Why does beer taste like swill? Why do so many people like it?

When I was a child, I thought beer was really bad, just like "horse urine". I didn't expect to like drinking beer when I grew up.

Beer is made from malt and barley malt as main raw materials, adding hops, liquid gelatinization and saccharification, and then liquid fermentation. Beer contains low alcohol content, carbon dioxide, various amino acids, vitamins, low molecular weight sugars, inorganic salts and various enzymes, which are easily absorbed and utilized by human body. Low molecular weight sugars and amino acids in beer are easy to digest and absorb, which can generate a lot of heat energy in the body, so people often call beer "liquid bread".

I first learned about beer when I was young more than 30 years ago. Every year during the Spring Festival, the village brigade will give each villager a bundle of Luoyang Palace beer or Jiudu small champagne (small champagne is a kind of drink, which is delicious), all in 10 bottles. Few villagers want beer, and basically every family wants Jiudu brand champagne. There are five people in our family, that is, five bundles of fifty bottles. It takes more than two bundles to entertain guests in the New Year, and there are more than two bundles, which are mine. I have to drink a bottle every other day or two.

Later 1996, I went to my uncle's house for the New Year. I used to drink small champagne, but the people who ate at my table that day were all uncles, brothers and younger brothers, that is, all men, basically elders. That day was the first time I drank beer. I only drank a glass of tempered glass. It was really hard to drink, with a bitter taste and a slightly sweet aftertaste.

After joining the work in 2000, I began to drink beer slowly with my colleagues and friends. At that time, three people often drank a bundle (10 bottle).

For many years after that, I drank white wine because I always ran to the toilet after drinking beer.

Later, around 2008, when I was drinking with my friends, I felt dizzy too fast after drinking white wine. After drinking white wine for more than an hour, someone will feel dizzy, and basically I can go. So I started to drink beer instead, so I could sit and play with my friends for a while. I want to drink beer this time. Well, I'm beginning to like drinking beer. From the beginning, three people drank two bottles (9 bottles each, 578 ml each, and then drank Luoyang Palace beer), and slowly, three people drank 24 bottles, 28 bottles and 32 bottles of Laoshan beer (600 ml each). The amount of beer you drink is really rising bit by bit.

In the past two years, a kind of "craft beer" has appeared in Luoyang. This beer is also delicious. Brewed and sold now, the alcohol content is high, but it is also quite expensive. 6 yuan per catty, each of us can drink seven or eight catties.

Drinking liquor is easy to get drunk, so many people don't like drinking liquor.

Drinking beer makes you weak and drunk slowly, so many people like drinking beer.

Eating hot pot and drinking cold beer is really enjoyable.

Sitting outdoors in a cool breeze and drinking beer with three or five friends is so flawed!

This question is very interesting, and it may also reflect the deep misunderstanding of beer by many people who don't like beer. When early beer was first popular, many people in my hometown would ask, "Beer is like horse urine. Is there anything to drink? " However, over the years, the sales scope of beer has become wider and wider. It is true that a person who has never drunk beer is mostly unhappy when he drinks beer for the first time. I remember when I was a child, adults in my family would pour some beer for my children on holidays. We usually hold our noses and drink, and then quickly switch to Pak Lei. How delicious Pak Lei is!

However, with the growth of age, especially after boys grow into men, many people will find that beer is indispensable in life. In fact, after drinking beer several times and gradually accepting its initial bitterness, you will find that beer is not difficult to drink. Mixed with the aroma of malt and yeast, hops will present a complex taste. Of course, industrial cellar beer is widely sold in the domestic market now, and its taste is relatively light. In order to save costs, manufacturers also add a lot of starch, syrup and corn, but as a table drink, especially as a summer cooling weapon, beer is still very attractive, and beer barbecue is a perfect match for summer nightingale.

I am a beer lover. When I was in college, my family was out of control and my classmates often drank a lot. In the summer evening, after the whole day's class, friends from three to five came to a restaurant street near the campus, blowing a breeze on the roadside, eating kebabs and drinking cold draft beer, and at the same time pointing out the country and inspiring words. It was a happy life. After work, I still like to have an occasional drink when I eat, and I like to taste local specialty beer when I travel abroad.

Later, I gradually came into contact with foreign Al beer, such as priests and Fujiabai (except Budweiser, Heineken and Corona, which are not much different from Qingdao and Snowflake). After tasting these wines, I found that the wines I used to drink were almost as tasteless and boring as water, so my friends and I dubbed these domestic industrial beers water beer and urine beer. It was also at this time that I began to drink different types of craft beer, such as yeast ale, light Al, dark Al, Potter, Shi Tao, IPA, monastery beer and so on. From the brand point of view, it is Dewey, Pink Elephant, Roosevelt, Zhimei, Brewing Dog, Shark Head and so on.

These wines have their own characteristics. After drinking, it is round and full, and the taste buds seem to be awakened, with a strong sense of hierarchy. Under the action of different types of yeast and hops, it is sweet or bitter, or presents fruit aroma. In a word, they are like good wine, which makes me deeply feel the wonder of beer.

As a person who likes beer while doing scientific research, I naturally think: Can I brew my own beer? After that, I took action and started reading books, looking for information on forums and checking documents. I simply put my energy into a doctoral program. When my theoretical reserve was almost the same, I began to roll up my sleeves and work hard. I soon brewed several beers that I liked, and at the same time, I gave many to my friends to taste.

Now, although craft beer and home-brewed beer are really delicious and I love them, I still drink ordinary industrial beer when I drink with my friends, especially in food stalls. The pleasure of swallowing in one gulp and the feeling of impacting my taste buds and esophagus after drinking it are as wonderful as ever! I love beer! ! !

Hello, this is Liu, and I will answer the phone, too. Why do so many people like to drink beer, which tastes like swill?

First of all, beer is not as bad as the title says. I don't know what swill is. Did you drink swill? Haha! In my impression, it was difficult to drink beer at first. I can't tell the taste. I drank it at the instigation of my friends for the first time. Drink it slowly for a few times, and you will miss the taste and buy it secretly. After a long time, I will like it.

It seems that the theme of the topic says, why does it taste strange, but so many adults like it? I think many things are like this, such as peppers, which are so spicy for the first time. Why are so many people unhappy? For example, coriander, such as durian, feels that after a long time, watermelon will become like it after it is tasted.

People who can drink generally don't like to drink alone. They like to invite some talking friends, order some side dishes and propose a toast. This feeling is still very cool, with food and meat. There are joys and sorrows, and you can also tell your friends loudly through the power of wine, which is why many people like wine!

In addition, for myself, if there is no good food, no meat and nothing I like to eat, I don't like drinking beer. Dry beer doesn't feel good. I don't know if you are like this. All right, that's all.

First of all, with my years of drinking experience, beer doesn't taste like swill, but drinking beer when I was a child was really not very good and a little bitter. Now I often drink it, too, and I feel delicious when I drink too much. There are three aspects to drinking beer.

First, beer has a certain nutritional value, not all beer is harmful to health, as long as it is drunk in moderation. In 1960s, due to the limitation of production conditions and improper treatment of some raw materials, carcinogenic substances nitrosamines and aflatoxins appeared in beer. After 1980s, with the improvement of production technology, these substances no longer exist in beer. "Beer belly" is a problem that some people worry about. In fact, the main reason is that you consume high fat and high protein while drinking beer! The nutrition and anti-aging substances in beer are concentrated in draught beer, and drinking draught beer is good for your health!

Second: wine culture, wine culture may refer to liquor, but now most young people don't like to drink liquor, and beer has become the mainstream. As the saying goes, there is no banquet without wine. Now all kinds of banquets or parties need beer. The earliest wedding banquet may only be white wine, but now both white wine and beer are needed. Including the reception of customers, all need beer, which shows that the status of beer is not general.

Third: there is alcohol addiction! I'm also a heavy drinker, including myself. I was born in 1992. I usually go out to eat and only drink beer. Now, as long as I don't drink beer for two days, I feel like drinking it. Go out to drink at most once, until you are happy, basically more than ten bottles. Because I like drinking, my friends often ask me to go out for a drink, and sometimes I am embarrassed to refuse. It is said that abstinence means abstinence from friends, so I usually come when there is a meeting. I drank half a bottle of beer at first, and then I often drank it with my friends. Now I drink more and more, my weight has risen from the earliest 120 Jin to the present 140 Jin, and my beer belly is becoming more and more obvious. Now I drink with my friends. I often drink 12 in the morning, and when I exaggerate, I will drink until 4 am. The most exaggerated thing is that sometimes friends with colds and coughs will make them drink, and they don't want to drink too much. They just said it was good to vote (meaning drinking). In fact, I also know that drinking often is not good, and I still stay up late, but I want to drink it myself. I do have an addiction to alcohol, and I will gradually drink less or not.

Bottom line: There are many noble people who drink liquor and many friends who drink beer. Drinking liquor and beer together will definitely make my wife scold more!

When I was a child, many people liked to drink soda, fruit juice and other drinks, but when I grew up, I preferred beer at parties. If you don't like drinking, you can't help wondering why some people like to drink such terrible beer, which tastes like horse urine.

The feeling of drinking beer for the first time

In fact, for most people, beer is not good to drink, even those who are addicted to alcohol don't like it for the first time. The bitter taste mainly comes from hops, malt and alcohol, which can stimulate people's taste buds and produce bitter taste.

The reason why people like beer.

1. Bitterness can balance the remaining unfermented sweetness of liquor, giving people a pleasant feeling, so they like to drink beer. In fact, many addictive things give people a painful feeling. Although I may feel uncomfortable at first several times, I became addicted later.

For example, people easily choke when smoking, and their throats are uncomfortable, but they become addicted after smoking several times; The same is true of coffee, especially bitter black coffee, which gives people more stimulation and addiction; Alcohol, marijuana, etc.

People like to drink beer because the party atmosphere needs it. Because people will be more excited when drinking, making the party more lively and having more fun, which coke and orange juice can't match. However, drinking is easy to screw things up. Drinking high-alcohol liquor will make people feel high and drunk, so they prefer to drink beer.

3. Radish and vegetables have their own tastes. Some people like to sleep on their backs, some people like to sleep on their sides, and some people like to sleep on their stomachs, each with its own personality. Naturally, beer is always loved by people. Like me, I don't like white wine, but I prefer beer.

Although beer is cheap, as long as you taste it carefully, you can still feel the unique beauty, the faint scent of malt and the refreshing golden juice. If you want to drink better, spend more money and buy a bottle or two of high-end beer. These high-end beers are not bad compared with some wines.

Although I don't like drinking, I still know the taste of beer, which is not as bad as I said. But beer does have a strange smell, but it is far from the taste of swill. If it really smells like swill, I don't think so many breweries can make it. Think about what swish tastes like. It's an unpleasant swish.

And most people, when drinking beer, often drink a variety of moods instead of wine, so when drinking beer, it often has little to do with the taste, which can be divided into the following points.

The first point is:

Friends get together to drink. Usually, at this time, we don't drink wine, but the feelings between friends, so we don't care much about the price and taste of beer, but most of the beer we order is drunk in the process of bragging and chatting.

The second point is:

Sad to drink, in a bad mood, we often drink water without drinking. At this time, even if the taste of beer is worse, for us who are in a bad mood, Silk Hao doesn't care. After all, there is an old saying that a drunk can solve a thousand worries.

The third point is:

Drinking alone, when we feel lonely, beer at this time is not wine for us, but all kinds of loneliness, especially when we see others in pairs. So if we drink beer at this time, we hope we won't feel lonely after drinking these beers.

The fourth point is:

Happy drinking, when we are in a happy mood, but it is not good to share with our friends, we often buy one or two bottles of beer ourselves and drink some to celebrate. At this time, the beer we drink is not wine, but something that allows us to start a business.

The kind of beer you mentioned is industrial beer, which is not good for human health. Beer brewed with malt yeast hops has a mellow taste and a fragrant aftertaste, which is beneficial to human body.

The beer brewed by ancient people is called liquid bread, which shows its high nutritional value. In addition to a certain amount of low molecular weight sugar and amino acids, it also contains vitamin C, vitamin H, vitamin G and so on. Its amino acid content is 3 to 4 times higher than that of other beers, and its calorific value is also very high. Therefore, people call it a good crystal of beverage and enjoy the reputation of "milk". Munich stout, which originated in Germany, is the most famous.

Beauty function: it can mainly moisturize the skin, provide nutrition and shrink pores.

Can effectively prevent senile cataract. Strong stout or strong stout contains a lot of antioxidants, which seem to prevent cataracts.

Beer doesn't taste good, so isn't liquor, whisky and other more difficult spirits even worse? If you decide to drink only by taste, it is estimated that no one in the world will drink. People go to drink, first of all, because it is wine, what they want is the alcohol inside, and the taste is second. Why do so many people like drinking beer? Beer is a kind of wine, so let's talk about why people like to drink it first, and then discuss why people like beer.

Wine is a cultural product. As we all know, in China, wine has a history of thousands of years. From ancient history books, folklore, poems and songs of literati, it is not difficult to find that China people have loved wine since ancient times. Today, no matter when talking about business or gathering with relatives and friends, wine is indispensable, and it has become the inheritance of China's Millennium culture. But from a global perspective, all civilizations and nations have thousands of years of wine culture, and wine belongs to the cultural property of all mankind.

Why do people like to drink?

Scientifically speaking, alcohol can change the level of neurotransmitters and control people's thinking process, behavior and emotions. Alcohol also increases dopamine, a chemical in the reward center of the brain, which can make people feel happy when drinking.

People's motives for drinking are as follows:

Drink to drown one's sorrows. Nine times out of ten things in life are unpleasant. Wine can paralyze the nerves, make people forget the pain of reality for a while and relieve stress. It can be said that wine turned into homesickness and tears. But people have to face the reality after all. If they get into the wine, they will only raise their glasses to drown their sorrows.

Ceremony. Since ancient times, there have been many ceremonies about wine in China, such as offering sacrifices to heaven, ancestors, going forward bravely, welcoming guests and celebrating ceremonies. There are too many, and wine is indispensable for these ceremonies. In modern society, when we drink alone, we sometimes subconsciously give ourselves a ceremony. For example, what's the good news today, or just feel in a good mood, you can't invite people to drink, you should have a drink by yourself.

Communication. An important function of wine culture is communication, whether in the East or the West. China people are naturally shy and reserved, and most of the time they are ashamed to express themselves. But under the influence of alcohol, people who are usually inarticulate can talk in Kan Kan. Therefore, there is no wine, no table, and everyone sits together. If you don't drink, you just eat vegetables. When you're full, you're done.

In interpersonal communication, wine can act as a medium and become a bridge connecting two people. For example, when two people feel embarrassed when they say it at ordinary times, they can say it in a drunken state after drinking. Even if the two sides fail to reach an understanding afterwards, it is easy to use a "drunken slip of the tongue" to ease the embarrassment. Therefore, whether at home or abroad, it is common to talk about things and business in the wine field. The difference is that westerners have a preliminary intention in the field of wine, and the contract must be signed when they are sober after drinking. We are different in this respect. We often drink well and sign formal contracts on the basis of feelings.

Why is beer popular? Beer entered China from the end of 19 to the beginning of 20th century. The reason why it is so popular is that its taste is different from our traditional white wine and yellow wine, and it tastes better than them. Especially the cold beer in summer is extremely lethal and is the first choice for absolute drinkers.

Secondly, beer has a lower alcohol content than spirits, so it has a wide audience. People with low alcohol metabolism (alcohol consumption) may not be able to stand drinking white wine and can have a glass of beer.

Last but not least, beer is cheaper than spirits and wine. Two or three pieces can drink a catty of low-end beer, and high-quality beer costs tens of yuan a catty. But high-end liquor and red wine are often hundreds of thousands.

Many people may not drink now, but after their thirties and forties, most people will raise their glasses. No way, this may be the power of culture. Finally, a friendly reminder: drink a little, for the sake of drunkenness. You must drink in moderation.

Chili is so spicy, why do you still like to eat it? Coke is so harsh, why do you still like it? There is a simple reason. It's good to drink beer.

Drinking is not only a taste for him, but also a feeling. Many people say that they can't live without wine, maybe it's not the wine itself, but the state of drunkenness ... Brothers talk about wine and reminisce about the past, and several girlfriends cry and drink. These are the states you have never had before, your truest heart. Life is so bad, why not have a drink? I just want to get drunk and never wake up.

It said, "But since the water is still flowing, although we cut it with swords, it is even more sad to raise a glass." Wine can make people forget everything for a while, including sadness. Although this is not permanent, before drinking, we still hope that wine can make us forget all kinds of worries in life and pursue the realm of waking up with no worries.

Beer is bitter, but life is more bitter. Because no one is carefree all his life, and few people have never drunk wine all his life, it is still the same sentence, life is always there, sorrow is always there, and wine is always there, so let us grow up in life, resolve our troubles in growth, learn to taste wine in sorrow, and experience life in wine tasting.

Why does beer taste like swill? Why do so many people like it?

A person who doesn't drink will never understand the psychology of people who drink. What are you drinking? It is mood, atmosphere, drinking, communication and an outlet.

Since it exists, it makes sense. Beer is not delicious. Is white wine good? People who don't drink are looking for their own punishment. But it is a way of life for people who drink, just like some people say that smoking is bad and uncomfortable. Why do so many people still smoke? If there is an objective existence, there is a reason for its existence.

China has a wine culture for thousands of years, so family and friends don't need wine for parties. I like drinking, especially white wine. Drinking beer in summer is very refreshing. Beer and barbecue are indispensable in the night market. In the evening, about three or five friends sit in an open-air food stall with bare arms and enjoy the unpleasant moments during the day, which is a kind of communication between friends. Talk about work, talk about life, and talk about the triviality of life.

Wine is a double-edged sword, which suits you best. Drinking is good, but don't drink too much. In fact, whether to drink or not depends on yourself. In reality, few people drink, but the waves in their cups are turned upside down. As long as there is no special reason, drink if you can. The party is not easy. If you don't drink, your friends will be hurt, but drinking too much will hurt your health. It's okay to get drunk once in a while!
