Beer thread

[username17]

I never really liked beer. I was more of a Rum and coke guy.

But I was talking with a friend of mine about Beers and told him I've never found a beer I liked. I listed off the 3 major piss-water brands and he understood. He said he had the beer for me.
I went to the Pub (actually the name of a bar) and tried an Aventinus.
The server poured the beer in the Aventinus logo glass and I took a sip.

After every beer I've tried, I ask myself. Would I drink this if it wasn't alcholoic? Aventinus was the first time I answered yes.

It took a few more over the next few days and I began to really enjoy it. By then I was past the 'beer' flavor and started picking up on the other flavors.

It's expensive and inconvenient to get which prevents me from drinking (and spending) too much. It's a Beer I really enjoy every weekend or so.

On a side note I have tried the Eisbock, but did not enjoy it that much. I think it was the setting though. I enjoy Aventinus out of a glass because I take in the smell as much as the taste. The Eisbock was almost room temp and out of the bottle. I would be willing to try it again, but haven't had the opportunity. It's even rarer than the Aventinus around here (Hampton Roads, VA).
