Yes, but so are all spirits

>>14259233
no

>>14259233
is reading hard?
>>14243878

>>14259233
Yes, and the fact that it's overrated is ironically the cause of a lot of people's dislike of it.

>>14259255
yes.

All alcohol is overrated. People only drink it cause its legal

>>14259308
tweakers and junkies always say that.

>>14259233
This is the most white liberal shit ever

>>14259436
Well then they're correct about at least one thing in life

>>14259233
No. Beer is great. It’s for people that like to socialize and relax. You can drink beer for hours and still function and have a good time. When you reach that point in the night where you switch to whiskey or rum or whatever then you’re looking to get drunk or fight.

Beer is great, grow up and learn how to drink like a man that has to work for a living.

Beer is for vaginas, ghays, and hermaphros.

>It’s for people that like to socialize and relax.

i'm sure people attending opium dens in the 19th century had the same opinion.

>>14259476
>o gawd I can’t have a rail thin physique like all the twelve year old girls I fap to

I remember when I obsessed about body. I just run a couple extra miles now and then and wow I still get to enjoy my drink of choice.

Must be really frustrating to have such a sub-par metabolism. Don’t worry, it sounds like eventually liquor will make you fat too.

With a post like that I can only assume your mother used both while pregnant.

>>14259233
I didn't get beer until I lived in Germany. I hated beer. My first beer in Germany, I ordered it because I figured it was part of the culture so I'd give it a try. It was like an Epiphany. So this is what beer is SUPPOSED to taste like!
and that was Bitburger! So a few years in Bavaria and some walking beer tours and I developed a love for beer and a preference for certain kinds.

Come back to US and all of a sudden microbrews and Hefeweiens are a thing!

So sure, some people aren't going to like a thing no matter what, but if you thing Budwiser and Corona, and Natty Ice is what beer is supposed to be, no wonder you hate it. I never drink anything from a can and go on tap when I can. There's a wide spectrum from light to chocolate stout. Go to a local brewery and try some flights. put your toe in .

> Must be really frustrating to have such a sub-par metabolism. Don’t worry, it sounds like eventually liquor will make you fat too.

>>14259512
It’s ill-advised to post your own pictures on here anon. Wouldn’t suggest it. In the meantime have a beer and relax. It’ll be ok.

>>14259521
You’re alright pal, I was just pulling your leg.

>>14259233

>>14260155
I bet you pretend to like wine too.

Mmmmmm beer.

>>14259670
Because they puke at a slight hint of the mildly bitter taste and were mocked and bullied their entire lives for it, so they use statements like "n-nobody REALLY likes beer" and "alcohol is poison" as a coping mechanism.

>>14260170

>>14259236

>>14261613
Keep drinking it until you acquire a taste for it. Nobody starts drinking beer for the flavor, they start doing it with the sole purpose of getting buzzed and eventually they learn to truly appreciate it

>>14260170
No, I don't much care for wine.

>>14260844
I wish they'd license this to some brewery

no

funny enough I found a hoppy beer that smells similar to gewurztraminer wine

both wines and beers can have great taste

Its not overrated if you want alcohol without the harshness. Even the bitter beers arent as harsh as hard liquor is.

>>14259308
Imagine having a worldview that cannot coexist with moonshiners

>>14259451
It's a beer.

itt people who only ever tried massmarket piss lite and think all beer is like that

Anything is overrated is people overrate it. Its beer. It's nice to enjoy and gets you drunk but if you dont want one dont drink one.

I know it's a meme but nothing better than a cold pils after a long hard day of work to relax

>>14259308
No, people only drink because underage drinking is taboo and it becomes mythical because it's withheld from them from a young age, so it naturally becomes a rite of passage for them.
If alcohol wasn't age restricted, most people wouldn't even start.

>>14263825
>If alcohol wasn't age restricted, most people wouldn't even start.
It's all done on computers now, anon, so your straight edge shit is useless.

>>14265674
it's really weird that there are about hundreds of different and rare beers from small time microbrews commonly available on the west cost, but I've never seen Yuengling.

I would buy it if it just said "beer" without that other cringe text.

>>14269249

Yes because that sounds exotic

>>14259236
wait, since when were spirits overrated?

>>14268504
Oldest brewery in the US and until recently didn't sell west of the Mississippi. Really good stuff, but I like beer.

>>14263825
More correctly, if alcohol wasn't age restricted then there would be less alcoholism.

Germany is a prime example of somewhere where alcohol has minimal age restrictions, yet many Germans love to drink. Stats for alcoholism and such are surprisingly low though.

>>14259233
If you're a little sissy faggot then yes

>>14269324
alcoholism is a symptom of repression, if people don't know how it works and can't form a healthy relationship with it, they'll abuse it. Drinking is just something people do here, everyone drinks or at least knows how to drink. That's what the low age restrictions do, people learn to handle it.

The thing that bothers me most about Americans is the performativeness of their drunkenness, if that makes sense. When you drink with Americans it feels like they are acting the way they believe drunk people act. Even when they had barely anything. It's a very jarring experience.

keep coping.
bugmen are absolutely obsessed with "microbrews" and all other matter of beer-related nonsense.
You're simply buttmad that your favorite phytoestrogenic drink is undebatably the domain of bugmen right now, and you're projecting so that you can deny to yourself that this is the case.

>>14269951

>>14273529
you can drink some beer, white beers and wheat beers, low hop beers, these are all okay in moderation, but look at the modern day "beer snobs". Bloated redditors with soft, sagging face and features. This should be enough of a deterrent, you don't want to be these people. Some people seem to have iron constitutions and are not effected, but the majority of people I know who drink beer regularly get soft and doughy.

>>14273598
That's just excessive calorie intake. Phytoestrogens have little to no effect on human estrogen levels

>>14271825
No, beer ain't halal. But always wanted to know what all the fuss is about with alcoholic drinks.

I have been drinking liquor since the virus started. I miss pounding pints at the pub. Liquor gets you fucked up, sure, and you can mix it and that's nice, but there's a flavor beers can have cocktails can't ever get. At least, not under $100. I just want a smokebeer or a good stout.

For me, it's Natty Daddy

>>14276306
tastes whack.

>>14276306
Nothing like few ice-cold natty daddy's, a pack of filtered cigarillos, a slice of gas station pizza; and a nice, dry overpass to sit under.

When I was younger I didn't like beer but as I'm growing up I find it to be the perfect "casual" drink. No big fuss, just a small time alcoholic beverage.

Speaking as someone who only drinks beer to halt my rampant alcoholism and understand my job as a bartender better, its overrated overall. I started drinking it after only drinking liquor for years, and it takes a good 10 days of just beer to not hate the taste. After that, you'll start to pick apart the flavors, though I still don't particularly love it and liquor has a much broader and better range of flavors.

>>14270756
>undebatably the domain of bugmen right now
lol who cares bro just drink what you want its all goodie my dude

>>14259233
regular beer, no. people buy it fully receiving what they pay for.
IPAs or any fancy shit that calls itself beer? yes

I like stouts, primarily. Stouts are underrated for some reason, but I love them.

>>14287061
Schwarz are even more underrated

I don't like this notion that "craft / specialty beer" is some pretentious wankery for people who think too highly of themselves to drink "regular beers"

as if it's either shitty industrial lager or super hoppy beer with weird adjuncts, people acting like there isn't a wide variety of classic beer styles like the shit in belgium and germany or trappist shit (not that I think old world beer is inherently superior)

there is no normal beer

You can still function with wine, liquor, or cocktails if you aren't a drooling retard with no self control. Just because you have a drink in your hand doesn't mean you have to chug it in seconds.
If you can't moderate your consumption to reasonable levels without limiting yourself to slightly alcoholic water, you have a problem.

>>14259308
i would trade alcohol for psychedelics in a heartbeat

I hate buying beer because it'll just be gone in a few days and I'll be going "who drank all the damn beer?" It's stupidly expensive for the low amount of alcohol. Better chug four beers for the same effect as one gulp of whiskey, then piss 3 times in the next hour.

>>14263825

>>14259308

Nobody would drink beer if it didn't have alcohol. Continue to be proud of your chemical dependence that masks the fact that it tastes like shit.

i just like bitters over lager or pilsner. i really like stout and porter as well. i mean yeah there's not much distinction between 'stout' and 'porter' but most people dont know or care so i just call it whatever the label reads.

If you wouldnt suck dick for it, it's overrated
