Please familiarize yourself with them


2) All posts must end with a '?'This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?


3) No spamPlease do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.


4) NSFW is okay, within reasonJust remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com. NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].

Like the taste but my system doesn't agree with it. I feel bloated and it makes me have stone in my stomach.

After a bit it settles and I can drink it. Rather have a wine or dark rum once every month or so.

Well beer is amazing, but it's the same as with coffee. You need to force yourself into liking it first and eventually it will taste good. I also might be biased because I have access to Bavarian beer, especially the small local breweries are just top notch.

I've liked bitter flavors since apparently I could first eat, so I don't think everyone has to force themselves.

I prefer beer than soda and it can pair nicely with some foods but most of it simply doesn't taste good on its own. "Beer is great" is mostly a social construct.

[–] iamkindasomeone@feddit.org 2 points 1 hour ago

I don't know about that. Sure, society kind of pushes you to like and drink beer but I do actually find it refreshing. As I said, the small breweries actually make good beer that–especially in Bavaria where beer is typically less bitter.

Seconded. I'm willing to believe that a decent amount of people like it, tastes changing from person to person, but I really tried and I feel like there might be a lot more peer pressure in there than we expect.
