Ok, maybe it doesn't entirely..

Since discovering I liked Japanese beer, I've discovered that my dislike for beer was mostly unfounded as I agreed to try other beers and see how they compared. Assuming you stick to things that deserve to be called beer, Irish beer (such as Guiness), real American beer (such as Sam Adams), and various other beers are also quite good (again, especially with meals.) Hmm, a taste for good beer is sort of an unusual thing to have resulted from a trip to Japan, of all places...
