What beer should I try?

When i drink on the weekends i usually just take shots or have mixed drinks, but i've recently decided to try drinking beer more frequently than shots? (had a few bad experiences with shots lol) ... I've had beer before and thought it was just awful. I know its an acquired taste so what beer should i start off with?

If you think beer is awful, there isn't much I could suggest to change that. You could pick something completely inoffensive, like Bug Light, which is essentially beer water.

I would suggest a local craft beer of some kind, preferably a wheat beer, which can often be mild. Stay away from most pale ales and IPAs, they'll be too strong for you.

I'd say to try some lagers before you move on to ales.  Beer is a very rewarding alcoholic beverage.  It is the most easily to control beverage without getting too drunk too quick.  Try out some German lagers or heffe weisse ( wheat beer) like weihenstephan or franziskaner.

Blue Moon. Samuel Adams Blackberry and Wheat Berry. I like those. Try it. BenedictArnold7

Kokanne is my favorite beer that I've tried.

new castle it's nice sweet beer. DO NOT i repeat. DO NOT drink crap like Budweiser, miller bud light. it is garbage and is nasty. They have lot s of ads and sell lots because they are cheap beer doesn't mean they are good

you should see if there is a beer outlet store or a big grocery store that sells beers by the bottle/can. at these stores they can for about a buck So it's nice to sample stuff without dropping couple bucks at a bar or buying  whole pack

sam adams wee heavy :)

But, sorry I can't be more specific. The beer I prefer is from my home state, Michigan. Founders, Bell's, Arbor brewing, **** Saugatuck brewing...etc. I have two half gallon jugs that I fill up at a local brewery too.

Dogfish 90 Minute IPA. I know it's 9 percent, but it really doesn't taste like it.-Karmum-

Apple Orchard was pretty good. I'd also suggest Samuel Adams. As other posters have stated, stay away from Budweiser.

I'll admit though, if I'm drinking a beer to just get drunk (since I like to think of Dogfish as a beer to drink to enjoy...but also to unwind), Bud Light Platnium is unfortunately a very good one...

[QUOTE="-Karmum-"] Really? It's amazing, I've bought it from work a few times and I've loved it each time. Granted, a 4-pack is like $10 and change with a 10 percent discount, but it's so good. It's pretty much 8 beers at an amazing quality. Doesn't taste like 9 percent at all, trust me. I don't even consider myself a heavyweight, but they're pretty easy to down, but you definitely feel it.

Beer to me has always tasted bad. There's plenty of nice tasting drinks that have the same effect, so I stick with those.

Start with Guinness. Doesn't get much better than that. megagene

Mm, Guinness. Unfortunately, or as of the last time I had Guinness, I actually prefer their Black Lager over the Stout or Draught.

Feels a bit weird to give recommendations and to be talking about this, since I'm not really a big beer or alcohol drinker and also since I'm technically underage. But oh the joys of working at a liquor store.

the best beer around

Blue Moon, Yuengling, Heineken, Dos Equis, Sam Adams and Sweetwater all good.

Sam Adams and Blue Moon are decent for beers you can typically find in most places. I like Weihenstephaner which is a Belgian white beer. Very smooth and tasty. I also like Magic Hat Circus Boy. Its a Hefeweizen which is an unfiltered beer. Its got a strong, hops flavor but mixed with fruit.

Drink responsibly:P

from what ive read, they have since toned down the amount of caffeine and such in Four Lokos. they used to be a hell of a lot worse.

Sam Adams. It's as good as any beer you can't pronounce or never heard of that has high ratings.
