That's a good call, shorty
but you should never turn a man away from a good beer.
(whereas plebes should be turned away from a good wine because they cost much more :P)

I really have a hard time telling a difference between different beers
Then it's probably not for you. Like, all red wine tastes like dirty grapes and cough syrup to me, so I stay away from it.
I mean I don't mind beer. There actually was one I really like but I don't remember what it is anymore. But a lot of them taste pretty much the same to me.
I should probably drink more
One time though, I had some keg beer, and it was the most godawful thing I ever drank

Guys, Deschutes brewery out of Oregon is fucking awesome. I typically hate beer and they have managed to make not just one but two beers which are excellent. Twilight Amber and Black Butte Porter. Twilight is fall seasonal, I believe, but Black Butte is year round and it is so good.
Oh and while we're talking about beer, hefeweisen is good stuff. Pyramid and Widmer both make good hefeweisens.
Thank you for mentioning my fine state. We have the best beer around people. Hands down.
I might have argued with this and given Pyramid as an example for why Washington is better, but this is before I'd tried stuff from Deschutes and Widmer.
So, yes. Orgeon. Best beer.
There is a place called McMinamins that brews amazing beer. If you are ever in the portland area, you should go to one
McMenamin's, yes. We have one up here, too. It's a damn fine brewpub. Open late, two happy hours, good munchies, and a nice stout. I go there whenever possible.
They do have great beers but I find the location at the base of Queen Anne on Roy has snooty servers and overpriced food. Most of the times I've been there it took forever to get our food and when we did get it, there was usually something minor wrong with it. Like the buns on a burger were undertoasted and soggy or when I ordered a bacon burger and got a single slice of bacon on it. If I'm paying $7.50 for a bacon cheeseburger, I damn well expect to get the standard 2 slices of bacon I'd get for $5 at Kidd Valley. Then a friend was telling our waiter how well she wanted her burger cooked and she basically dismissed her by saying, "he'll cook it the way he cooks it." I definitely get a sense they just don't give a shit there because they've got a great location near Seattle Center that brings in plenty of business after shows/games so they don't worry too much about making customers happy. Not my pub of choice.

Well I thought all beer sucked until I tried Guiness and a few others. I basically have it nailed down that I like very dark beers, as well as hefeweisen and a very small number of ambers.

Yeah, I wouldn't blame you for not going there. The one I frequent is up north near where I live. You'd have to take the 128th street exit (I think it's number 169) to get to it.
Edit: Er, that exit is on I-5. Should have mentioned that.

this intrigues me. I shall have to give beer another chance and simply broaden my foamy horizons.

Don't listen to Shorty. It's largely a matter of experience and if you keep drinking a range of beers instead of just sticking to a few that you know you like, your palate will start to discern and appreciate some of the differences. Same with wine. At first it's hard to discern the differences but again, over time your palate will become accustomed to the main flavors in wine and you'll start to notice more subtle differences.

See, I've always thought that I'd rather sit down with a loaf of bread and some butter than drink guiness. It's just too heavy for me. It tastes alright, but I can't get through a glass of it.

Yeah. You can do like I did and move back in with your would-be yuppie parents and drink their pretentious beer until you find one you like, or go to a brewpub and try one or two at random. If you try enough beer you will probably find at least one you like.
t Langly: That's probably my favorite thing about Guiness. If it's too heavy for you, you might try going with a porter of some kind. I think, though I'm not certain, that they're lighter. I'm basing this on the fact that Black Butte is a bit lighter than Guiness and it's a porter.

And don't drink any fucking Bud Light. I will not tolerate that shit. Goddamn. I don't care if that makes me pretentious or what have you, Bud Light is foul, horrible shit.

There is a place called McMinamins that brews amazing beer. If you are ever in the portland area, you should go to one
I was going to try one of their Terminator Ales friday night at the Baghdad Theater, but the line was moving too damn slowly and Fight Club was starting.
There is a restaurant in Gresham called the Main Street Ale House. Place has a brewery built right behind the bar, so you can watch the brewer work his magic while drinking the end result. And the end result is some good damn beer. If Shorty or anyone else visits (or when ZeroZero finally hits 21), i'll show you the place if you're interested.

i almost hate agreeing you with, but yes, one thousand times

eh, I live at college so I don't care as much. I know it's not good but when you go to a party they aren't dishing out guiness or blue moon on tap. I can appreciate really good beers when I go out, but after three years of house parties the bud-light crowd really doesn't bother me.

I've actually been there, and it's quite nice.
And the only "shit beer" that I can drink is PBR. And thats because it's awesome.

Wow! Somebody who doesn't like me! This is awesome. No, really! See, I always thought I was too enigmatic to ever really make a negative impression on anyone. Seriously, you just blew my mind.
Coors light is crap as beer goes, but I'll still drink it if someone hands one to me and there's nothing better available. Especially if I don't want to be a rude asshole. It's not so bad tasting that I can't be a gracious guest and drink it down anyway.
so far I've only had like. Coors Light, Corona, Samuel Adams Lager, and Bud light.
I CAN drink them, but I don't like to.
All of them taste pretty much like ass to me. I can tell a bit of difference and that from drinking them on totally separate occasions.
you don't drink very good beer, dude
I don't drink beer period. I hate the shit, but I have HAD beer handed to me, or foolishly grabbed one from a cooler at a friends thinking I might like it.

A friend and myself plan to just go out to a liquor store, or just simply buy a different beer or two over time until we have amassed enough so that in one night we can sit down and find a beer to enjoy. It's really tough figuring out what you might like when you've only just started drinking.

i also tend to prefer dark beers like guiness or morleys because i take my time with them and they are delicious

but now, yes, i do not like you
unless you're profoundly stupid
like some real ales that are supposed to be manly and put hairs on your chest? yeah, they're like liquid bread in a pint glass and about as delicious
i'm not advocating the use of "lite" beers mind you
this sentence is incomplete
revise it
i wish i could get a buzz off three beers or something, i really do
it would be much better for me fiscally
your = belonging to you
their = belonging to them
there = not here
they're = they are
