Interestingly, tasting beer is an art form just like tasting wine. Although some would disagree with me, I find that beer is also as fine as wine and comes in various flavors. If you are not aware already, beer is an acquired taste. Often, many people dislike beer when they first try it; however, they will cherish it once they grow accustomed to the taste.

I came across a website that discusses how the true beer connoisseur drinks his/her beer. No matter what anyone says, beer does not taste alike. There are hundreds of different types of beer and each one has its own unique flavor and feel to it. Like wine, there are four general steps to follow:

• Observe the color, clarity, and head retention
• Disturb the beer by swirling it around and have your nose ready to take in the aroma
• Inhale the aromatic scents of the beer since they vary greatly between brands
• Taste the beer by overwhelming your taste buds with the rich texture and feel of the cold beer

I know it sounds absurd, but after following the tips in the post where I obtained the information, you really can taste the difference. I encourage all of you to taste the beer and enjoy its flavor and feeling rather than simply “binging” and getting drunk. Try it out and let me know what you think.
