Poll: For you, was beer "love at first chug" or was it an "aquired" taste?

[The LIdless Eye]

I didn't really like beer until I tried Shiner. I've since branced out to other good beers, but I can't stand the megabrews (Bud, etc).

At first I didn't mind it - but I always wondered how the hell people could drink so much of it. After a while, I got used to it and now it's nothing big, but I'm not much of a beer person anyways when it comes to alcohol.

Ahh beer, that refreshing golden nectar of life, I do love thee so!!!

It was love at first chug. I remember my first beer as if it were yesterday--a sexy curvacious(sp?) bottle of Molson Brador giving me the "come hither" look, how could I resist such a temptress?

Right now my beer fridge is stocked with Bitburger(german draft--the wife likes it), Peroni, Labatt Blue, Sam Adams, various Atwater flavors (local Detroit micro-brew, good stuff), Genesee (Yuck!!! But I have relatives that visit often who like it, probably a direct result from my granny being nicknamed "fumble fingers" ), Red Stripe (ya mon).

Dammit, now I'm starting to miss my beer...........

It wasn't aquired taste because my first taste was Budwieser and I still hate it. I had to find a beer with a good taste to like it. There are some beers that I still don't like because they suck.

When I was in High School.. everyone drank 40oz's malt liquour.
Not really the best stuff there is.. definitely aquired taste.

However, when i got older, and could experiment by buying my own beer,
it was "love at first chug" with brands like Anchor Steam, Guinness,
and other quality brews.

Mixed feelings! Eventually ended up being in love, and looks like it will stay that way!

Beer took some getting used to.

I was a hard liquor mix man myself.

 

[FettsBabe]

I can't stand beer. However, I do like liquor.

It's an aquired taste, which I am still aquiring....
