Why is beer so disgusting?

[StormMistress]

Ok I’ve tried to like it I really have but every time I try the taste just puts me off! Not to mention the bloat is awful! I’m much more a sweet alcohol drinker personally which could be a factor.

Why do people like it? Is it a taste bud thing? If you like savoury more is it more appetising?

[Smoothing]

If you drink all types of alcohol like me, you will know test each type of alcohol had its purpose because even though all get you drunk, they all have different effects.

I prefer Beer when it's hot and also when I am exhausted and also for socialising with my friends at the pub.

I drink wine with food only and also usually on a date. Of course if I know I am going to be intimate, I don't drink at all. Because alcohol affects my performance.

I drink spirits very late at night before bed so I can sleep and I only drink spirits very rarely.

I like cocktails on a weekend by the beach when I have nothing to do in the late afternoon watching the sunset.

On most days Beer is my go to drink because it is low in alcohol percentage and I like the taste. When I first started drinking I never liked the taste and I didn't understand why my dad enjoyed it. Until my taste buds matured.

[Jaximus-Lion]

Of course it's a taste thing from a person to another. There is some sweet beers out there like desperados. I can't drink any beer because an allergy. Anyhow! Same thing goes for coffee, i drink it as it is black no sugar, no cream, just coffee. Tea too, no sugar no milk, just tea. And the bloated feeling! You need to let all the carbonation to come out and gave more taste and aroma, let the foam go wild. It's all a taste thing, for some it's EWWW, and for some it's UMMMMM

[BlueScorpio]

I haven't hot a clue, legit tastes like piss water. At this point I think people drink cause it's a monkey see monkey do type of thing. It's been in human culture for so long people just see it as a custom now. And because people know it can mess them up and help them unwind or forget life's problems, they consume even more.

[TrueConfection]

I think it's the flavor of the yeast. I can't stand beer either. The only beer I ever enjoyed was a Corona Lite that was ICE COLD, covered in lime juice and salt, and I was at an outdoor party when it was close to 100F. 😋

[Levin]

I have the opposite opinion. I hate all that sweet shite that people try and drink these days. The bitter taste is refreshing, especially a good lager. It's for men who have had a hard long day and actually done some work.

Sweet alcohol is absolutely disgusting.

[Lliam]

I'm not a big fan of beer, either. It's rarely a treat for me, although I might have one on occasion. I might have a Negro Modelo with Mexican food. I might enjoy a porter/stout on occasion if it's a good brand on tap.

I don't drink often, but when I do it's usually a decent red wine. I also like mixed cocktails. Mai tais are a favorite if they're made right. I like drinks with rum, gin or tequila.

[Curmudgeon]

That's not surprising. Wine coolers and various "sweet martinis" (normal martinis are awfully dry) were invented with younger ladies in mind.

And some beers ARE awfully bitter, pale ales for instance. All that said...

[DryGermanGuy]

It took me a looong time to find beer I actually liked, most brands were too malty/bitter for my taste.
I recommend to try Beck’s Gold, if you can get it in Australia.

[Phoenix98]

Beer goes good with certain things just like wine pairs with certain foods.

beer is usually best with bar food the best pairing I’ve found is beer with fried cheese curds and l think it was a Southwest sauce it was pretty fire.

also there are sweet beers.

[kylee2437]

Honestly I’m the same way as you but try sours! Sours don’t have that bitter taste that make beer taste bad.

[ArtemisSilver]

I agree. Have you tried apple or pear cider? It's a happy middle ground.

[StormMistress]

Yeah I actually quite liked them 🥰

[ArtemisSilver]

👍 right on

[FallonSamuels]

It’s so disgusting! Thank goodness someone shares the same opinion as me

[menina]

To me beer is the most disgusting alcoholic beverage! I also don't understand why some people like it. Even the smell of it grosses me out and makes me want to throw up.

[LiamSawyer]

I find an ice cold light beer very refreshing on a very hot summer day, no bloating from light beer drunk from a glass or mug. Drinking from a can just makes you swalliw a lot of airy foam that bloats you

[RolandCuthbert]

Try the beer in Germany or Austria.

It is delicious!

[AviatorTom]

Beer is what's called a binary drink. You either like it or you hate it. Don't feel bad, just drink what you like.

[ElementoP]

Such wisdom. Thanks Tom 👍

[Apple1996]

Ah I kind of like the taste of beer and all other alcohols tbh. I drink things more for the taste and cause I'm craving it rather then to get drunk

[U4ea0]

Beer is more of a guy's drink. Women don't seem to drink it to enjoy it like men do. Women seem to prefer cocktails and malt beverages. If you drink beer very cold, it doesn't taste as bad.

[PrincetonGirl97]

I don't like it either, but apparently it's an acquired taste like coffee

[EnglishEuropean]

I don't know, I've always liked coffee.

[TheoPfeifle]

I can't answer the why, because I don't find it disgusting. It's a pretty subjective question you're trying to ask. What about it is disgusting to you?

[maximumpower]

Its not disgusting to everyone.
Decision for you is simple - if you don't like it, then don't drink it.
Many others - including myself - aren't into "sweet alcohol" drinks.
To each his own.

[yucychan]

I don't know what you're talking about. I like beer but I love stout even more.

[Light909090]

Alcohol is made to Taste disgusting
It’s a way our bodies saying danger danger. If you have Logic and morals you won’t Delve into such evil.

[ElementoP]

You don't know evil

[Snsl153]

I agree, beer is pretty awful, but at least it isn't as bad as whiskey!

[BeMuse]

Good beer tastes great. Low quality beer tastes like rubbing alcohol mixed with toilet water.

[Nikki1989]

Beer is the only alcohol I can drink without throwing up. 🍻

[jshm2]

It is disgusting though.

It's an acquired taste you don't need.

[Sixgunsound]

It’s an acquired taste to be sure. Quality definitely matters.

[andreasderjuengere]

It's an ''insider drink''.

Nothing wrong in being an outsider, though :D

Cheers

[FunkyMonkee]

Even better: why do people like it so much? It's awful!!

[Anonymous]

Agree completely, cannot stand the taste and I wish I liked it because it's so much cheaper than other drinks.

[cth96190]

Because beer looks and smells like urine.
Here in Australia, the slang term for beer is ‘piss’.

[EnglishEuropean]

Probably because Australian beer is yellow, and tastes like piss.

[cth96190]

@EnglishEuropean
At least we drink it cold. 🤣
The British taste for warm beer and cold meat pies horrifies Australians.

[joeldalton]

Beer has thousands of different flavor profiles. I'm not sure how someone can make a blanket statement of "I don't like beer".

[Anonymous]

I never liked beer either. I tried German beer. Tastes all the same and disgusting to me. Not gonna be putting that liquid into my mouth.

I'm more of a cocktail and mulled wine guy.

[d3n0939]

I asked the same 3 questions myself about beer. However, some fruity flavored beers are nice

[EnglishEuropean]

Either you're drinking the wrong beer, or you haven't developed a taste for it. Women in general seem to prefer sweeter flavours.

[monkeynutts]

Stick to champagne, wine. Beer is great sometimes, if you like it.

[POSSY_HUNTER]

if you like alcohol drink , mix the beer with jagermeister , i bet u ll love it

[Anonymous]

I've never really liked beer. I have never really drank. I have tried alcoholic beverages. I think beer is very bitter. If I was a drinker I prefer Brandy, it is smooth when you drink.

[AydenHazor]

I don't know but I have to agree with you completely

[JohnK123]

It seems like it would be too thick and not good lol bc it’s like wheat or something

[driven159]

everyone has different tastes like some people like pizza others don't

[Lotusinmud]

Hell I’m Irish and even I think beer is nasty I prefer whiskey

[Shy_Steve]

I think it's all the yeast in it if you ask me, I don't like it either.

[Guanfei]

I honestly can't drink any alcohol, beer included.

[Deku2009]

Not every single flavor of alcohol is for everyone don’t feel bad

[dolemite89]

blasphemy, u just haven’t tried quality beer

[AngelOfLight258]

I think it beer is fermented piss.

[Nikki101977]

Cause it’s not It’s an acquired taste. Plus it’s relaxing.

[petitedollbabee]

I’ve never been a fan. It tastes like sour piss.

[Emilyis]

I dont like beer, IT's bitter to me.

[Xtendable]

Sweet red wine for me

[SunnyCaliGirl]

Because it’s literally fermented yeast

[ODC2112]

Because you have bad tastes.

[msc545]

It is an acquired taste.

[goodgirlsteven]

I dont like it either im a wine girl!

[LimitedBenefits101]

Women hate beer its always been like that

[abinavzene022]

Bcoz beer tastes almost like soaked yeast

[CubaPirate]

It isn't to me

[Jouth]

because you're a baby lol

[Wise4myage]

Not for me!

[OnlinePeanut22]

It not.

[SallyAims]

It is?
