Does your taste in beer change over time?!


Question:

Does your taste in beer change over time?

I used to really love the taste of American light beers, now I usually find them boring or distastful. I used to think other kinds of beer were bitter and skanky. Now I find I like more complex flavors. Is this age, maturity, or what?

P.S. I still can't stomach Corona lol.

The world of beer is so huge. Just explore. All our tastes change over time (including in books, movies, women! and beer), so yours will too.

Yes.

Only when I throw it up the next morning.

It has been said that your taste buds change approximately every 7 - 10 years. So I would have to say yes, your taste in beer can change.

Yes, and I'm with you 100%. I guess its a little bit of age and maturity. All I used to drink was Bud and Bud Light, but once you have a few of the "good" beers, there's no going back to the p!sswater known as Bud, Coors, and Miller Lite.

i used to too drink any beer i could get my hands on when i was younger NO I NOT AN ALCOHOLIC but my taste buds have changed and now i have a new saying. IF U ARE GOING TO DRINK POISON MAKE SURE IT"S SOMETHING GOOD American light Beer is nice TRY A PILSINER i also don't blame u Corona is crap!!!

Your taste definately changes. As a kid beer is gross, then you start to like light beer, then your palette grows and a darker, rich beers tend to be more tasty to you. :)

Yeah for sure......
When I was in high school/college it was Bud Light the whole way.....

Now, I'm 27 and love darker beers like new castle, and anything from the Stone Brewing Company

I prefer different beers at different times of the day or night and different seasons. For example, Anchor Christmas Ale is just perfect for Christmas! It has a piney, woodsy spicy taste that fits so perfectly with the season. On colder nights I'll go for an ultra bitter Arrogant Bastard, but on warm nights, I'll opt for a british pale ale like Fuller's--very satisfying. On summer evenings, I like Modelo or a good Mexican beer.

Really this is one question you can only answer yourself. Try going to a couple good brewpubs or multitaps which serve quality imports and microbrews and ask a knowledgeable bartender to educate you. Better yet, find a local group of beer afficiandos and experiment with them, you'll soon find that brewing is a wonderfully complex art and there are more good beers out there than ever before.

Too many good beers to stick with just one ;-)

Yeah, I used to drink Bud Light or Miller Light, but now I like Sam Adams or Carolina Blonde, beers with more body. But I still order Miller Light at bars( it just gets too expensive)
