How can anyone drink soda instead of beer?

[Zeze]

soda = carbonated
beer = not

/thread

uh..

If beer wasn't carbonated, it would just taste like a crappy juice.

What is that 'kssstt' sound when you open a can/bottle of beer?



I do understand OP. I love me beer, but a nice cold crisp and sweet taste of coke is perfect.

Soda pairs infinitely better with chips and fast food.

Beer is great with real sit-down burgers and hot junk food (bar food like fries, wings, etc).

I like a nice birch/root beer with my meals but otherwise avoid coke etc... type sodas.

i tried a birch root beer for the first time recently. i think it was made with chickory root. i did not like it. i still prefer IBC above all other root beers.

When you say soda, do you mean pop?

They do. Soda is what peasants call it though, and most on this forum are peasants.

I don't know, I figure it was the yeast doing it's magic.

No, soda.

I agree with this for sure.

I don't really like beer with any food. I don't like the way it changes the taste, and how filling it can be.

Americans treat beer as being sinful, so you don't see it widely available. You might not realize it due to commercial deluge, but there's a clear separation. Beer is the whore you go to before going home to the wife, and it never gets mentioned in polite company.

Why drink beer when you can mix pop with hard liquor?

 

[gorb]

I like soda and I like beer.

 

[NikolaeVarius]

I've never liked a beer I've tried, and I've tried about 20 different variants.

Soda or moonshine is how I roll.

Try some fresh paella with a Cruzcampo. If you don't like that then there is no hope for you and you have no taste buds.

Cruzcampo is terrible. Im having tempranillo or vermouth with paella.

There are only a handful of countries that give a rats ass about brewing and spain isnt one.

No way, beer goes best with all salty foods; so much more refreshing. Of course I don't really like pop/soda of any kind.

Ive never really thought highballs are a good dinner accompaniment.

They are if you are an alcoholic.

Depends who your dinner company is.

No, soda.

You mean like club soda? Or just plain old carbinated water? That stuff is blah! plain water is much better. Or, pop is much better. That said, coffee, tea, or beer are much much better.

I like good plain seltzer(not club soda). Club soda tastes good mixed with Southern Comfort. It's kind of like a 7&7, without the unbearable sweetness.

Thread winner.

IBC makes the Cadillac of cream sodas.

Huh? Where do you live that beer is scarce? I want to avoid that place, wherever it is.

Agreed. Never heard of such a thing.

[torpid]

Light beers are not worth drinking and there are certainly NOT as sweet as sodas. Most foods do not benefit from soda as an accompaniment. More benefit from plain old carbonated water.

Probably in some ultra conservative redneck area, places where buisnesses have to close sunday morning so that everyone goes to church.

Also interestingly the same place where most of the moonshine in this country is exported from.
