I never liked beer, growing up. That being said, I never cared for liquor either. I cannot stand the bitterness, or the heavy carbonation.

I tried all sorts of good beers, bad beers, etc and simply never understood the point. I had/have no desire to be drunk or in any sort of altered mood, so there was no incentive for me.

In recent years (idk maybe because I'm getting old lol) I started to casually try beer here and there with friends and such, at outtings and such.

What I discovered is I do not like "beer" as a whole, but there are specific beers I really enjoy. There's maybe only 2-3 beers out of the hundreds I've tried which I find taste good, and actively will enjoy.
