    No don't like the taste of it at all, but a nice pint of cider does the trick.

    It's an acquired taste.
    Like the first time you had curry.
    Coffee would be the same I'd say...

    Can't stand beer. At all. Drank half a bottle of miller a few months ago and I actually felt like throwing up. Obviously I haven't tried all the beer under the sun, but I'm pretty sure I don't like beer in general.

    In short - no, it's bleeedin' nasty, I think.

    Nope, partially why I don't drink much at all.

    Fridge temp should be perfect for beer unless it's awful. :p


    I like it ice cold. Like when you take a slug of ice cold beer from a bottle & the back of your throat doesn't know what has happened & your teeth actually tremble.
    Heaven.

    Yes, and there is some fantastic beers being created by small craft breweries in Ireland at the moment.

    O'Hara's Pale Ale being one of the very best.

    Drink cider myself :D

    Nothing like ye old dry cider (the cloudy stuff), or the French stuff.

    It ain't sweet, but it does taste nice.

    Nothing better than a nice beer.
    Just think of a nice beer you might have at the bar in Dublin Airport going on holiday.

    I could never get the taste for beer, it just leaves a horrible taste in my mouth and disagrees with my stomach, and it's not from the lack of trying, I've tried most beers you can get here and when abroad I always taste the boyfriends to see if I've magically converted.

    I'd love to love beer :(

    But you can't beat a cold glass of white, or a lovely Bulmers, or a tasty cocktail, or a Bacardi with coke, or a hot Jameson or a sweet morgans spiced with coke. Mmmmmm.

    Only if it's GOOD beer. Most of the stuff you get on tap in bars here is not fit for cattle, never mind people. I remember someone bought me a Budweiser without talking to me first, but I could only get through a few sips before my taste buds went on strike and asked my brain "WTF?!?". :rolleyes:

    Context is also important. For example, when I was visiting friends in Houston a couple of years ago, I knew I was going to be helping out in the garden, so I got a six pack of St. Arnold's Fancy Lawnmower when we were out shopping. It wasn't expensive at all, but it's won a few awards, and the effect after a few hours working in 30C+ heat ... yowsa! :D

    You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.

    Yeah, my nephew only drinks this. I had him over for his 18th birthday and he was drinking that stuff. Far too sweet.

    Me like beer though.

    Cider that's not sweet?

    The reason I hate Bulmers so much is because it's so sweet.
    Might try this stuff.

    Absolutely love the stuff. Agreed some are poorer than others, cant stand bud or coors light. Was in poland a few years back and some of the stuff they have is great. Most of it you can get over here now. Tyskie, zywiec, warka. All lovely. I love the stuff you get in the Chinese too - Tsingtao. It's the only beer I can drink with food.

    I love the taste of beer. I remember not liking it for a while when I first started drinking but it must have grown on me.

    Weirdly though, I prefer cheap beer. I can't stand Budweiser, Carlsberg or Coors and I'm not a big fan of Miller, Corona or Heineken (although the ice cold one is alright) but I absolutely love Stella and Bavaria. I've tried a load of the fancy, expensive foreign beers and a good few Irish beers and while I've found lots of them I like I've never found any I'd pick over those two.

    A lot of people seem to think I'm joking when I say I like Bavaria, and they say they only drink it because it's cheap, so I must have weird tastebuds or something.

    There isn't much better than a good beer on a warm day. As mentioned previously try some of Belgiums finest.

    I really like the more mainstream pale beers like Erdinger, ones you'd get in most bars and offos.

    Cheap lager is alright for the first few swigs but it turns to **** pretty quickly, and it's pure swill by the time you get to the end.

    The cloudy stuff is the best, just like with apple juice. And I think it's good that it's not sweet, the commercial ones can be way too sickly.

    Yep, it's great. Much better than soft drinks, and I've had a hangover from drinkng Lucozade all night before.

    Brooklyn Lager is one I've just tried recently and very nice it is too.
