I like the taste of many beers, but "beer" is too broad a net. After all, some might suggest that Budweiser is beer.
Broadly speaking, I like Belgian beers, particularly nutty ones like Kwak. I like hoppy beers like IPAs, and I like a wide range of bitters, porters and stouts. However, it's quite possible to find some really undrinkable examples of any of the above, or to find a pub that has no idea how to look after their beer (in a really nasty example, I saw a trainee barman try to put cask ale through a pump that had just been used for cider).
In short, try lots of different things before you condemn all beer. Better yet, get someone who knows what they are talking about to find some good ones for you.

In that case you have never drunk anything that could be considered a good cider. If you're in the UK, you can probably find Aspall cider in a decent pub (or bottled), and if you're lucky you can try Old Rosie. Then please never drink Strongbow ever again.The Red Dragon said:I like most beers but I prefer the taste of cider, Strongbow being my favourite.
