Of the people I know who don't like beer, they're almost all sweet tooth's. So if you prefer a sweeter taste on the palate then it makes sense that beer isn't your thing. Even the blandest of lagers is inherently bitter. I don't necessarily think it's an acquired taste, I think it's an acquired taste for people who already like that flavour profile.

The first time I tasted beer, I was alone having dinner at a restaurant. I was over 30. There were no peers pressing me. I live in a valley full of Mormons.

Some beers I like a lot, some I don't. I didn't have to acquire the taste. So sue me.

Meh. I used to say the same thing about kale, tomatoes, etc. some stuff grows on you. Beer still tastes bad.

So liking vegetables is Stockholm syndrome too isn't it?

I feel like you can apply this logic to coffee as well.

I think my taste buds are just changing as I age. There's a bunch of foods that I never used to like, hadn't tried in years, gave another go and now like. I don't think you need to keep trying it until you like it, just that maybe eventually you'll like it anyway.

You need to try better beers, there is a ton of variety and flavours, and not everyone is going to enjoy all of them. I don't like IPAs, but I love a good Wheat beer.

I say the same thing about hot sauce. Send me your hate, IDGAF!!

Wasn't Stockholm syndrome fake? I remember reading how it's not a medical condition but some writer invented a name for it and used it in a book or something.

"It's an acquired taste" = "it tastes like shit, but eventually you won't care because you developed a dependency"
