I didn't like beer either up until I tried something I genuinely liked. All through my teenage years and college, the only thing I had was either what my parents liked or whatever cheap shit people drink in college. After my friends and I all got jobs, we started hanging out after work at a local bar that had a massive menu of craft beers. We would all get flights and try lots of stuff. Turns out, I don't like a good majority of beers and I'm a very picky beer drinker. I only like stouts, porters, ciders, and sours which are less available than say an IPA. So maybe keep trying stuff? You might find you like something very niche or you'll find you just don't like beer 🤷. I'm more into mixology now anyways so maybe that's your thing?
Pabst Blue Ribbon and Busch were the cheap options when I was first legal drinking age, but I really didn't like of Busch, had an after-taste like donkey breath. PBR was meh but would get drunk enough after a few with my super low tolerance to stop caring.
Craft beer is so much more and interesting and tasty. At the bar and in cans I always go for local beer options over Anheisur-Busch, Labatt and other big brands.
I know the taste of IPA has really grown on me lately and I don't speak for everyone but I second trying lots of things out to see if any fit your tastes.
