I do not care for American beers; I enjoy beer when visiting Europe. We have an Alehouse in town that has a catalog of beer that they serve. Pilsner is good.

20 years later I still associate beer with frat parties in college so I never got into drinking it. Then again I don't drink wine or any other type of alcohol as I've never taken the time to learn about them. I plan to tho in the future.

I love belgium beers, Hoegaarden is one of my favourite, with slice of lemon even taste better! Usually Belgian beers are much stronger than British ones.You'll find that 5% is one of the weaker beers. 7% or 8% are common and even 10% or 11% isn't exactly rare.

I developed a love for the entire spectrum of beers while working in a brewery where I had the opportunity to sample almost all of the styles. I find that my girlfriends that aren't acquainted with craft beer are surprised at the flavors when I present them with beer & cheese or beer & food pairings (the maltier beers are especially good with chocolate!) Today, American breweries are highly revered by Europeans as being innovators; taking English, Belgian and German styles and making them into American styles (usually with American-bred hops). Most grocery stores now carry an assortment of craft beers; even the big breweries are now developing beers with more flavor. Beer styles can be sorted according to body (how much malt went into it), % alcohol, color, or bitterness. On the lighter end of the spectrum are wheat beers (Hoegaarden is a Belgian wheat beer; there are American clones). Mid-range styles include Pilsners, Oktoberfests. Stouts are actually lower in body, alcohol & bitterness than most styles--although their color is very dark; they can be "floated" on top of other styles. On Mother's Day, my college-aged son & I cooked up a simple homebrew from a kit of "Honey Wheat" that is very tasty; he's sharing with friends and I hope they begin to appreciate the craft of beer (savoring flavors rather than guzzling)! If you really are interested in learning more, an excellent book is "Tasting Beer" by Randy Mosher. Also, the Brewers' Association has a great website, look for "education."

Here in Central California, we used to have to drive 5 hours to buy it. Gradually it worked its way south till now we can buy it in our very small town of 1800 people.

Start drinking social light beer, perhaps even flavored beer like a raspberry wheat ale. I found the best way for me to start drinking beer was to try the flavored beers first, then the dark beer, then the light. However, like I said, a lot of people start with light beer. Regardless of type of beer, it's always easiest to start drinking socially. That way your own apprehensions are not the only thing on your mind.

i like the fruit beer

I like the wheat beers like a german wiessbier, they're always refreshing and easy to like.
