My parents took us to get cans from a local beach every Sunday (after the Friday and Saturday night parties) to take to the recycling center. Digging through the 50-gallon drums to get all the beer cans ... UGH! So Yeah, I liked the money we made ... but now I can't stand the smell of grain alcohol.
I have to be in a very weird mood to want to drink a beer. Usually it's when i have mexian food on my mind. That happened a year ago and I bought a beer and put it in my refrigerator. I didn't get the food and the beer is still in the refrigerator.
I guess like anything it is an acquired taste. But the best ones for me are those which have a lot of taste to enjoy. Which I'm not sure everybody does. They more just grab a cold beverage and if I am going to do that I go for my white wine. But a lot of the so-called craft or microbrews are very good and drinking them is like a festival for your taste. Maybe every three weeks I will have a beer from what I sometimes buy to try. Or someone will recommend a particular one and if I remember that I might buy some.
I’ve never tried any of that craft stuff. I don’t like white wine either. If I want a cold alcohol bevarage I’ll just have Mixed drink or vodka cooler. I love red wine though.
If you like red wine, I can definitely expand your horizons---and I'll bring some red wine with me for afterward....
(And a glass of a Montrachet while watching the sun rise may change your opinion of white wine....)

I did not like beer when I was in grade school. I liked it more and more as I went through high school and I never stopped liking it. Sweet drinks get tiresome after a while so I'll start drinking V-8, beer and lime juice by themselves or in just about any combination of the three ingredients you can come up with.
I remember when I was going to pubs around 19ish a friend and I would get a pitcher of beer ( cos only 7 dollars) and a tall glass of bar lime to throw in it. We only drank it cos cheap and used the lime to try and make it tolerable.
I do like beer---but I only drink it with pizza and spicy food.
A Dos Equis on tap is by far my favorite. Coors will do in a pinch. Heineken was my favorite when I was about 15 years younger.
(And I think lite / light beer of any brand is a dastardly merchandising trick by beer producers.)
(And a lime in a beer is a sacrilege---lol.)
I love mexican food, especially with jalapenos and spicy food in general. Only milk and beer are capable of dissolving the fire of the Capsecum plant family. and I would consider it a sign of disrespect were I to use something as ordinary and pedestrian as milk to accompany such a fine meal.
