mmm...   beer.

OK, I am a beer virgin here. I have taken sips of 3 or 4 different beers so far and they all taste bitter to me. Any suggestions on a beer that is not bitter? I usually drink vodka cranberry or long islands. THanks!

You drink cranberry juice but you think beer is bitter?

I know. pretty funny huh? Cranberry juice is sweet to me.

Long Islands are my FAVORITE. Taste great, get drunk fast.

I just like saying the word "kegerator".

A couple Christmases ago, I bought hubby a beer-making kit from this store in New Orleans called Brew Ha Ha (by far, the BEST store name I've ever heard!).  Despite all the trouble making it, his first and only batch was really good.  I know some girls who are very snobbish about drinking beer, but I like it.  I drink just about any kind except Guinness.

Try a wheat beer.

Well, that's because Guinness isn't beer. It's the NECTAR OF THE FREAKING GODS! It is mother's milk, it's a taste of the old sod, it is dearer to me than life itself.

I likes the beer.

yes, agreed.  that being said, it's best if you taste it first in heaven/Olympus:  Ireland.  every other Guinness pales in comparison.

i USED to think so also... then i moved to the land of beer and have found out how wonderful DUVEL is... i also like westmalle triples... and i tasted delerium this past weekend and was highly surprised at how well it went down... chimay is good also... damn belgium and all it's different beers!!!

There ya go...Guinness, simply the best...then comes Shiner Bock

<--------   It is the PERFECT recovery drink!!!   Enuff said!

Try an oatmeal stout with double fudge chocolate cake, or Chimay Blue with a steak!

If you like spicey food, like Thai, try a watery American style lager, or even a watery Mexican Lager. The hotter the food the better American/Mexican style Lagers taste with it.
