    callmecurious asked: What beer would you recommend to a beer virgin?

    This is always a tough question to answer since everyones preference is unique.  I suppose if you are an honest to god virgin, I mean never has the ancient concoction of wheat, hops, and yeast, ever to caress your lips, well, it just makes answering this all the more difficult. 

    In my experience for beer virgins, or at least people who claim to “not like beer”, I try to recommend something light but complex.  A  Saison or a Wheat Beer might be a good option.  The color and mouth feel aren’t daunting, the flavors tend to be light with stubble complexities in the yeast.  If you are going for something a little darker, try a English Style Brown.  This style is abundant and almost every local brewery keeps this style on tap, so it makes a great introduction into your local beer scene.  If you are one of those crazy virgins who wants to jump head first into the exotic, try a Framboise Lambic, or a raspberry farmhouse ale.

    Some beers to try:
    Saison DuPont
    Wittekerke
    Serria Nevada Tumbler Autumn Ale
    Lindemans Frambroise Lambic
