I think everyone here has a single vision of Beer. Budweiser and Molsen are not the only beers in the world. There are actually two forms of Beer, Lagers and Ales. There are light Ales such as IPAs and Hefeweizens and dark ales such as browns and stouts.

Light ales can be as full of hops as an IPA (India Pale Ale) or as rich in grains as the browns and stouts. The range of flavors is quite broad and I prefer the dark ales that taste nutty and or chocolaty, compared to the high hop beers such as the IPAs.

You might be surprised if you tried different beers you could find one you really like. But if you were to drink a beer with NBE in mind you'd want to drink IPAs exclusively because it contains the most hops.

Maybe this will encourage you to open your mind to the possibilities of beer enjoyment, and hopefully you can say I really like ____ instead of, Beer is yucky ewww.

To each her, or his, own.

I'm pretty sure that all beer has carbonation. I have tasted some nicely flavored beers but I am sorry, I cannot get past the carbonation. I feel the same way about soda. I would hope that no one would argue against my dislike for carbonation. I have drunk lagers and ales. So, it has nothing to do with being closed-minded. I have eaten things that most Americans wouldn't dream of touching. I do believe in trying everything at least once...

I have my reasons for not liking beer but don't need to give them (although I already did in my first post). I find it pretty insulting when I say that I don't like something and, because someone finds it so impossible for someone to dislike what they like, tells me to try again? Insulting, really! Respect, please.
