Nothing like a cold beer.
My partner bought me one of these. My god, amazing. And a great selection of kegs too

Beer is so fucking tasty how do I avoid it

Can’t believe how many ‘beer tastes gross’ people are in here. I’ll assume you’re all under 25, and also think olives, strong cheeses, and black coffee are gross, you uncultured swines.
I’n the same as you OP, trying to cut back on the beer but it is so, so delicious.
The choice and variety of beer available right now is simply astounding, I could try a new beer every day if I wanted.
I’ve tried lots of non alcoholic beer and while it is getting better (you need some low alcohol craft IPAs, fuck the 0% lagers), it still isn’t as delicious as the full bodied strong IPAs.
If they weren’t alcoholic and still tasted as good I would drink IPAs every day, nothing tastes better on my palette.

Give me all the beers. Give me cold lager on a hot day, give me a traditional ale by the fire in the winter, give me a US style IPA and football on TV, give me stout when I'm out with the lads.
And give me cider direct from the farmer in a five litre bag and drunk from my stone cider mug.
And give me peaty scotch late at night.

Just be me and don't like the taste of beer at all. It's so simple, everyone should do it. You too can be an attractive and depressed millennial with minimal risk of liver disease!

Lol. I dont like any of those things. We can pretend I'm under 25 I guess.
Just don’t buy it when you go shopping or experiment with the alcohol free stuff, which is also the best alternative to water in terms of health, it’s also starting to get decent now the market has grown and independents are involved.
I don't like beer or ale. I'd rather have a wine, cider, mead or spirit mixers if I'm drinking and a good cider is great is my preferred choice especially if 6/7%.
Only drink a lot socially at weekends but wont normally if not going out though if I end up having some on a weekday it tends to be 1 or 2 with food.

Tasty is a lazy word even in more appropriate applications, but to use it to describe beer? That’s just sad.
A lot of beer sucks.
But once you get past that area of beer, there's a lot of really tasty beer.
Honestly, just don't buy any beer until saturday, stick to coffee/tea/water/juice, whatever.

Step 1- realize all beer tastes like hairspray
Step Two; stop buying beer because of said hairspray flavor (or just use willpower)
Step the third: used saved money to acquire other items
Step IV= invent the nonacycle

I just did a quick count, I have +/- 140 bottles of beer in my pantry right now. Around 40-50 different beers. Saison, IPA, Blonde, Enkel/Dubbel/Triple/Quadruple, Lager, Weizener, Bock - there's a time and place for every style, flavour and abv. I feel ya, OP. I just don't have your problem with it - I guess I value my flat stomach too much.
Also: I've already converted so many beer haters with the right beer. For some it's a Brasserie Dupont Avec Le Bon Voeux, for others a Westmalle Tripel, a Liefmans Goudenband or Pecheresse, or maybe just a witbier or weizener. Beer's hella diverse yo.

I'm so with you OP, I LOVE beer. LOVE IT.
I'm an ale guy, like all types, but IPAs are my favorites.
I brew it. A lot of it. I do a batch probably every 3 weeks and have 5-6 styles ready to drink at any time. I love West Coast hops, Cascade and Centennial are the best. Right now I've got a West Coast Hazy IPA, Red Rye IPA, Black IPA, Ginger Saison, Imperial IPA, Chocolate Vanilla Coffee Milk Stout, and a 12% Belgian Quad that's been aging 7 months. Brewing for the past 6 years or has made me appreciate the complexity and ingredients even more.
But regarding your first post, I drink at least a beer every day. I also work out and do kickboxing 4-5 times a week, I'm 46 and lost 50 pounds 3 years ago after having two kids, and am probably in the best shape I've been since I was 18. I changed the diet, all of that, but never gave up drinking beer. I will work out extra hard just to drink beer.
Balance is key, I don't think anyone should deprive themselves of anything, find a routine and make it work to enjoy the things you enjoy.
Calorie wise, if you like IPAs, they're about 150-225 calories per beer, so account for that.
I swear if they made a super hopped N/A Cascade IPA I'd drink it all the time.

DP but this guy knows what's up!
That's awesome! I feel there's a beer out there for every taste, people just haven't found the right one.
This is perhaps my favorite beer. Haven't had it for years though but my god it is amazing!i mostly drink this here in germany (no I am not drinking this at 07:20 in the morning lol, took this pic a few weeks ago for another thread). that and any good Bayerisches Weizenbier.
Ayinger Doppelbock 6.7% ABV
Drank a sour beer last week. I had to stop myself from going to the stire and buying 100 more. It was so good.
I use to think IPAs tasted bad (this was like 10+ years ago), the same way I use to think red wine tasted bad. That said over time I built my way up (something like a pale ale is a good place to start) to now I prefer IPAs (same with red wine).
That said there is nothing wrong with having a little alcohol with dinner. I usually have a glass of red wine with dinner, and sometimes even a beer (if we are having tacos, pizza, sushi, etc.). I find it enhances the food. The issue is are you having another glass after dinner and a glass after that. It is a slippery slope, so keep yourself in check.
Of course you should always keep yourself in check with most things (food, weed, social media, etc.). I run 4 to 5 times a week to burn the extra calories, and I actually avoid beer during the week due to calorie count. I am a fan of Lagunitas Daytime IPA, because it is under 100 calories without sacrificing much of the flavor. If I don't care about the calorie count my current favorite is Sweetwater 420 Strain G13 IPA 12oz (it is so good on draft).

The problem with this trick is you don't learn your lesson and then start to get fat :P
Trying to go the rest of the week without a drink, but I'll for-sure fail tomorrow because friends. Probably ain't gonna do well on Friday either >.>
