title_body: Are we born to either like or hate beer?
upvoted_answer: Beer is a taste preference, and therefor the chances exist that you may "learn" to like beer. 
  
  As a child I tasted the pale mass-produced lager that my father drank and I did not like it. But children (usually) prefer sweet over bitter.
  
  As we grow older, our taste change and we learn to enjoy a more varied amount of flavours, including bitterness, and we then start to enjoy beer more.
  
  Another thing to take into consideration: There are MANY different types of beers! A person might love sour beers, but hate IPAs. Or prefer Bocks over fruit beers. It is a personal thing, but it means that, even though you do not like one style of beer, it does not mean that you will hate all beers!
  
  As a brewer once said: "If you have have not found a beer you love, keep drinking more beer"
