I've never really liked the taste of beer before...

I’ve tasted a few beers in the past and all of them tasted like ass to me. When drinking, I’ve usually enjoyed both wine and liquor, but not beer. I normally drink for taste, not for effect.

Getting toasted never had an appeal to me.

But lately I’ve found that when I went halvesies with either iced lemonade tea or orange juice that the beer doesn’t taste bad at all. Since I’m 63 now and feeling less likely to give a fuck about anything, I’m thinking that it’s time to start taking up beer drinking, enhanced of course.

I’m definitely going to need some kind of cushion to deal with all the bullshit that’s going to happen over the next four years. Just a slight beer buzz to maintain a mellow.

I just got an air fryer too, I’m definitely gonna need some hot wings and onions rings to go with my newly acquired taste for beer.

Bring on the apocalypse.

There is beer and there's beer, many flavors, many different ingredients.

I personally love IPAs. A good friend loves sour beers. Neither of us can abide the other's favorite.

It's sort of like if the only soft drink you had ever tried was a Pepsi Light, and you never liked it. Lots and lots of other soft drinks out there.

It's always fun to try what's called a flight, which will be from four to eight sample sizes of beers.
