Heretic.

I wish I could like beer but I don't either. I love fermenting things, love making sourdough and tepaches, ginger beer too, and would like to try brewing beer but cannot like the taste, and beer breath is also so bad smelling.

This. Every time I say I don't like beer, a thousand people come up to tell me I didn't try "the right one".

Well, I did. From all corners of the world, including Belgium and Czech Republic (sometimes by physically being there and drinking it in places of origin). It tastes and smells like stale piss, why the fuck would anyone put that in their mouth? (Except to shut down folks who otherwise nag you to try it).

This is me, except there was one time I was invited to a brewery and drank a dark beer. It was really good, but unfortunately I don't drink alcohol much and I didn't remember what it was. Turns out many years later and beer still tastes so nasty I wouldn't even drink it to get drunk. I still try a dark brew every once in a while, but end up never finishing it because it's so bad.

Makes me wonder if it was something else, like a cider and I forgot.
