to find one I truly enjoy.

Does Bacardi count? Thats like...bitchier than Zima...sprite with cough syrup.

At SO I drank half a Newcastle and then left the rest. The next day, I forced my self to semi-chug one of those Blonde Ales...I wanted to puke...so damned nasty!

Well have you had a Guinness? (but enough anal retentive spelling corrections) Seriously though try some hefe weizens, from experience people who don't usually like beer have liked them. Or try Hoegaarden, nice example of a witbier that might not be as displeasing because of the citrus hints in it. Only last thing I can think of it seems people who are new to beer seem to like lagers, I did for a very brief time when I first started drinking...Then I realized that I pretty much couldn't stand them. I've seen other people do the same. Its an acquired taste, but hey some people just don't like it (is that really true, I can't imagine not liking the delicious taste of a nice porter after a hard days work). Well thats the end of my semi coherent rant.

Haha this thread is hilarious.
i gotta say i've always thought the same thing as Blue. Back in the day when i drank though it was all about a means to an end. An end which usually had me goin to work then next day still half crocked. Anyways before i changed my wicked ways and became the tea totaller i am today i actually acquired a taste for Widmere Heffeviessen Wheaten Ale. Squeeze the lemon in your glass and bottoms up.

Are you Mormon? If so that probably has something to do with it. If not you probably have a mental condition or something.

Actually I was invited to a "Mormon Party" the other night. I knew it was going to be lame because this hardcore Mormon kid told me about it. Apparently they were going to do this. Buy a ****load of sugar cookies and non caffeinated sugar drinks and get all hopped up on sugar. I knew I wasn't going to go when the kid told me when it was and I REALLY knew I wasn't going when I found out they were going to get "wasted" off of ****ing sugar. Oh man that **** was so damn retarded I wanted to hit the kid. SO anyway I went to real party and got wasted off of some Crown Royal and Rolling Rock and some herb. Oh yeah a real party! It was tight!

How can you not dig beer?

Guinness is overrated, burnt swill, for the most part.

I did enjoy it on tap in Ireland, though. :think:

Guinness = chocolate milk that goes good w/ steak.

Well, I've tasted regular sweat, and I can only guess that ass sweat is just regular sweat with a good head to it, so I think I will safely assume that I know exactly what ass sweat tastes like. It tastes like Newcastle.
