I don't get it.......to me all beer taste the same. But I've tasted a very small variety and disliked all of it. The only full can of beer I've ever completely finished was Coor's at my brothers in Ohio. I only finished that because it was a special get together after not seeing each other for 15years

Beer is an acquired taste, IMO. And if you've only finished one full beer in your entire life, you'll have about another 300 or so to go before you "acquire" that taste.

I HATED beer the first time I tried it. It wasn't until I went to Germany and experienced "REAL" real beer that I began to like it. Now, if you want real, real, and I mean REAL beer... Germany has the best.

I agree. I didn't like beer either when I first drank it at frat parties during my college days. I just took it like medicine just to fit in with the crowd (but I only had a couple - I never binged). But over the years, I've acquired a taste for some beers. There are beer snobs who hate mass produced beers, esp. if they brew their own. That's fine, but I'm not that hardcore. I just want the beers to be at the strength they were intended for and not watered down like in OK and some other states.

I didn't like it at first either, and made it worse by chewing on a bit of hops during a rour of the Olympia brewery. NOTHING tastes as bad as hops! Then a year or so later I was at a club dancing, and it was sooo hot and I was sooo thirsty and all there was to drink was a nice cold pitcher of draft on the table. It tasted amazingly good, and I've been fine with it ever since. But I also should say I haven't had one in at least10 years, so I guess I'm not all that hooked.

Best place in Tulsa to experience beer (other than domestic)?:

McNellies at 1st and Elgin downtown. If you buy something like 200 beers of different varieties from them, you get your own mug with your name inscribed on it that the establishment keeps for you when you come back in. I haven't made it yet, but I'm pretty close.

Lightweight... I could do that in one evening! Of course, I wouldn't live to see the sunrise..

That reminds me of the Flying Saucer where I live. If you drink all their beers on tap (over 100, I believe), you get a saucer. I don't know if there's a time limit, of say 1 year.

Synopsis, I say you'd go down after about 8 beers.

You're probably right, especially since I lost a lot of weight in the last few months.

Actually, I can't drink much; my youthful days of tying one on are far behind me, thankfully.
