Preparation Needed In Trying Beer [Alcoholic Beverage] From Beginner for Beginner [Pt1]

[I don't Promote Drinking and/or Drinking & Driving]
This (blog post) is for people who never have/try beer and/or alcoholic beverage before and for whatever reason want to try some. Because of their preference taste is unknown (to me) with whether they may or may not like beer after trying; I going with the routes with the less cost to their wallet for those who may turn out to NOT like beer. I believe there is a saying "Are you a beer person or Are you a wine person", that how my thought process came to this.

This is coming from a beginner for beginner; if you ask an expert they may tell you stuff that most likely not in layman term and/or too advances for beginner to understands most of it. Layman term for the masses.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[Beer Is An Alcoholic Beverage]

Alcohol can and will impair your physical and mental ability (Even if you have a sip. The degree of impairment depend from person to person as well as the ABV% and the amount consumed)
Alcohol can and will cause health problems (depend on the person personal health issue and past health issue)
You MUST be at the Legal AGE mark by your countries to purchase and allow to Legally consume it within that country's law.
Please obey the LAW and read & understand all warning label on all [Alcoholic Beverage].

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The first and forth most you need some taste toleration for a few most common main ingredient for most beers/beer styles. One is HOP which in most cases "bitter" and MALT.

Test your personal "Bitter" toleration

There are many common food and beverage that are bitter which you can find those lists online but the one I recommended that I assume/believe that most people (regardless of their ethnic/national background, age, and/or where they live [including whether you live in the cities or not OR in the USA or Other Countries]) that is easy to access to is "Dark Chocolate".

Dark Chocolate is a common "candy" in most counties, so that why I recommend that. The bitterness begin to appear in Dark Chocolate starting at 60% cacao and thereafter. Most people stay within 60% and 70% Cacao range. 80% Cacao range are within the limit of most dark chocolate lover. 90% cacao range are NOT recommend even by the dark chocolate lover expert unless they have high bitterness toleration and know their body well. The up side of Dark Chocolate is that easy to access to (to buy), anyone (all age group) can buy it, and it good for your health. The down side of dark chocolate is that the higher the Cacao percentage the more bitter it become and the more thirsty you become.

Finding Malt Taste/Flavor

The "normal/common" food and/or beverage that are similar to and/or that will show up as a flavor to Malt flavor in beer is barley tea. Now I'm not sure how common this is in term of accessibility to purchase it in "your" local store but this is the only thing I could think of among the normal food/beverage that I have try that will or might show up among the beer flavor.

Now if you truly want to try what "Malt" flavor taste like before going for the real (beer) then you must be willing to spend a few cash/buck on "Low Alcohol Beer" style of beer (Warning/Caution: Must be the legal aged to purchase these beer). Now let me explain (beside the legal aged part): while there are all types of "malt" beverages and foods, it is not common (as least where I live in the USA) without going into a large store or a specialize and/or in some ethnic/foreign store. Even then most if not all have some percentage of "alcohol" in it but it really low. So that why I stated to get "Low Alcohol Beer" Style of beer if it going be the same (as in there going be alcohol in it anyway) so why not get what easier to get.

Now in more depth noted (based on my experience); these type of beer within this beer style are usually call "Non-alcoholic beer" or "Alcoholic Free Beer" but in reality most will have alcohol within the average percentage of 0.5% ABV while very few will actually have a true 0% ABV. If you care about these information then you need to do your own research about the percentage, and now on another note most beer lover that comment (online) about these type of beer will state that these are not like real beer but similar.

Now moving on to purchasing and beyond but before purchasing please research which non-alcoholic beer you wish to try as well as which is actually available to you, two important thing beside being at the legal aged to purchase it. These type of beer are usually sold in the beer section of the store and will be more common in larger store. They are sold in "pack" and not as individual so that why I stated do your research just case you may not like it and (assuming) no one around you is able to help you get rid of it the normal way (drink it). I don't want you to waste money so please do your research but if do happen to be in the situation above then let hope you only purchase the smallest amount "pack" that is available to you. Everybody bodies is different but because of low ABV and my personal experience on myself (which doesn't count for anything if talking about your body) is that these type of beer is unlikely to impair you unless you drink several can/bottle in one siting. I still will not recommend drinking this if you going to do some important task anytime afterward right away whether during day or night because you must treat this as real alcohol that may impair you. If you don't like it (as in drinking this non-alcoholic beer and it taste), then you don't need to try the real beer and move on with your life.

[The following information is probably only apply to people who are living or visiting the USA.]

"Beer Style" and What Likely You Might Get

[The following information is just copy and paste from another post of my but facts That I don't want to restated]

The most common beer style sold in the USA are American Light Lager and American Adjunct Lager (Ref Link). Meaning these type of beer style is the most easiest access to if that store is allow to sell alcoholic beverage. All other American origin beer style depend on the size of the store. All foreign (non-American) origin beer style may be found in larger store but they are mostly found in specialize alcohol store.

With the statement facts above, that mean that most if not all US big brand beer companies sell most of their product under either of these beer style (American light lager and American Adjunct lager).

Now the question is: How much are you willing to spend and/or wasted to buy beer? (whether you like it or not)

The most common way a beer are sold in store are in 6-pack or 12-pack whether in Can form or bottle form around 12 fl oz (each). There are individual beer that are sold as itself but they usually come as 16FL OZ or more and they probably the other beer style (unless stated otherwise or you did your own research on that beer brand). Now the main question is how much are you willing to spend/waste on beer that you may or may not like and if you don't like it, who and how do you get rid of it? The problem of this question is for individual who may not enjoy the beer and not have anyone near them that they know of to help get rid of the beer. So for these individual, it is better to recommend to get the single large bottle/Can version then get the pack version in case they don't like it and need to dump it. If they are planning on getting the large single bottle/can version, they need as less research some of the beer style out there because they are most likely the other beer style in these single bottle/can form. The lowest you probably need to spend is at least $3.00 USD for a single CAN/Bottle version if you find one near you to buy.

How to get image from WeChat (Tablet) that people send to you onto the Computer (Window)

Ya I ask the same question too but I solve it myself after tinkering around with it and uses some online help. The online help is mostly for Phone and not Tablet so I'm mostly on my own but it still helpful.

First off, if you want to find the image that someone send to you on your tablet when you plug it in to your computer by USB. You first need to "save" the image onto your tablet hard drive which the above link explain. Chose/Pick "Save to Phone" when saving if you got no clue which to pick. Make sure you have enough hard drive space to actually save onto your tablet hard drive for that image.

Now assuming you done the above step to save the image onto your tablet for your WeChat app. We now move on to plugin in the tablet to the computer by USB. Whether the plugin will show up or not, just click on the "Computer" or "This PC" icon/shortcut and then click on the tablet icon. Click on the file "Tencent" and go found the file "WeChat" and the image should be save under this file.

Now when you do found those image, you can now do what you normally do when you want the data from flash drive onto your computer.

Trying Beer [Alcoholic Beverage] (for me, the non-drinker)

Trying beer and see what it taste like. I did a little research on my own from difference sources/resources to try to understand the different style's of beer. Since there too many things to understand, I made a lists in layman term just to move on just for myself that I care about the most.

Most if not all beer in general will be bitter in certain degree depend on the beer style because they add bitter agent.
The level of bitterness of a beer can be seen or guess by the color of the beer such as that the lighter color mean less bitter while darker color mean more bitter. This only apply to most beer style.
Unless otherwise stated on the beer label and/or you know what beer style that do not have any bitter agent added, you can assume to some degree that all beer will have some bitterness.

Note: Unlike other type of alcoholic beverages, beer actually have an official bitter rating scale known as IBU (International Bittering Units).

https://designincubatorblog.wordpress.com/2013/05/23/beer-styles-chart/

Here two link that may explain the many different beer style out there:

Things with (*) are from other source that not stated on the label
(*) Beer style that are stated here are from other source.
(*) Official IBU rating number that I happen to look up on certain beer style.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The most common beer style sold in the USA are American Light Lager and American Adjunct Lager (Ref Link). Meaning these type of beer style is the most easiest access to if that store is allow to sell alcoholic beverage. All other American origin beer style depend on the size of the store. All foreign (non-American) origin beer style may be found in larger store but they are mostly found in specialize alcohol store. [I don't promote Drinking and/or Drinking & Driving]
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Afterthought (After Tasting #1-42) [01/03/17]: Personally I could of have stop when I reach taste test #35 but I got curious on how high my taste tolerate for bitterness is since this have an official bitter rating and it turn out quite high. Overall according to what I believes based on my taste tests, most beer will taste similar on the lower and medium IBU scale with just the difference in the percentage of which ingredients you taste more. There are a few Taste Tests Number that I don't like the flavor and they are Taste #17, #18, and #36.
