Magic Hat #9
Sam Adams Chocolate Bock (very expensive, but tastes like you're drinking a chocolate bar)
any of the Lindemans lambics. They tend to be sweeter than other breweries.

allagash white, or other similarly styled wit beers
pilsners
franziskaner hefeweizen or any good german hefe
Edenton Brewing Company bottles a light lager called Helles Angel that is pretty good

5/10/2006 4:51:10 PM

If you want a good German hefe-weizen, you need to try Weihenstephaner or Paulaner. I've seen Paulaner at Lowe's Foods and Harristeeter, and Weihenstephaner is available at Total Wine. Both are excellent.

down in florida we went to one of those "over 300 kinds of beers from all over the world"

and i worked my way across the netherlands, the czech republic, and central america all in one night

there was one good beer from each of the regions i hit, but of course i can't really remember which ones...

>.<

5/10/2006 4:58:34 PM

I hate beer, and this thread is making me want to go try a bunch of these.

damn you folks!

5/10/2006 5:10:03 PM

I generally don't like beer but I love Corona.

not liking the taste of something /= being scared of something


go ahead and requote it with beer

5/10/2006 6:41:17 PM

Serious question...

How much beer have you drank?? How long have you been drinking beer and saying..."this is nasty"??

5/10/2006 6:44:40 PM

tried it a few times, different brews, all tasted the same, when it was nasty i didnt drink anymore of it, drank liquor

have drunk liquor ever since

5/10/2006 6:49:29 PM

I can't remember specifically...but it took me a while to get use to the taste of beer.

It was probably a few months of drinking lite beer (miller, bud, busch) before I acquired a taste for it. From there I could go on to other beers. I think my first beer after the lite beers was Yuengling, then Harp, then Sam Adams, etc. The more you drink the more acceptable other beers become. I can drink just about any kind of beer now. Every now and then I'll try something new and be like..."bleh"....but it's not possible to like everything.

I would honestly just recommend to keep drinking beer...you will eventually get over it.

5/10/2006 6:55:11 PM

i think the problem is that when kids start drinking beer, they start with the cheap "get the job done" shit... icehouse, busch, milwaukee, what have you. and honestly, even your average bud, miller, coors type beers are shit.

if people just started out drinking decent beer, they prolly wouldn't develop such an aversion.


i would also like to add that learning to like beer is totally worth it, there are some very yummy brews out there

[Edited on May 10, 2006 at 6:58 PM. Reason : hmm, and i'm drinking a pbr...]

5/10/2006 6:56:50 PM

i cant even finish one beer...it just makes me gag

thats why i made this thread to get some ideas for other kinds that i can tolerate, then maybe be able to switch to the basic beers

I am of the opinion that "decent" or "good" beer is just too strong of a flavor for people to start with.

Cheep, lite beer has so little flavor that I think it's a good beer to start with (although really cheap beer can be nasty). I think Miller Lite is an easy beer to drink and maybe start off with...but that's just me.

5/10/2006 10:26:33 PM

my normal choices: dos equis, heineken, shiner bock, negra modelo, carolina blonde

more interesting ones: duck rabbit milk stout, sammy smith oatmeal stout / taddy porter

I wouldn't suggest Franziskaner to someone who isn't a beer person to start with...but that's just me.

5/10/2006 10:37:30 PM

i mean

it's light
it's fruity
is seems relatively accessible
most of the light beer drinking people i know enjoy it

5/11/2006 3:06:27 AM

on the comment made about hefeweizens, do you seriously like pyramid hefeweizen? i think that shit sucks ass. I think Shiner makes the best hefe, at least out of the ones i've tried. I've tried a couple others too, and i think they're better than Pyramid, but i still say Shiner beats all.

5/11/2006 5:51:32 AM

paulaner beats every hefe ive ever had, i think shiner's beers are mediocre at best

5/11/2006 12:51:27 PM

they had Shiner's hefe at mitch's last night for 2 bucks a bottle. It was ok, I like UFO's the best out of the ones ive tried. But im more of a IPA drinker.

5/11/2006 12:54:13 PM

i would say any wheat beer (hefe) would be good for someone that does like beer.. abita purble haze is a good one (raspberry flavored)

^^ paulaner makes a good hefe.. i also like weihenstephan and schneider weiss is good too..

[Edited on May 11, 2006 at 1:07 PM. Reason : ayinger also...]

5/11/2006 1:06:00 PM

Highland brewery is making an american wheat beer right now as their seasonal...it's very good, A+

5/11/2006 1:42:18 PM

just had #9 last night for the first time...almost sweet. Gonna try that out on some buddies who won't drink beer, but I'd recommend that for non-beer drinkers.

Anything on draft pretty much works for me, although you can keep the michelob ultra.

5/11/2006 2:07:24 PM

^^What?

Where did you find this, and what was it called?

5/11/2006 4:18:37 PM

Magic Hat #9...seems to be a new favorite of TWWers and for good reason.

They had it on draft at Back 9 on cary pkwy near high house in the peoples replublic of cary/morrisville/holly springs/new hill/chatham county/whatever has been annexed this week.

If I can get my non-beer drinking friends to drink this, it opens up a lot more options for places to go that don't serve liquor.

5/11/2006 5:04:37 PM

how can you not like beer?

at first it might not taste great, but after you associate that taste with being drunk and having a good time, it tastes like the sweet nectar of the Gods

5/11/2006 5:07:03 PM

try a wheat beer ... a good belgian is hoegarden, or some name like that

5/11/2006 11:48:15 PM

been drinking beer 4 years or so. and if it makes you feel any better, i don't drink (m)any domestics any more. i can only make it through a couple bud lights or miller lights before i just give up.

5/12/2006 12:06:58 AM

^ no doubt..... and any black and tans i love!

5/15/2006 3:20:39 AM

I used to absolutely hate beer and really couldn't drink it at all.

Then we got a kegerator in the apartment and I proceeded to get drunk off my ass while we were calibrating it and testing it out (in the name of science, of course), and I've had no problems with beer at all ever since.

So my advice to you is just to bite the bullet and suffer through enough beers to get you wasted, because afterwards it won't even phase you anymore.

5/15/2006 4:30:19 AM

Try Duck Rabbit's Milk Stout.
