Beer

[Anonymous No.5533560]

What is beer supposed to taste like? I usually like drinking bitter things like coffee but this is on a whole other level. It seriously feels like I am drinking piss. Am I drinking the wrong Beer or something? I tried Sam Adams and Blue Moon. I liked Blue moon more than sam adams. I want to know more about this universally loved drink

It's an acquired taste.

[Anonymous No.5533573]

People love beer because it's a drug, you drink it to become intoxicated, not because you're thirsty...it actually dehydrates you, so it's not much of a beverage for actual thirst quenching. Some people say they drink it for taste, but i call BS and think they're just being hipsters. I love beer and drink a shitload of it every day for years, and I still think it tastes like piss, even the "good" stuff. It's kind of like how pizza can only get "worse" but is never really bad...beer can get a little "better", but it's still never really good.

[Anonymous No.5533575]

That's an interesting way to put it actually and it makes sense to me.

[Anonymous No.5533580]

Beer is a very subjective thing. The reason people call it an acquired taste is not just because it is bitter, but also because you have to try a wide variety of styles and brews before you find one that appeals to you. Try lambics first.

[Anonymous No.5533582]

>>5533573
So just because you don't like beer, no one can genuinly like beer?
To throw your own example back at you, I've never been a huge fan of pizza. Some are decent and homemade pizzas or fancypants pizzas at certain restaurants can be real good but your regular, bought circle of fat and turkish sweat? Never cought my fancy.

A lot of this.
I've drank many, many different kinds and types of beer, and there aren't too many of them that I can honestly say I went "Hey this tastes great! I'm gonna drink more just for the taste itself!"
You drink to get drunk.

Now, thats not to say they 'all' taste like piss and bitterness and smell awful.
Pic very related.
This is Gulden Draak. A sneaky little brew from Belgium who happens to be my favorite beer,
...and it doesn't even taste like a goddamn beer. It tastes and smells dark and fruity, like a really thick fruit juice that warms your throat on the way down.
The 'sneaky' part is that you can't even tell its an alcoholic beverage until you're already falling back off your stool, flat on your ass and vomiting everywhere.

If you're really wanting to get into beer, I say keep trying. Try different things. You'll eventually find one that just 'clicks' with you.

[Anonymous No.5533599]

>>5533560
Beers, and especially microbrews, run the gamut from 15% ABV stouts that look like road tar and taste like turkish coffee and liquid smoke to <2% ABV table beers that taste like carbonated water with a few drops of fruit juice and angostura bitters mixed in - and are consumed at pretty much the same rate. The darker beers with stronger flavors are generally consumed on their own and the lighter beers are selected to accompany food or for situations where one wants to drink but not get drunk.

I personally prefer microbrewed beers with herbs, fruit juices, etc. for interesting flavors for when I want something refreshing or lighter beers to go with food, myself; when I drink to get inebriated I choose liquor.

I'm more into the thick 'heady' sort of brews like Guinness, and a lot of beers from Germany I can't even fucking spell or pronounce. (They know how to make a goddamn brew)
I call them 'steak beers', because it tastes like you can almost chew it as you're drinking, and it goes so great with food.
If I want 'fruity', i'll just get wine instead.

This. My advice to you, dear OP, is to try some darker beers and stouts. A lot of them will actually use coffee in the brew and that shit is the bomb. Being a Canadafag I like Half Pint's Stir Stick Stout and Mill Street's Coffee Porter. If you can track those down I bet you'd like 'em.

Complete horse shit. If you've genuinely been drinking for years, it tastes much better than piss. That's literally the exact way people who are JUST getting into beers describe it as tasting.

Then again, maybe your pallet is completely fucked, which is pretty standard for the average American.

>What is beer supposed to taste like?

1. Go to your local brew pub, which usually have sample "platters" with several small glasses
of different beers and see which one you like the best.

2. IMPORTANT PART: You'll be getting drunk, so write down which ones you liked and which
sucked, so that next time you're there (or shopping for beer) you'll remember what kinda beers
appeal to your taste.

3. Come back to /ck/ armed with this knowledge and behave like a pretentious beer snob, telling
others that they're pleb faggets for drinking [ X kinda beer ] instead of [ Y kinda beer ].

[Anonymous No.5533864]

>all these pleb responses
>implying beer doesn't taste good

I love beer and love the taste of it, especially on a hot summer day. Here's what I've learned about beers over the years.

Beer is best appreciated ice cold. Many people (beer snobs in particular) will disagree and say that the cold actually hinders the true taste of the beer. In my opinion warm beer is generally just too sour and rancid tasting to enjoy. It may be different for you OP. If you don't like ice cold beer let it sit at room temp for a while longer.

There is a big difference between cheap college party beers and more pricey quality brews. Natty Lite, Keystone, Busch Lite, etc all taste like shit because they're cheap. If you want to acquire a taste for beer stay away from the poor quality ones.

Also some people prefer dark beers and others prefer light beers. Dark beers generally sit heavier in the stomach, are much more bitter, and use a lot of spices. Light beers on the other hand are smooth and crisp, though they generally have less unique flavors to them.

Also you might try some flavored beers. My favorite beer during the Summer is always Leinenkugel's Summer Shandy. Very refreshing and has a great lemonade taste. Red's Apple and Strawberry Ales are really popular right now but I'm not a fan of either.

Bullshit. You can definitely taste the alcohol in Gulden Draak (at over 10% ABV, I'd be surprised if you couldn't). It's just that the beer is so loaded with delicious flavor that you don't really care. That throat-warming sensation? That's the alcohol. There are some (though not many) wines that aren't as strong. It is one of my favorites, though, I drink a bottle or two every Christmas.

When Americuns say light beer it means low carb not low alcohol.

[Anonymous No.5534422]

>>5534413
Reducing the calories still results in a loss or limiting of alcohol content. Usually it's not a significant loss because most original versions they make light versions of are 5% or less ABV anyway, but there IS a loss. You're going to have to drink a LOT of light beer VERY quickly to get drunk. Not cost effective. And they taste like shit also. I'd much rather go for an ice beer if I want to get drunk and have a bad time doing it.

[Anonymous No.5534439]

>>5534413
light beer refers to the calories, and in order to reduce the calories (as well as carbs) it necessarily has to have less alcohol than the real thing as both the amount of alcohol and the amount of residual carbs are correlated to the amount of malt used (and extra bonus for the giant breweries, using less malt means it costs less to make as it is more water)

3. Claiming no one really likes beer is absolute horse shit. I've since started drinking several craft beers, ales etc, and brewing my own, and can tell you straight up I love beer. That said I very rarely get drunk. Maybe once a month.

Other phenolics sometimes found in Weissbiers evoke medicinal or smoky sensations. The bittering level of most Weissbiers is close to 15 International Bitterness Units, a very low level.

i had a window of about 2 years where I liked beer but now it all tastes like shit. get some good liquor and learn to make your own drinks

My sister buys beer all the time, so I always have it. I like it to get a buzz, but I find it hard to even swallow.

I've had Bud Light, Rolling Rock, Sam Adams(like 6 different kinds), Blue Moon, Shock Top, and a few others I don't even know the name of.

All of them tasted pretty bad. Sam Adams Fall ones were the only ones that tasted at all decent.

Depends on whether or not you're eating anything with it.
For just-beer beers, I like porters and reds. Dry ciders are good if you prefer sweeter drinks.
For food beers, a good IPA or lager can compliment fried foods. Why not swing by a local beer market and taste a few flavors?

This guy is right. I didn't start drinking beer until I was 22. Before that I only drank hard liquor and hated beer. It all comes down to forcing yourself to drink the stuff. Eventually you start to enjoy it and then you find yourself wanting to try every beer out there.

Im with OP. every beer i have tried so far tastes like permanent marker ink, even if the smell was amazing before i sipped. what should i try, to try to develop my palate for it?

Sounds like your drinking a lot of local beers (though I'm not too knowledgeable on American beer, could be wrong here), try branching out to imported beers.
Theirs the obvious ones like Corona (Mexico), Heineken (The Netherlands) and Guiness (Ireland). I personally like Asahi (Japanese), though when I was actually in Japan I mostly drank Kirin (which I found better, but is much harder to find outside Japan. You could buy 500ml cans of it from the millions of vending machines everywhere, not so everywhere else).

Though really, just keep trying new beers. The liquor shop I go to typically has random beers on sale, buying whatever happens to be on sale has taught me that Carlsberg is decent and Fosters is piss.

There isn't enough alcohol in beer to dehydrate you.

a good wheat beer or framboise is a good starter

use framboise beer (a light bubbly fruity beer) to mix into other beers. Adjust the ratio as you start to find it too sweet. Eventually you'll be drinking it with just a splash and then not at all.

>forcing yourself to drink
or you could acknowledge that all beers are completely different and coors tastes nothing like sierra nevada which is nothing like a lambic

Did you read the rest of what I wrote? If someone things beer taste bad all beer is going to taste bad. It's just a matter of drinking enough till you can appreciate the different kinds of beer out there.
