Why does anyone like beer? I know, different strokes.

[raccoon]

But I never liked it. Even in my drinking days, I never did.

and I really liked the taste. I like malty flavors.

6. Dogfish Head: World Wide Stout is my all time fav .

7. If all you have ever tried is that mass-market piss-water, it's no wonder.

No flavor, no kick, nothing. It's formulated to appeal to the undiscerning among us, and there are a lot of them.

The best beers, IMO, are small-batch craft beers. There are a million different flavors, textures, consistencies, etc.

8. Oskar Blues Ten Fidy. or Alesmith Speedway Stout.

Joy in a glass, slowly sipped.

9. I have yet to meet a beer I didn't like! Especially on a hot day or with spicy food!

10. Because it's awesome!

I love beer.

11. I quit the drink 38 years ago, but

loved the taste of beer. First one of the day... mmmmm. Henry Weinhards was my brew. Then, Oranjeboom for awhile.

12. I tend to do pairings with food when I drink.

Beer works with most types of American food, such as hamburgers, tube meats of various kinds, anything German, or heavy on the potato/cheese/cabbage spectrum like Irish food. Anything battered and fried as well.

Wine works with anything more delicate/subtle, like baked or sauteed fish or seafood, chicken cooked most ways, lighter food like big salads.

Saki for Japanese food, sometimes with other Asian cuisines, except Indian food (which clobbers anything less pungent than port wine or stout).

If I'm just 'having a drink', like at a bar gathering, it's usually bourbon. Hopefully, there's snacks, lol.

13. All alcohol is gross to me.

I’m naturally straight-edge, but I tasted a lot of things out of curiosity while working in the beverage retail industry and it all tasted nasty.

[juxtaposed]

14. beer is a loaf of bread if drunk in full

[dewsgirl]

15. I like apple cider beer, more than regular beer.

I like mixed drinks on the rare occasion I drink.

16. Same here

I will have one once in a great while, but not a fan of the barley pops.

18. The only ones I drink

say "beer" on the label. I think I'd give up water before I give up beer.
