It's funny that the elitists are the ones telling another man that he's not allowed to enjoy his beer the way he likes it best.
Wait, are you telling people what they should be telling other people? That's elitism at another level

Nah, people should feel free to be elitist if they want to. I have a reverse sorting order for that kind of thing.
I just found it funny that the article calls the man who's enjoying his beer the way he likes it an elitist, instead of all the people who make a fuss over how someone wishes to enjoy his alcoholic beverage.

I know what you meant. I was joking. That's why I put the smilie at the end.
**Now for some elitism:
Besides, you don't drink beer. You don't count. Off with your head!!!

Pfah, beer is for sissies! Real men drink mead!
About on par with drinking cleaning spirits or whatever the stuff is called in English... which is certainly 85%+ alcohol, with the rest made up of methanol, vomit-inducers, and smell and color agents.
Heh, it's beer, it tastes bad no matter what you do with it.
Drop a shot of Jager in a mug of beer. Slam. Deliciousness ensues.

Two things I can't stand the taste of put together?
Hmmm now that you mention it, that might not be a bad idea the bad parts of both might cancel each other out?
(I'm a Vodka, Diesel, kind of guy. That or something with lots of fruit in it)
Heh, it's beer, it tastes bad no matter what you do with it.
You don't like it ≠ it tastes bad.
Putting ice in beer is doing wrong. People are free to do it if they wish, but it's still wrong.
I'd rather not "acclimate" to it, when there's stuff that naturally goes with the taste palette.
Second, ice in beer is doin' it wrong. There's certain alcohols that can have their flavor enhanced by ice or a bit of water (notably scotch and whiskey - it releases the wood, peat or smokey flavors) but beer is not one of them. My friend actually does this from time to time and I'd have said something ... if he were drinking real beer instead of Bud. ;)
And if this is all you've got to complain about as far as Bloomberg is concerned, I think you don't know much about Bloomberg. Heh.
I've also tried two of those horrible brands you mentioned. Which don't even smell good.
Everyone says Beer is an "acquired taste" meaning it's not naturally suited to the palette.
I didn't say it is an acquired taste.
Also, there is no such thing as "naturally suited to the human palette". Apart from purgatives and things that our bodies are specifically wired avoid (eg. mercaptans) there are only things with which our palettes are familiar and things with which they are not. Just cos something is new to one's palette does not make it unnatural, simply unfamiliar. If this new taste differs wildly from the familiar it is much more likely to be initially disliked. As one's palette becomes familiar with something, however, one is able to discern more depth and complexity of the new flavour and thus one's palette expands. Add to that the fact that one's palette and taste preferences physically change over one's lifespan (for example children, on average, have a far greater preference and tolerance for sourness than do adults) and this "natural" argument simply falls apart.
So like I said, just cos you do not like ≠ it tastes bad.
Heh, it's beer, it tastes bad no matter what you do with it.

Yeah, I have a thing for Jager. It's poetry in liquid form.
Unless it approaches the sweetness of mead or soda I doubt I'm interested. I only like my alcohol sweet (and even then not very much).
There are some berry beers, too. They're closer to soda-y than the wheats and whites. I've actually had blueberry flavored beer. It was pretty good to be honest. A light beer flavor with blueberries and it was certainly sweet enough. Too sweet for me, really. So maybe it'd work for you.
Are they as sweet as sodas? They might be worth a shot in that case.
A small but excellent brewery back home (Sprecher if anyone here is from Wisconsin) had a beer that tasted like root beer (they also make the best root beer I've ever had).
Better than Wineherts root beer? That stuff is good but what they charge for a 6-pack is crazy.
Never had it, but this stuff is pretty damn good. Of course, when you're in the city where it's brewed (or even better, when you just go to the brewery itself) you can get it pretty fresh.

Yeah. I'll never "acquire" any tastes. I remember when I was a kid and my mother used to try and get me to eat gourmet foods. I would take a bite and tell her that it tasted horrible. Her response was, "It's an acquired taste." I never voiced it out loud since she took great stock in gourmet foods, but I would think to myself, "Is that what gourmet means? A willingness to eat stuff that tastes like crap for so long that it begins to taste good and then proclaim it to be fantastic?"
Yeah, I have a thing for Jager. It's poetry in liquid form.
I liked Jaeger a lot when I was a kid, back when it was called Robitussin.
Give me a nice dry, sparkling cider any day. That's my casual 'put your feet up and enjoy a cold one' drink of choice.
A perfect night's drinking, on the other hand, would be a steady flow of God's Blessings (Irish coffee with a sugared rim) occasionally punctuated with a nice G u i n n e s s and Bailey's boilermaker.
EDIT: The beer is spaced out like that because otherwise it shows up as ****ss.
G u i n n e ss and Bailey's boilermaker.
A little Jameson's makes that tasty beverage an Irish Carbomb. ;)

Yeah, that's what the drink was introduced to me as (Webtender doesn't even list it), but I didn't see any Jameson's go into it. How much, one shot?
EDIT: Ohh, found a different resource. 50/50 the shot? Sounds good to me.

Yeah, it's wonderful.
I'll likely have one or so this Saturday. 
I've seen it done 50/50 and also with the Jameson's as a topper. Just a smidge. Either way works for me. My friend doesn't like Bailey's all that much so when we get 'em she just tosses an entire shot of Jameson's in. Crazy gal.
I believe there's two versions of the drink - one for Catholics and one for Protestants. The only variance is the type of whiskey used. Jameson's is either Catholic or Protestant (I think it's the Protestant one but I'm not sure) and there's another brand used for the other version. I can't remember which, though. Anyhoo, it's silly stuff like that that makes drinkin' interesting, IMO. Wish I could remember, heh.
Dood. Just ... just ... ... ... dood.
That is what 99% of any brand of beer smells like.
I have terrible taste in beers. I can tell a beer is good if I don't like it. If I do like it, it must be swill (like Bud Lite). Take G u i n n e s s, for example. It's like drinking wet bread. Irish car bombs taste great nonetheless.
