    I usually don't like beer but I occasionally enjoy a Guinness. What other brands might you suggest?
    Community Answer
    Guinness is a bold, dark stout, so if you like it you'll probably also enjoy other Irish stouts like Murphy's, Imperial or Kilkenny cream ale.

    Branching out can prove rewarding. Crabbie's Ginger beer is pretty good. I would also recommend Fruli (Belgian Strawberry Beer). Aldi's does a range of interesting tasting brews such as Spill the Beans and Red Rye. If you want to try guest ales as opposed to mainstream keg beers, here are a few to try: Theakston's Old Peculiar Hopping Hare Fursty Ferret Old Speckled Hen Rebellion: Smugglers

    I actually don't like the taste, it tastes really bitter, I can't bear that kind of bitterness even though it's a shame. But somehow I enjoy drinking beer. Any suggestions?
    Community Answer
    Mix it with lemonade. The ratio is up to you, but normally it would be half beer and half lemonade. It gets rid of the bitterness but keeps the flavour

    I haven't found a beer I like I've tried Michelob, Corona, Blue Moon and Stella Artois. I want to find a beer that is easy to find in stores and restaurants any suggestions?

    Buy an alcohol-free beer , cool it down and add a very bit of a quality fruit syrup (like the French Monin products). Low calories, all B-vitamins and trace elements inside and no problem to drive a car after. If you have a chance, take a trip to Germany, especially to the area around Nuremberg to test real crafted beers for low prices (a pint about USD$3.50 in beer gardens). You're sure to find one you love from a tasting.
