Coffee tastes disgusting.
Spoken like children. Not that those children are wrong; rather, they're only right because that's objectively true for them, and it's only objectively true for them because they have not yet conditioned and developed their tastes beyond the natural inclination where these things are concerned: Sweet = good, give more; bitter = bad, get it away, sorta thing. Perfectly natural. But then, so is eating with your hands. 'Natural' isn't exactly something to strive for. The Czech's beer is the sole redeeming quality of their entire culture.This is an objective fact. To add to well-liked beverages that I despise: beer is fucking awful.
On a related note, years to decades later I'm still pissed that they drowned out Total Annihilation with the much-inferior, but far more heavily marketed Starcraft, then waited another decade to make a sequel in response to Supreme Commander.World of Warcraft has always been a terrible game, but since it was the first of it's kind to reach mainstream audiences that it became the juggernaut that it is.
The "acquired taste" is the hallmark of pretentious people who think that developing a way to appreciate something that fucking sucks is better than developing the ability to appreciate things that don't and be able to competently distinguish between them. I wouldn't call whisky, rum, or tea necessarily sweet (though for the former two, I admittedly prefer them mixed with sweet beverages to offset their natural flavors) - and in any case, I'd take each of the three over beer or coffee any day, in any fuckin' state whatsoever.Spoken like children.

Lemme just point out that the distinctions between what such people are drinking, and any major brew I'd include in the umbrella of "good beer," importantly include that even at at the relatively popular, long-established level, the latter is substantially more expensive to get drunk on than any of your standard fare or mine. That's just a fact.Beer in particular is something that people drink because their fucking parents, family, or friends do, as well as 'cause it's cheap, easy to get a hold of, and not wildly offensive to the body in the way that liquors can be. Acting like you're a refined man of culture because you drink beer is bullshit, because you're on a similar level of taste as any alcoholic white trash fuckface who gets trashed by 11 in the morning.
Idk man I always hated veggies as a kid and only ate them with mashed potato. Eventually was forced to eat them without it and as an adult I'm happy to munch on plenty of greens. Beer's the same thing in my mind. Plus as what Easy said, you won't acquire to every beer, some beers are shithouse and some are great. Sounds like you either didn't try hard enough or it's just really out of your taste range, which is totally fine. Doesn't disprove that acquiring taste is a real thing.The "acquired taste" is the hallmark of pretentious people who think that developing a way to appreciate something that fucking sucks is better than developing the ability to appreciate things that don't and be able to competently distinguish between them.
Sucks about Celiac, my mums the same she hates it.So I was a big beer drinker, almost to the level of being a connoisseur when I was younger. It can be absolutely heavenly if you find the right beer for what you're eating or the environment you're in (Yes there are some beers that are better in certain situations, like on a rooftop patio in 90 degree weather). Anyone who says they do not like beer has only not found the right beer for them, I say the same thing about Sushi (there's just so much variety).
Just a little thing you guys might not know about me and why I said I was a big beer drinker but no longer am is about 5 years ago I was diagnosed with Celiac disease so no more delicious gluten for me.
No, at least none that I've found and unfortunately most of the bars around me offer the same 1 or 2 gluten free beers that just really aren't that good. Whenever I get a chance I'll try a new one but they just don't replicate anything other than a really weak light beer. I mostly stick to cocktails or hard ciders at this point, though I just don't drink that much these days.Aren't there any good/decent gluten-free beers?

I do recommend to anyone who doesn't like beer or alcohol in general that it's a good idea to find one thing you can tolerate at the bar because I've found that a lot of people in the business world like to have drinks and it helps you advance your career if you can join them in that. Though I say the same thing about learning the game of golf.
