Sounds like you've only ever had Lager. There's a ridiculous number of varieties of beer, Lager is brewed as quickly as possible to remove as much taste from it for people who want to get drunk but are too wussy to crack open a bottle of scotch.

Yah, lager is not a good way to introduce people to beer IMO. Personally, I think pale ale or maybe an irish red is a better style to try at first, although I suppose it depends on the person.

Nice I live out in riverside. I know were i live there is at least 3 small specialty liquor stores that carry all around the world beers you would never know it from the outside of the place as it looks like any normal liquor store. I would check around your local area if i were you even stores like world market carry a decent selection also.
I have tried brewing my own I started out with the basic all in one kits from Mr.Beer then started adding my own ingredients to there pre mix's and using different yeast. It was fun but took a lot of time that I do not have anymore. Im sure some of the fancy setups might work faster but it was 2 weeks in the keg, 2 weeks carbonating, and 2 weeks conditioning.

Beck's tastes like dishwater.
That's right, it sucks compared to pretty much everything around here.
I've had draught Guiness while in London and remember it was good, unfortunately, there's only Guiness in bottles to be bought here, it's still pretty good, but not the best. The best bottled beer I can have on a regular basis is probably wheat beer by either by Paulaner or Erdinger, both are good breweries.

My first beer was Bud Light unfortunately. I didn't drink beer for YEARS after that. Newcastle was the beer that got me into beer.

(click to show/hide)There's a big conference of beer producers. At the end of the day, all of
the presidents of all beer companies decide to have a drink in a bar.
The president of 'Budweiser' orders a Bud, the president of 'Miller' orders a
Miller Lite, Adolph Coors orders a Coors, and the list goes on. Then the
waitress asks Arthur Guinness what he wants to drink, and much to
everybody's amazement, Mr. Guinness orders a Coke!
"Why don't you order a Guinness?" his colleagues ask.
"Naah. If you guys won't drink beer, than neither will I."

Stella is really good! I HATE that little wrap around the bottle cap though.

Well, maybe to you Becks tastes like dishwater and that's fine; it's your opinion. Taste is subjective though. I happen to really like Becks and it tastes good with most of the food I like. In the couple times I've had Guiness, it was from the tap and it tasted like paint thinner. Go figure. :-\

I'll have to look around on Google for any places that might carry imported beers near me. From what I gather, brewing is time-consuming process and time is something I don't really have given that I am a student at the moment. Some day I will give it a shot though.
