Maybe that's why I like hard liqour so much...it's a pain in the ass to get drunk off of beer here.
I can't stand Newcastle either, it's really flat beer. Guiness in Ireland was something I had to do while I was there, but it was still pretty dirty. I've heard Guinness is an acquired taste, and people who enjoy it swear by it. I think Bohemia is great, Pilsner Urquell, Beck's, Hahn Premium, I'm into the lighter coloured beers as they taste like a drink, not a meal (see Guinness). Just my take on it. Maybe you just had a bad start blue, just stick at it. 
Nate is still a BITCH
i went to this party the other night, and there was sooo much dos equis... that stuff is nectar for the gods. My friend just got back from a trip to mexico, he said they hand it out down there, its always the free beer samples and stuff. plus he stayed in a resort that was "all enclusive" so he got free drinks from the bar, and free restarunt food. Basically he sat around on the beach, drank, partied, and generally had a good time. Bastard. :mumble:

Dos equis? Blech. Worse than Newcastle..............vtrider said:

Edit: Of course, it's not an ale, so YMMV
You aren't drinking the right kind. There are plenty that will get you effed up fairly quickly. Keep experimenting.blue said:
Paulaner Hefeweizen or Hacker-Pschorr Dunkelweizen are more yummy in my opinion.Skookum said:
Also, I gotta agree with Fathead on the citrus- fruit in your beer indicates that you are either a chick, a yuppy or an essay* w/a brown-bagged sixer of skunked Coronas.

Nonono...you see, I live in Utah, where the only alcohol outside of a State Liqour Store is 3.2%. Otherwise, if you're in a liqour store, you might as well buy hard stuff and wine over beer...I'm not even sure if they have 6-7% beer in liqour stores.berkshire_rider said:
I forgot about the low beer alcohol % thing. You should have tried stronger stuff when you were at the Sea Otter. :evil:
I did!berkshire_rider said:
I think they were all ales, but I hated them all...
Speaking of which, how much is a cheap pitcher of Budweiser in other parts of the country? I work at a pizza place with a (very hard to come by and rare) liqour license, and a pitcher is like $6.00...
Pitchers of beer used to be a bargain at bars / restaurants, but it seems like they are up there in $$$ pretty much everywhere, unless you go to a local dive bar when it's $3 pitcher night. (College towns come to mind).
Stick to pints of micro-brews. I can't speak for Utah, but in the Northeast most micro-breweries have a "sampler" where you get a small glass of everything the currently have on tap. It's a good way to find out what you do or don't like.

dos equis, good god man that stuff blows. I don't know about you guys but pitchers of cheap beer are still 3 bucks by me...but I don't see the sense in paying 3 bucks for something that tastes like they put hops in for about half a second and then put it straight into a can. I cant believe there are alcohol content limits on beer for a whole state....that means you cant have any of the good scottish ales or anything, what a shame.
I kinda was the same way when I first started. Had to ween myself onto beer. The first time I got drunk was in college...didn't know the difference between liquor and beer...so when some one offered me a slug from a bottle of Malibu I hit it ...found it to be tasty ...and chugged the whole bottle. I recall head butting a wooden table hard enough to knock over other people's drinks.
But yeah I didn't like beer at first....and had to ween myself to it by drinking *gasp* ...Bartle's and James' Wine Coolers. Now...all I drink is beer...no wine, champagne, or liquor.

I remember liking Mickeys before beer. it's malt liquor, which i know nothing about really, but it doesn't have any aftertaste at all. Also, Henry Weinhards is pretty mild on aftertaste, so it might be a good "training" beer. don't give up. i can't stand the thought of someone going their entire life w/o enjoying a good beer. trust me i used to hate beer as much as anyone...i used to hate guinness, but now i really appreciate the flavor...trust me once you get used it different beers have distinct flavors and qualities and are really worth the initial pain. i don't drink anything but beer now. so drink up!
The first time i ever had beer was when my roomie's bro made me drink an irish car bomb. I'll admit that at the time it didn't taste that great, but now that i think back on it, it wasn't too bad. My roomies also like corona with lime, but i've personaly never tried taht.
Corona and lime? Damn. I bet it's nice on a hot day....Nancy....the Inbred said:
I just make fun of anyone that drinks that, even though I like it
. Just sort of a policy. It is summer beer time now. I just bought a sixer of Otter Creek Middlebury Ale (my favorite brewery, mostly cause it's local and they have some variety). A bit lighter than I like but I do enjoy the way it smells and the pronounced blueberry and elderberry flavors.
I like the taste of beer, but that's just me. There's nothing wrong with not liking the taste of beer, since it tends to make people, well for lack of a better term, fat.
man whats your address, ill mail you a 6 pack of sierra nevada pale ale....or better yet, summerfest since its the seasonal beer at the moment from said brewery. around here, sierra nevada is the mtn biker beer of choice for sure.
and...berkshire rider....props on the long trail avatar...enjoyed that stuff while in vermont....

and...dont knock dos equis....if youre going for mexican food and mexican beer, its the only choice to make...that corona crap has got to go...
Corona and XX are both crap.NoRoadtrippin said:
In fact, I can't think of a good Mexican beer.

Careful with those. It usually takes a while for the alochol in those to kick in. As you wait you usually end up having a few more, along with some beer, and then you end up going home with a fattiethe Inbred said:
Summer time=pale ale time Corona is halfway decent as it is halfway between water and beer, which are both pretty good. I do admit it is nice on a hot day, but I'd rather have some PA.
I gotta find me some coopers in the states.
Turning 21 this summer, let the fun begin!

beer is way over rated. You need gallons to catch a buzz and it makes you fat and slow on a bike. It also gives you spittle mouth on rides.
gimme distilled H2O any day and a small pepsi in a bottle after a long ride.
I still find it hard to believe i made such a fuss in my 18 years of live sound mixing demanding rediculous ales and bottles with lime tucked in.
A total waste of time and $$$$$.

Double Bag, Hibernator, and Blackberry Wheat are all top-notch. Their brewery is an easy sidetrip from Killington. It's almost over to Woodstock further East on Rte. 4, right on the Ottaquechee (sp?) river. A 15 minute drive = good fresh beer. 
I love all their brews pretty much. I am definitely going to go to the brewery this summer. I've driven past it about 10 times and never had the chance to go in.berkshire_rider said:
I do live about 3 minutes from the Otter Creek brewery, though, which is nice.

Prior to moving back in Dec. I used to go by the place all the time and never stopped. I finally did and wished I had sooner. Fresh beer on tap, cases for sale at a decent price, and pint glasses. :heart:JRogers said:
I've been to Otter Creek in Middlebury, Long Trail in Bridgewater, Magic Hat in Burlington and Catamount in White river Jct. (not sure if Catamount is still there though?) One of the many benefits of going to college in VT.!!berkshire_rider said:
Oh, and what's that brewery up by East Burke? Didn't hit there, but they have a decent IPA as I recall. 
How was Catamount? 
If they are still there, I'll have to look them up. Thanksgiving is 3 exits up I-91 in Norwich ever year.
