Beer. I hate beer.
Oh, I like other alcohols. A nice cider. Some wine. A cocktail. But not beer.
And people have tried making me drink so many kinds of beer, from cheap store brands to “No, this isn’t like other beer. It’s expensive artisinal beer made in the local region that tastes like a whole fruit basket!”. No, it still tastes like beer.
I don’t get beer
the trick is to be 15 and get started with a 40 of colt 45 that your friend’s mom got for you and your friend for helping with yardwork. choke that down just for the buzz and then actual craft beer is like candy
Stealing keystone light from your parents in 7th grade makes all other beer taste amazing except for Miller light
How old are you? (this is a legit question, not trying to judge or anything). Do you drink coffee? If so, how do you like it?
Late 20s, never got into coffee except for mocha on rare occasions
You just need the right beer. Sam adams and Octoberfest. Cali squeeze blood orange tastes like orange hi-c. Devils gap Jalepeno ale. There are some good tasting beers
I’ve tried some “good” craft beers based on friends’ recommendations and still not good. I think beer just isn’t for me. I much prefer cider.
You should find a smoothie beer. They exist in all fruit flavours, I personally love them. And sour beers. Vault City and Funky Fluid are my two favourite breweries.
Recently visited The Wee Tap in Edinburgh and have tried lots of Vault City. None beat Azvex Operation Genome [26.05] Mango and Blackberry Ice Cream Sour though. Could put that in the meal deal isle with the other smoothies and no one would notice the difference.
Ooh, haven’t tried that one!
A beer shop close to me has a deal with Vault City (started two months ago): they get ALL the beers Vault City produces. I guess I’ll be spending more money going forward lol.
Btw, if you like sours, try the Foundation by VC. It’s what all their sour beers are based on, and it’s really good!
Just skimmed through the thread. You know what beverage I don’t see in here? Ginger Ale, because it is objectively amazing.
Coffee
I get it, it’s an acquired taste. But I sure don’t like it.
“acquired taste” = addictive chemical
It’s also bitter, which humans are evolved to dislike. So it literally is an acquired taste, because some people drink decaf.
This, coffee tastes like arse
The taste that coffee adds to things is great, and the smell is amazing. A bad brew tastes like bitter dirt water and has the same effect on your stomach. I’ve never had a good black brew in my life.
I do love me some coffee milk, but at that point we are right back to coffee adding flavor to things, not being good itself.
Matcha. Every everyone says it’s this wonderful day and when I try it it’s like drinking blended lawn clippings.
Matcha does taste like grass, I agree, and I still like it. I guess if I ate grass I probably wouldn’t hate it, at least from a taste perspective
It’s delicious. I also love sencha. Black coffee is also superior compared to the sugar bomb coffee drinks most of the country drinks.
Look, I champion black coffee wherever I can. I drink it decaf…
But I draw the line at matcha. Don’t lie to yourself.
Lmao your opinion is already compromised with the self admission of decaf coffee which in itself is an oxymoron.
It’s like saying sugar free Frappuccino!
Smirnoff Vodka, that shit tastes like cologne.
Sour beers / goses. I keep coming back every couple of years to see if my tastes have changed and they always taste awful to me. I’m glad most brewers hopped (pun somewhat intended) on the IPA train because I much prefer them over the sour options.
That will be IPAs for me. If I wanted to drink grapefruit pith I can think of better ways to do it.
Beer.
Sincerely, a German.
Wine. No, you’re drinking grapes that are past their expiration and smell awful. I’m not crazy!
Most teas smell like a wet forest floor to me.
If matcha wasn’t basically the new boba (at least in the West), trendy and whatnot among the girlies, people would admit it’s just grass + whatever else is in the drink (and it’s not the grass but the rest which makes it enjoyable). Or maybe it really does taste great but only for half of the Western world, idk, but it hasn’t been my experience (and my wife hates it too so there are always exceptions, lol).
Tastes like sugary lawn clippings
I find that there’s a pretty wide range in matcha quantity, and the stuff that’s actually really good is going to cost an arm and a leg, and it’s probably become a victim of its own popularity, to satisfy the demand they’re just importing more lower quality matcha.
The first time I tried it was probably like 15 years ago, I grabbed a little tin from a fancy grocery store on a whim that I think I remember costing about $20 and probably had less than an ounce of powder in it. And that stuff was really good. I then got a bigger bag of cheaper stuff somewhere and it tasted like straight-up swamp water. Most of what’s out there now that you’ve probably tried is somewhere in between. I don’t mind it, but it’s not good enough for me to want to seek it out, and the good stuff is hard to find and probably even more expensive these days.
And to make matters worse, I don’t think there’s really any official standardized grading or labeling for it, so it’s kind of hard to figure out what you’re getting, you might see things like “Ceremonial grade” thrown around, but that’s pretty much just a meaningless marketing term.
I am going to likely get downvoted to hell for this but Dr Pepper. It tastes like Raid (the bug killer spray, the way it smells is how DP tastes).
Cola’s
Big ol glass of brown, nasty liquid.
Kool-aid. Ideological Burst.
