	It is certainly your priviledge not to drink beer ever again! But it is
a deep mistake you are making, because from what you say I belive that
the bitter taste you are refering to is from yhe hopp witch is very low
in a lot of beers and absent from many others I will insist that you try
the belgium whites beers and fruit beers tfor your personal enlightment
and enjoyment.

	I will also point out as I did befor that in the Middle Ages most beers
did not have any hopp but other flavoring/preserving agent (admitedly
some of them bitter) and that even today many beers are sweet.

	Finally I will recommend (as a supportive opinion) that you read Phil &
Susan Troy (troy at asan.com) mail Re: SC - Beer (from whiskey
thread)(Date: Tue, 18 Nov 1997 16:34:11 -0400) witch as some good points
that need not be repeted in extentio.

	Again keep trying... a different taste, and some day you will find  one
you like!
