Seriously though, have you had Alt? That's very nice stuff too. A bit like a British mild but very different.

Try beef in Theakston's Old Peculier.

My mum has used Manns in the past (it's well known as a cooking beer), but it's far, far too sweet for that IMO. Still don't mind the beer though.

Prefer Black Velvet personally - Guinness and Strongbow. But it's sweet.

And anyway, I prefer the Nigerian version of Guinness to the regular one. It's much stronger, sweeter and roastier.

Does it smell like vomit to you as well?

Bad beer can smell like vinegar, but when on form it is divine.

If you like raspberries, there are some lovely raspberry beers out there.

My favourite is by Saltaire, and it's called Raspberry Blonde (4%). It's very popular with the women too.

I like beer; particularly Mexican beer (Corona, Sol, etc). But I haven't really been drinking it much in the past 10 years due to fitness bodybuilding being more important to me than drinking a cold beer.

When somebody offers me one, I say "I'd love to, but I already have a sixpack under my shirt, and I can't have it there if I drink it".

That will lead to some laughs about fulfilling prejudices, about certain countries, but yes: Around here "Bier-schnitzel" is very popular. May sound weird, but is not so much different from cooking with wine-based sauces. ^^

I did something like that 1ce. After I graduated high-school I went to this training center for people with low-vision to learn life skills(I was born with a rare low vision disorder) & one of the classes was kind of a home-ech thing but it was mostly cooking. We used beer 1ce for some kind of fry stuff. There was a little left & I asked if I could drink the rest instead of the teacher throwing it out like she said she was going to. We weren't supposed to be drinking there but she let sense there wasn't much left

I've only been drinking beer for the last two years or so. I prefer them with mild bitterness. Light coloured lagers and pilseners seem to be my go to beers.
You can adjust yourself to the taste if you start with a very mild beer. I first started on a honey wheat beer, then I found the asian beers like Kirin, TsingTao and Bingtang. I was gonna work [b]my way up the bitterness scale but I can't get past the taste the darker they get.

I

t's all the same kirin is smoother that's about it really.

try a lambic if you want to challenge yourself.

you confuse acrid with bitter (hops)

I don't like beer either. If I want to turn into jelly I just drink 2-3 shots of vodka.

Better than sipping on that gross beer. Vegemite tastes good though, kinda like beer paste you spread on buttered toast. Foreigners don't know what they're missing out on.

cant stand vegemite it tastes like vb , worst beer in the world probably one of the few beers I can not drink xxxx being the other.

Most of the meds I'm on can potentially interact with alcohol so it's probably good I very seldom drink thou I was OK having a couple beers last xMas & I was on most all the meds I'm on now. I still need to be careful thou & I am because I don't drink alcohol fast & only drink a couple beers within a few hours.
