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
Stealing keystone light from your parents in 7th grade makes all other beer taste amazing except for Miller light
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
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!
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.
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.
This, coffee tastes like arse
Just skimmed through the thread. You know what beverage I don’t see in here? Ginger Ale, because it is objectively amazing.
Kool-aid. Ideological Burst.
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.
Monster energy drinks. Tastes like what I imagine dumpster juice is like.
And any drink with Stevia in it. Instant dealbreaker if I see it in the ingredients.
I’ve tried a lot, and never really liked any of them, but I thought Monster was the best tasting of the energy drinks. Red Bull was by far the WORST energy drink I’ve ever had.
The smell too. Idk what it is about the smell of Monster when it gets warm, but it’s god awful.
Energy Drinks. Yes every single sickly disgusting rancid smelling one of them.
Matcha. Every everyone says it’s this wonderful day and when I try it it’s like drinking blended lawn clippings.
I’m just gonna go ahead and be the guy that says… all alcohols.
I’ve tried beer, wine, tequila, vodka, hard liquors, spirits, fruity drinks, creamy drinks, coffee flavored rum, hard seltzer, hard cider, champagne, you name it. They don’t all taste horrible-- coffee (even though I don’t usually drink it) and fruit flavored drinks can be acceptable-- but I haven’t ever tried a single drink that tastes good because it has alcohol, it’s always because the alcohol is overpowered by something else. Just give me the something else please.
That will be IPAs for me. If I wanted to drink grapefruit pith I can think of better ways to do it.
I see like 50 mentions and alcohol and energy drinks. I got something different.
Kombucha.
Holy shit, it’s like a soda that went off, and I don’t even like soda. It is pungent and awful and I hate that it’s marketed so well. Any time I see it on a shelf I’m like “Ooh, what’s this fancy looking juice? That’s a nice looking bottle. Oh, it’s Kombucha, I would rather drink a cup of foamy dog vomit”
If you like yogurt it’s not that different. Both are ‘off’ and it’s just the cultural context that you grow up in that teaches which one is acceptable.
its like soda-lite, if people want probiotics, get in pill form more effective.
I worked at a natural grocery store in college. I was totally with OP at first, but many a free sample got me into it. If you drink enough of it, you start to enjoy it, much like beer or wine, it’s an acquired taste. There was a time where I was drinking 1/day. Now since I’m not around it all the time, I’ll get it once every few months, but I still enjoy it very much.
