I instantly acquired a taste for beer when I drank some Alexander Keith's while munching on mixed nuts. It was a heavenly combination.

Now, my favourite beer is this "d'Achouffe" strong ale, which I affectionately call "Gnome beer" (due to its having a gnome on the label). Dutch recipe, I think, but brewed semi-locally. Lovely stuff.

Honestly, that wouldn't be the first thing to come to mind.  The worst thing is prollyyyyy some other beer.  Like that shitty flowery beer that Kazz likes so much.  God, it tastes like perfume.  Who the fuck wants to drink a bottle of perfume?

Lienenkugel's Sunset Wheat.  It's brewed with coriander (cilantro).

:nyoro~n: I'm taking down notes for what to try next time I see them. If any of you gives me a bad recommendation, know that your death will not be swift.

Blue Moon makes fairly gentle beers. Good for people to start up on.

I usually check Beer Advocate if I want to try something new. I mention this only to help some of you poor lost souls.

I don't like beer, but I do like blue moon on tap.  That's it.

Oddly enough, you are the third woman I've heard say this. Blue Moon isn't bad, but it's not like it's some holy graal of estro-beers... as far as I know?
On Long Island Blue Moon is apparently the end-all be-all. Anywhere else I go when people want 'good beer' (read: not just something you can get enough of to get a house full of people sloshed for under $40) they usually go Guinness or Heineken, here it's all about Blue Moon, or Blue Point. People here like blue.

Long Island has a number of micro breweries and brewhouses. Some of the ones in the city also make some mean drink, like Fat Dog.

Our 'budweiser' around here is a fantastic german drink. the Optimator. A spatan produced dopplebock that is cheap, yet thick and delicious. A kingly brew, for a paupers price (well, not quite, but still pretty cheap).

Blue Moon is a lemony beer.  I'm a fan.  A restaurant here used to have it on draft, but they replaced it with Tuckerman's.  I guess I can't complain.

I never drink alcohol, not for taste reasons, but on account of a sort of personal ascetism. I don't mind when alcohol is part of food though, as long as it's not too obvious about itself. I can have my mother's boeuf bourguignon with wine sauce and like it, but I had some artisanal beer-and-cheese sausage last week that was just so overwhelmed with the stuff that it killed the taste of the meat and spices.

I don't think I can ever stop hating you for living in a province where they know what real food is like.  :THATWAY:

Six million people in the greater Toronto area and all we can do is bring bland culinary failure to its global apex.  :facepalm:

Haha, yeah, I guess I'm fortunate. I mean, I complained about that sausage, but the week before I got some lemon-and-pepper sausage off the same guy and it was heavenly. He works out of a IGA but that's only because he can't afford his own shop.

You know how some people get a thrill from buying car parts and the vendor's all "this isn't even street legal yet", or from buying drugs from a dealer who's all "this is some primo shit from my personal stash, I guarantee it'll make you the highest guy in town"? I get it from seeing an enthusiastic cook return from the back of the store carrying a package of unlabeled handmade sausage, telling me "I'm not even technically allowed to sell it because I forgot to print the ingredients on the label, but I won't make a fuss if you don't". Keep on rockin' ZedPower.

It's funny. We must have one of the highest immigrant populatons of any city on the planet, you'd think that would mean a cosmic-level ethnic food victory, but no! When anyone opens a restaurant in Toronto, they mostly get some kind of disease that involves a: trying to skimp on ingredients and preparation to the point where dog food becomes a decent comparision, or b: trying to be high-end 'artistic' which means you basically get a spoonful of food at a ridiculous price - and the clincher is that it still doesn't taste very good. High-end chefs in Toronto seem to have put a premium on being 'interesting' rather than being damn good cooks.

I exaggerate somewhat, I know a very small number of extremely excellent places at reasonable prices*, but this was only through very long and ardous exploration. As for truly awesome grocers, you can forget it. I find it extraordinarily depressing that the finest cheese selection in the city is at Whole Foods, and I have yet to find a truly awesome butcher shop (I could murder for a kingly fish market!). 

It's not that the food here is completely horrible, but you go somehere else like the states or Quebec and the food just tastes better and you see what you're missing. Then you go home and WORLD OF PAIN. It's like living at a house where they use margarine and that's all you've ever known. But then you go somewhere where they cook with real butter and you just realize.

*The best victory I've had was finding is the all-you-can-eat Sushi place that Samuel L Jackson goes to. Best quality and most selection of any all-you-can-eat Sushi place AND most non-all-you-can-eat Sushi places I've ever been to. I've had better, but only just and for a MUCH higher price. For twenny dolla, it absolutely cannot be beat.

I think saying "I don't like the taste of beer" closes off as many options as saying "I don't like soda" because you don't like the taste of cola.



You can't know good beer unless you drink a lot of bad beer.

Not .

Anyone who thinks all beer/liquor is bad is a moron. And no, you don't have to have a bad version of something to know what a good version of something is. You don't have to eat a shitty cake to know what kinds of cake are good.

This is the first thing you've said that hasn't made me want to donkey-punch you.

...I hate this thread.

I'll probably never taste that one beer again. It was the only beer I could see myself enjoying.

Though I find it easy to praise Victory's Storm King (Imperial Stout) to anyone who likes boldly flavored beers, their Hop Devil is something I hesitate to recommend. However, this is because I did not realize exactly how much hops were needed to be a devil. The answer is: more than Classic can handle. It is a bracing and enjoyable beer, especially on the coattails of a sweeter drink, but standing on its own I found the hops overpowering.

Okay uh

I drink Boag's Draught, Little Creatures Pale Ale and Coronas. Also some honey beer I forget the name of.

But I generally only drink beer if there's nothing else.

Well, I've never used an antonym without meaning to before! Anyway, it's fixed now. So sorry for that.
