Bought a Great Divide Brewing Imperial Stout bomber at Whole Foods today. As I'm walking home about a block away the Whole Foods bag rips and the beer bottle shatters in the middle of the street. First time this has ever happened to me. Was looking forward to drinking it tonight

What a travesty! That's a good beer.

kept it simple and tried one of these the other day when i was fishing, definitely refreshing with a nice, smooth taste, no overwhelming orange taste to it either as some others do.

this question may be a bit of an oxymoron, but i'll ask it anyway. 

what's a good beer for somebody who personally hates the taste of beer?

I'd start with some kind of wheat beer

I was like this a while ago. My gateway beers were Hoegaarden and Blue Moon, especially in draft. Also, depending on the region/location Sam Summer and Allagash White are more summery drinks that don't have a strong hoppiness and just go down smooth.

From there when I was out with people I would just sometimes taste other beers and just got used to it. Now I prefer IPAs and all the hoppy stuff. I wouldn't even order a blue moon now if it was free.

This was my beer menu from last night. First time having the Anchor Steam. If you haven't had the PranQster, you are missing out. Great beer.

best way to go, everything i've posted in here is delicious to drink and ranges from 4-6% ABV.

Another rare sighting.We are going on 4 months with the same homebrew... This is likely the last photo of the Amber Ale 7-8%abv. Light hop presence.

I hadn't had a chance to take a photo of this one until last night.. We did an experimental batch... With some leftover wort (unfermented 'beer') from another batch, we decided to try something different with a few gallons of extra wort..

This is a Mint Sage Root Beer Blonde Ale.
We added a 1/2 ounce of sage from the garden, 1/2 ounce spearmint, and just 1/4 ounce of hops, and had some left over rootbeer extract from a root beer kit, and combined it all together.

The smell is marvelous. Slight hint of root beer with just a touch of mint/sage. The base of this beer is a Blonde ale, already a bit light in many flavors. The fruitiness has always stood out, due to the yeast we use, so the sweetness of the beer mixed with the new ingredients is almost a perfect match. This one is being moved up from experiment to a full 10 gallon run next time around.

93TillnIfinity, I'm guessing you hate the traditional taste we all mainly grew up on. With thousands of choices today, you WILL find something you like, guaranteed. The others posting about wheat beers and belgium wits are right on. Without getting into specifics, since the beer distribution game is all jacked up, H

ere are a few styles i would look for when buying.

I would start with the following:
-Blonde Ale's
-Cream Ale's
-Belgium Wit (think Hoegaarden and to a lesser extent Blue Moon (a beer that many jump into first as they try something not ending in Lite)
-Pilsners and Lagers may carry the same characteristics that you didn't like initially. But you will find some great beers along with some not so great beers in every genre. The best lager I have had in awhile is Weihenstephaner Original. It should be distributed in many states.
-Hefeweizens. If you like bananas, these beers have the slightest hint of that.
-Marzen/Octoberfest beers.. These are geared towards session drinking.. Biscuity/breadiness flavor in the backbone
-Stouts. If you like coffee and/or chocolate, this may be for you.
-Fruit beers. I love Pyramid brewery Apricot Ale.... There are many others using all sorts of fruits that may be to your liking.
-Amber ales, brown ales, and red ales are a toss up. Many of them are hoppy. You kind of have to check with the internet before making a random purchase

My list above has excluded anything with a large hop presence.. Your Pale Ales, IPAs, double Ipas may be what you like initially. But for most, the hop bomb beers are acquired tastes.

Also depending on where you live, different breweries distribute to only select states. So a recommendation on a specific brew may not be totally helpful.

wow, thanks for all the suggestions you guys *repped all of you*

i've been recommended a wheat based type before, will definitely get around to giving it a shot sooner than later.

from the descriptions i've read, it looks like stouts, fruit beers, and belgium wit might be right up my alley.

really appreciate the help, NT
