Never had a beer I liked, and EVERY SINGLE TIME a friend will tell me what they like is actually good "you can't even taste the beer flavor, just the blank" and every single time, it tastes like beer with no hint of the blank.

Same. I gave up on beers years ago. I accept it's not worth my money anymore just in hopes of figuring out what people like about it. I still enjoy some wines (though relatively few and I wouldn't consider it an amazing taste). Mixed drinks are really where it's at. Can't go wrong with spiced rum and diet coke! There's also so many very delicious sugary mixed drinks, but I try to minimize those because it'd take like 500+ calories to get a buzz.

Have you tried krieks, sours or lambics?

Honestly, I couldn't tell you. I just try whatever a friend hands me, could be anything lol

They're in the section with meads here. I actually enjoy them and I hate pretty much all beers. Fruity lambics are pretty swell.

People's palates work differently. You might just have one that is more suitable for something else than beer, I guess.

Yeah, that sounds about right. Funnily, I'm also the only person I know that drinks tequila on occasion that doesn't have a horror story about it.

Beers just suck. Have fun with bitter bread flavored soda. I like my sugary/fruit drinks lol. They taste good and I get fucked up.

I used to hate beer too, but fruity wheat beers were my gateway.
