      Mate, there’s a place near me that makes non-alcholic IPAs that I love to drink on hot days if I’m not looking to get drunk.

      Just cause you don’t like bitter flavors doesn’t mean others don’t.

      Some people certainly do drink beer just as a social lubricant or to get sloshed, but for others the taste is the point especially in the craft brew scene.

        It’s called an “acquired taste” mean something that doesn’t taste good on the onset, but you put up through the bad taste to get a positive effect, such as getting a buzz. Remove the buzz, there’s no reason to put up with it to acquire the taste. You’ve already acquired the taste, so after removing the alcohol it’s fine. But I guarantee you you wouldn’t start drinking if there wasn’t a peripheral benefit.

          It isn’t an acquired taste though. It’s an enjoyment of bitter and botanical flavors same as certain types of teas.
