Hmm...Beer is something if I'm forced to drink, I found a few I didn't hate. 

Budwieser - Its the only beer my family drinks in which the taste I can actually like a bit

Dous ex - Why people need a lime or salt is beyond me

Asahi - I think watching a lot of Japanese anime made this bound to happen

As for what I hate, Blue Moon's on the list. Guiness is something I can only drink as an Irish Car bomb so I can say I don't hate it. If I drink it as a regular drink, I have to drink it fast. Even a little warm will make it hard to drink. 

To be honest, my main drink is MD 20/20. 

Wow, all three of your beers are tasteless beers, no wonder you think you hate beer.

I'm not sure where you're from but find a grocery store with an actual beer selection or something like the Flying Saucer and choose a beer you've never seen a commercial for.  Not all of them will be good, but at least they will have a taste. 

Also, every time you try a new beer try a new type of beer.  IPA, Pilsner, wheat, barley, porters, imperial stout, etc.  There's a whole world of different beers each with completely different characteristics.  Personally, I would recommend you try the Left Hand Brewery if you can find it (it's a Colorado brewery but you can find it elsewhere).  They have a little bit of everything and it's all quality.

My beers suck because I don't drink beer. These three, or at least two of them, are common to a lot of places I go to, bars with friends, so I had to find a fail safe. I found these beers don't piss me off as much. And I could go the Flying Saucer after work but its on another side of town.


I'm not saying everyone should like beer, it's just hard to say you don't like beer when that's the stuff you drink. 

That's like yousaying  don't like video games because you played Sonic the Hedgehod (Xbox 360 version), Haze, and Ninja Breadman and didn't like them.  When you only experience the worst of anything of course you aren't going to like it. 

It's actually good you have a Flying Saucer near you, places like that are great at educating you in the various types of beers.  The waitresses generally know their stuff and you can go in a complete noob and they can help you out.  If anything, they have things called flights which are just a series of tasters.  Get those, find out what type of beer you like (if any) and then start trying different breweries of that type of beer.  My wife up until about two years ago hated all beer until some friends starting meeting regularly at Flying Saucer and she tagged along.  She started trying the beers and now she knows she likes wheat beers and porters.  She doesn't drink regularly at all, but when she does she knows exactly what type of beer she likes and even has a favorite brewery now.

Once you do that, all bars will have Bud, Miller, Dos XX, etc, but they'll generally have other things too that aren't piss.  Once you know you like x type of beer, you know what to look for.
