Clearly beer isn't for you. Have you tried whiskey?

theres this weird kid peter who was having a hard time drinking a beer, everyone was drinking one and he promised he would finish it so it wouldnt go to waste, he took a few sips and it was just a corona, he saw the lemon on the bottle but there was no lemon so he started stuffing cantaloupe into the bottle and sobbing to himself "I cant..I..I just cant OH GOD" forcing himself to drink it so he wouldnt be a disappointment.

it was funny

any type of alcohol is an acquired taste.
just drink it until you like it and become a babby alcoholic.
try some local micro brews, never drink anything with the word 'light' in the name, and stay the fuck away from any kind of fruity beer.
i also don't like canned beer unless i'm already drunk.

>mfw when I love beer, but absolutely adore belgian cherry beer!

<How do I make beer not taste so awful?

stupid question, depends on how you make it, and you didnt give any information about that now did you?

If it's unbearable, don't drink it.

OP, I can have any alcohol except beer. No idea why, it's just how it goes for some people.

Have an alternative. If you're at a pub, have cider, but not too much because its even worse for you than beer.

With your friends or at a club, do shots and if you want a regular drink have Cola or whatever you like with you.

try some mexican beers (corona, sol etc) with a slice of lime

this clearly isn't a craft beer thread

You can easily gaurintee yourself an enjoyable beer drinking experience by following a couple easy steps.

First, go out and get a good lager or lighter ale. Not a fucking lite beer, just something with a lower IBU(international bitterness unit). Bonus points if the IBU is listed on the package as it means the brewer is giving you information most big brew companies wouldn't. If it is, get something under 25 at a max. Closer to 10-15 will be better.

Next, stick 1-2 beers in the back of your fridge right next to the cooling thing where cold air enters. You're making sure that this is super cold so it is at an optimal refreshment level. Probably not the best temp for flavour but definitely the best for the mouth feel and your purpose of enjoying the thing.

Finally, do all of this on a hot ass day or mildly hot day, doesn't matter. The key it to totally deprive yourself of water. Seriously, get dehydrated, to the point of desperately wanting a cool and refreshing drink. Not just wanting, you have to need it. Then, instead of quenching your thirst with water, drink the beer. If it tastes bad, you haven't built up enough thirst and need to give yourself another hour of exercise in the sun. Put it in the fridge and do so. Once your truly thirsty as fuck that beer will taste as good as it can, and if you drink a lot of it then you'll begin to aquire a taste and enjoy it after a while.

that sounds like an awesome plan.

Dos Equis is the beer I first did this with. Didn't really enjoy beer when I was 18. Spent a month in Mexico with my uncle. We'd wake up at 9 and start working immediately without breakfast, food or water or coffee or anything. Then around noon we'd break for lunch and get a round of dos Equis. Cold ass beer with a wedge of lime on a hot ass day when your tired and hungry and thirsty is bliss. If you can't enjoy a beer like that even a little bit(or even tolorate it) then you probably won't ever like beer. If you can tolorate it then just do it repeatedly until you enjoy it. Shouldn't take long.

I believe you mean DRAFT beer.

You know all that Budweiser and Kokanee and shit?

Well that's like the fast food of beer. It'll get you drunk, but it's not that good.

Pic related, it's a fucking amazing beer.

>>3888888
Firstly congratulations on the digits. Secondly, you don't know what the fuck you're talking about. Please refrain from spearding false fucking information. DRAFT beer is beer ether served out of a keg, or if its in a bottle/can then it contains a widget, like Guinness.

Drink malt liquor instead

Wow you are so fucking retarded.

OP just get some beer and get drunk. I don't even know why you made this thread. Fucking retards these days can't do a single thing until they ask the internet how. I hope you get AIDS.

Easy, don't buy shitty light beers that fratfags drink. Either that or make it yourself and tailor it to your tastes.

I live in Qubec and tried Trois Pistoles for the first time last month after seeing it posted here all the time.

Gotta say, wasn't that impressed.

>>3888888

nice one

I always liked La Blanche De Chambly, personally. La Fin Du Monde and Don De Dieu are pretty good, too.

Unfortunately, I'm now relegated to drinking gluten-free beer...

Glutenberg sucks ass, btw. Terrible aftertaste. La Messagere is far more tolerable.

I live in Quebec, but come on Unibroue is a beer for 12 years old girls that don't like taste of beer, that's fucking juice man

>>3888713
as if someone who thinks beer tastes awful will like the taste of whiskey.

>>3889114

Fine, I'll bite. What do YOU drink, you big burly internet macho man?

You'd be hard pressed to find a 12 year old girl drinking alcohol that isn't Tornade, Poppers or something along those lines, though.

>>3889114
You're full of shit, dickweed.

Setting aside all the awful posts in this thread, OP, you really don't have to force yourself to enjoy beer. There isn't some kind of social obligation to do so. If you never find one you like, so be it.

Personally, Maudite was my "lightswitch" beer. From then on out I've been an absolute craft beer addict and I'm edging dangerously close to the 700 mark in things I've tried.

Beer's an acquired taste. You kind of have to teach yourself to pick up on the different flavors present. Also it depends on how you drink it, and which taste buds you're using.

For me, I only really got into it after trying Sam Adams Cream Stout. I always found I really liked their Blackberry Witbier and a few different pumpkin ales.

Most importantly, just find what you like. Don't let people tell you that you have shitty taste just because you like something.
