Beer = Liquid Bread
Which is why the fact that I don't like it baffles me...I LOVE bread!!
Beer = Liquid Bread
perhaps. but one could suggest that what you prefer is barely beer at all.
Bud does that.
Actually, lots of beer use an adjunct of some kind and many use corn. Beeradvocate.com is a good source for investigating a brew.
yup. bud does. and to me it sucks. beers that use corn/rice tend to be pretty blaaaaaah if you're really into beer (if you simply prefer lighter, mild brews like SnP that's fine too).
me, i don't really like any pilsener beers. i'm pretty much an ale guy. on the flip side, i enjoy but limit porters and stouts, and really despise the taste of doppels.
it's not so much snobbery as it is simple experience/familiarity. we like what we like because our taste buds become cultivated in certain ways. first beer i brewed, like lots of people, was a brown ale. then came a pale ale. and then it just stuck.
Right. Which is why I have never understood how people can say they don't like beer. It's like saying you don't like...soup.
Some?! Something like 80% of beers made in the world have some form of adjunct and 3/4 of adjuncts beers are corn based.Only you and Unc would know that some beers have corn...my question is did he find out the easy or the hard way?
You don't like soup?
*scratches head
The buzz is just a lagniappe, a bonus. A flavorful beer is enjoyable in itself. It's not about social standing or impressing anybody. Minkey said it better . . . it's not snobbery, it's knowing what you like.They're right. Beer is supposed to get you drunk..not change your social class.
That would be awesome! It would be good to see you guys again. Let me know when and where (Chipley would be a good place - it's right off 10 and there are lots of places to meet up).Sharky - We will be traversing I-10 in a week or so. Would you like a meet up and perhaps a beer goodie bag?
Bingo!i'm sure this is someone's slogan...
"real beer is does not use rice as an adjunct."
Sounds like the Mellow Mushroom in Atlanta and Asheville, NC - one is about to open here at the beach, and I can't wait!I hadn't realized there were so many Rolling Rock fans on the board. I raise my green bottle to you.
I generally prefer draught to bottles or cans though, and lager or pilsner to heavier brews. I'm sure I've mentioned The Flying Saucer on here before. 75+ beers and ales on tap (heaven, I'm in heaven...). I first went to the one in Memphis but we make a few pilgrimages to the Nashville location per year for brats, kraut and beer.
Right. Which is why I have never understood how people can say they don't like beer. It's like saying you don't like...soup. All the different varieties are, well, so different. It's like wine, you taste a bunch until you find the kind you're into.

I've only ever tried the popular brands of beer and they all taste the same to me. Same with wine.

The popular brands of beer are all adjunct lagers. Lagers are frankly devoid of character and flavor. If you want to try other beers I could ask you a few questions about your palate that might help you to figure out what style of beer you may enjoy.
There are not too many things I like to drink.
My list of likes
1.Diet coke
2.Tea (orange pekoe only)
3.Strawberry milkshakes
4.Vodka and Ginger ale
5.Bailey's
6.Gatorade (all falvours)
7.Killer koolade
That's about it.
I'm just as fussy when it comes to food.
