Don't you like Beer?!?

[Blackthorne]

However beer tastes like sweaty balls and urine.

Oh, man!  You've tasted Sweaty balls and urine?  Bummer!


I like beer.  I do.  I don't often drink it to quench my thirst, but as an offhand social drink, it's not bad.  It doesn't get you drunk too quickly, and one can casually drink it - not like when I would do shots and end up drunker than sin.

I've never been able to have more than a sip of beer- or most alcoholic drinks, for that matter.Ã,  I do, however, like to drink mead when I can get my hands on it.

Mmmmm... viking booze...

Trafalgar Brewery makes a very nice Raspberry Mead, and their blueberry isn't bad either.  Most of the time, though, you can only get mead from homebrewers.

You have too, through beer. You don't have to make fun of us just because you happen to LIKE the taste of sweaty balls and urine.

I do drink beer. The taste isn't great, but it's pleasant enough, and no-one drinks beer in large quantities just to appreciate the flavour, anyway

Most lagers taste alright to me, but Foster's just has a strange, metalic taste that I dislike. I'll only drink Foster's if it's free, which it is quite frequently, since if you go to a 'free drinks all night' kind of deal, it's invariably Foster's they're serving.

I also drink various British bitters (which, according to CJ means I'm an old man).

Out of interest, is XXXX a real Australian brand, or is it, like Foster's, merely pretending to be a genuine Oz export?

Beer is ok, but I've got a high alcohol tolence, so it doesnt do much for me.

... And Wine Coolers give me the shits.

[Domino]

I hate the taste of most beers.Ã,  I usually drink beer to help me relax after a long day of work, and it does a really good job.

If i'm looking for beer with a good taste, i would have to choose Corona or Samuel Adams.Ã,  Otherwise, most beers do taste like piss, even though i've never tasted piss.

[Renal Shutdown]

Beers I'll drink (in no particular order).
Budweiser. Ã, It's usually panned, but for some reason I can drink it in large quantities. Ã, Probly because a local off license does 20 bottles for £10. Ã, I think I've bought 80% of their stock.
Lowenbrau. Ã, "Lion-Brew". Ã, Some Bavarian beer that gets me wrecked within three cans.
XXXX. Ã, Usually the cheapest beer in an establishment I frequent.
Carlsberg/Carlsberg Export. Ã, Usually my first choice, as it's a pretty stable choice. Ã, It's not fantastic, but it's rarely crap. Ã, By crap, I mean where it's nearing the bottom of the barrel, and you end up drinking bilge.
San Miguel. Ã, A nice, refreshing beer. Ã, Good if the sun's out.
Cobra/Tiger. Ã, One is middle-eastern, one is Indian. Ã, Both are nice, warm flavours. Ã, Good for drinking in restaurants with late licenses.
Guinness/Caffreys. Ã, Good if I don't want to get drunk.

Beers I avoid.
Carling. Ã, An english lager, tastes flat after a few moments. Ã, Usually tastes watered down.
Fosters Amber. Ã, Looks and tastes like someone's pleasured themself into a pint. Ã, It flopped.
Ales and Bitters. Ã, They taste ok, but not in vast quantities. Ã, I often find them to be sickly.

Borderline.
Stella Artois. Ã, The beer of wife-beaters. Ã, Tastes dodgy, but will eff you up.
Fosters. Ã, I don't like the taste, but it's usually cheap.
Heineken. Ã, Too weak to do much, but refreshing.

Other Drinks.

Cider.
Sometimes. Ã, It's usually really cheap, volume-wise.
White Wine.
I often avoid it, as most are too sweet. Ã, "Labrini" is a cheap option, if you want to get trashed over a long period.
Red Wine.
Only if I want to get really drunk, usually after getting merry on something else.
Vodka.
Always with a mixer, usually combined with a night of other drinks.
Tequila.
With salt and lemon.. Ã, or by personal fave: salt, tequila and lemonade in a glass, napkin on top, bang glass on table twice then knock.
"Flatliner".
Sembuca and Vodka in a shot glass, then add tabasco. Ã, Due to the weights of the liquids, you get a red line across the middle of the drink, with the rest clear. Ã, I always add far too much tabasco for others to handle it, tho.
"White Russian".
Milk, vodka, Kahlua. Ã, (Not Tia Maria). Ã, Tastes like sweeties.
Scotch/Whiskey.
Never. Ã, It's too smooth, it makes me want to gag. Ã, Even with a mixer. Ã, I always choose:
Kentucky Bourbon.
A la Jim Beam. Ã, Neat. Ã, Napalm in a glass.

Here endeth the lesson.

XXXX (pronounced 4 X) is a real beer, and is the most popular beer in Queensland, but it's rarely found outside that state for a good reason, ergo, it's horrible.

I'm drinking a Cascade Pale Ale right now, I like it.

I tend to buy Amstel alot. it's made by Heinekken, but I like the taste better. The main reason I buy it is it''s quite cheap, although it still tastes, and has a good hoppy light feel about it, which all light beers should have, but they almost all lack. And you need lighter beers in our summers, which means I can't drink as much as the darker brews I naturally prefer.

I should mention I almost only drink beer for the taste, and I rarely get drunk anymore. It's an aquired taste, but almost everything in the world that isn't just sugar or salt is as well.

well, sweaty balls and urine is and aquired taste, for sure!

Amstel is foul. When I went to Greek on a lads' holiday last year they were selling crates of 24 for about â,¬10, which is damn cheap, so it was pretty much all we drank for two weeks apart from insane cocktails whilst out at night. Maybe it was just the extreme heat and poor storage that turned the beer off (but you live in Australia, so surely you'd experience the same thing...), or maybe you just have a nicer Amstel where you are. Most likely though is that you just have no taste.

Interesting facts about beer:
- Why is beer so bitter?
+Because of the hops.
-Why the hops?
+Long story: Un-bittered beer is so sweet that you can't possibly drink it. So, in the middle ages, people sought for substances to make beer bitter. Those substances included among others:  hemp (? -> Cannabis), ground cattle hooves and bile. Needless to say that the latter two are quite disgusting.
With hemp however there was another problem: monks used beer to survive their fast before easter, and cannabis is a sexual stimulant. So, imagine a house full of men who have sworn vows of chastity and drink up to eight litres (no joke! History!) of an alcoholic aphrodisiac EVERY DAY FOR 40 DAYS IN A ROW!!!
Thankfully someone found out that hops make beer bitter and suppress sexual desire...

So: If you want  to use alcohol as seduction aid, wine's better than beer...

Fortunately the de-stimulating effect is not permanent!

We have refrigeration in my country.

[Pesty]

We have refrigeration in my country.

Hah! Don't make me laugh. We all know you don't have electricity in Australia. You bury your beer in the ground to keep it cool and use potatoes to power your computer.

[shbaz]

Don't mock potato power, it's quick, easy, and environmentally friendly. Just poke two nails of different metals (example: copper and zinc) and boom, electricity. About 400 of those might power a computer, with a DC->AC converter. For a little while.

[Mephistophilis]

so that's how the Irish survive....
and I don't believe Hemp and cannabis are quite the same thing, from the same plant but not the same part, otherwise you'd get a bunch of stoners away trying to smoke jumpers and ropes.

[Pumaman]

Just wait for CJ to respond, he'll say something about Fosters and then say how great it is and then say that AGA is stupid or something.

Well you've spoiled it now ._.
