Beer is very personal. Not everyone likes it. But if you don’t like beer, chances are you have only had cheap beer and ales.

You may want to try stouts and porters. These dark beers are not as bloating, and have a richer, smoother taste. I prefer Guinness to most other beers. But an inexpensive, close second is Trader Joe’s Stockyard Oatmeal Stout. It is creamy, roasted, malty goodness. Also, Session Black Lager. This is a strong, full-bodied beer, less bitter than Guinness, and usually at half the price. If you prefer a milder beer, try Session Premium Lager.
