I don’t like beer either, but your post sounds more like “you should not like beer” than “why do people like beer” and that’s not very nice.

You can’t get drunk off it? You’d have to have a really high alcohol tolerance unless you’re drinking really light beer.

Also, I like the taste of beer and so do most people who drink it, as I’m sure you know. I’m not sure what the point of you asking this is

If it tastes like piss then you’re drinking the wrong beer.

I mean fundamentaly your question is "Why do people have different preferences? " and I think that’s a very interesting question, with philosophical as well as economic implications.

All we can say for sure is that individuals do indeed seem to have different preference, without clear criteria across individual people.

For example, if Jill has the opportunity to purchase either wine or beer, and both are the same price, same alcohol content, same social implications etc, we have no way to predict which Jill will choose based on the information available in the world outside of Jill consciousness.

However Jill herself may have an obvious and consistent preference, and I’m not sure anyone fundamentally knows the reason for that, other than Jill thinks wine tastes better.

As a fan of craft beer, I like the taste. It’s like drinking different types of bread.

When I toured Europe, I found the beer was definitely lighter there.

As Mojo Nixon said, “beer ain’t drinkin”.

Everyone has a different palate. You might just be more sensitive to bitterness than others. Have a white claw or whatever you’d rather drink, don’t worry about what other people prefer.

Historically? So they don’t get dysentery.

I think you’re only drinking certain types of beers and not venturing out, or don’t have the opportunity to.

One of my favorite beers to drink is actually a mixture. A dark nitro stout beer mixed with chiltipean (spicy) beer. Tastes like a mildly spicy chocolate drink.

There’s 10%+ beers out there that will absolutely get you drunk. Also, you might be drinking your normal beers to slow or have a very high tolerance if you’re never getting buzzed/drunk.

I brew beer so I like it a lot.

I just don’t like anything sweet - I literally drink sweet alcohol 1 glass per 2 hours.

But it is in our culture Czechs drink about 120 l of it per person per year.

Well, if you ever tried uncarbonated piss, I’m sure you’d come to appreciate beer more.

I like the taste of good beer (but let’s not get bogged down in what “good” means; everyone has different tastes), plus it has strong, pleasant associations. For me, a good beer is a reward, or something I enjoy with friends. It’s not the taste alone, but the feelings and memories that go along with it.

I like beer, just has too many calories for me. There’s a lot of variety in terms of flavours so there is usually something new to try. I love raspberry beer and sour beer in particular but lager/pilsner is good for the hot weather we’re having in the UK at the moment

I never liked beer, growing up. That being said, I never cared for liquor either. I cannot stand the bitterness, or the heavy carbonation.

I tried all sorts of good beers, bad beers, etc and simply never understood the point. I had/have no desire to be drunk or in any sort of altered mood, so there was no incentive for me.

In recent years (idk maybe because I’m getting old lol) I started to casually try beer here and there with friends and such, at outtings and such.

What I discovered is I do not like “beer” as a whole, but there are specific beers I really enjoy. There’s maybe only 2-3 beers out of the hundreds I’ve tried which I find taste good, and actively will enjoy.

Am I the only one who gets unimaginably bad gas from beer? I drink one glass of it and it feels like my tummy grows a balloon the the size of a watermelon in it

Hops are tasty if you like citrus, dank, or bitter

Hopped ice tea is good a little sweetened with a bitter dank hops
