    Trying all the beers that you want in a moderate way to be able to differentiate the flavors correctly (not to drink all at once :D).

    Remember: one step at a time. :rolleyes:

    Many people tend to stick to what they know, and when it comes to trying beer they are no different. There are that many different varieties of beer around these days, that trying them all will be almost impossible. I do agree though, and I think the only way to try and broaden your horizons when it comes to beer is to try it for yourself, don't rely on certain so called experts reviews.

    It was just a way of speaking, haha.

    I just wanted to say that what should be done is to try as many beers as possible (because like you said, tasting them all is simply impossible :D).

    I agree, trying out as many beers as you can may seem unnatural but it's the best way.

    Honestly, I can't see a better way to do this. It seems somewhat "irrational", but it's the best way.

    You just have to be careful about your health, haha. :D

    Health is pretty important, and beer can be pretty hard on it and give you a beer belly.

    I think the belly would be the least of the problems when compared to bigger and worse problems, right? :D

    You're kinda right, haha! But I think it will depend a lot on each person, right? :p

    I think so that you should taste all the beers one by one.It is tma best way to make a difference between many beers by tasting them.In this way you can easily appreciate a good drink and enjoy it as you want.

    I just hope nobody is doing that thing that wine tasters do, when they swish it around and spit it out. I never understood that one....just drink it.

    It's definitely an acquired taste. Honestly, when I first tried beer I was probably 13 or 14 years old and I remember thinking jeez? What is this? When I started drinking a couple times a week in college, I still wasn't the biggest fan (also more of a smoker tbh). But around junior year I started having some slightly nicer beers like Magic Hat, Blue Moon, and Sam Adams Summer ale and I really started to appreciate beer.

    The differences between beers can only be realized by tasting them through drinking. People have different past experiences with alcohol, and the tastes may not be similar. Unless you taste it by yourself, you can not know the difference easily.

    The obvious answer would be to try different ones. But what you should do is pick a random one at the bar every time you're there. Drink it slowly and try to feel the taste as much as you can instead of gulping it all in at once. Slowly, you'll start recognizing them. Yes, it'll take time. There's no quick trick here.
