Matt Allyn, a certified beer guess and coauthor ofThe Brewer's Apprentice, usually suggests his beer-averse friends start with a Belgian-style white ale. "The wheat beer is minimally bitter and tastes a little like fruit, bread, and vanilla," he says.

Another recommendation: Chimay Grande Réserve (Bluish), which is available in all states. "This strong, night Belgian ale (brewed past monks!) drinks more than like a fruity Pinot Noir in that it finishes dry and it's full of tasty dark fruit flavors," Allyn says. "Just be careful with this one, information technology goes downwardly dangerously easy."
