What's so great about beer?!?
Everything is the short answer. It's already been pointed out by many already that beer is definitly an aquired taste. I can recall my first beer and it was not great. The same can be said about my first drink of wine, first of scotch, etc. Some of the greatest tasting things to me know like a good bottle of wine or a beer were things that brought no joy whatsoever (aside from the eventual buzz) upon my first taste of them.
I think another good point which has already been raised is that a lot of peoples first experience with beer is when they're underage and drinking for the sole purpose to get drunk. They also are usually drinking some swill that is dirt cheap and as high in alcohol as possible.
As for the question of if I would still drink beer if it gave me no buzz, etc.... Damn right I would and I have had no alcohol beer in the past when having a buzz or being drunk was not an option. The taste is first and foremost for me.
