I am late to this post but you should have gone to the Cincinnati Beerfest that occurred this past weekend.

I would recommend Mt Carmel Nut Brown Ale or Rivertown Bock or Dunkel. If you wanna be super awesome you should go to one of the Tapping events an the Hoffbrauhaus.

I hated and I mean HATED beer until I turned 21. Then, my friends forced me to learn to like it. You can be taught. Start with light, fruity beers as Krystan mentioned. I'm not sure of any locals either, but Blue Moon, Shock Top, Magic Hat #9 and a variety of regionals that I can't list off the top of my head are perfect fruity beers with little strange after taste. Then you can just work your way up as your tastebuds get all aclimated.

I was the same way, and I found it was easiest to start with getting a taste for things that are similar to what you already drink - which means beers with a little bit of fruity tastes to them. I have several recommendations, though I haven't found any local brews that do this. There are some good regionals out there, though, and I'd be down for helping you warm up to them. I even know a few places around town where you can find them. Mmmmm. Summer beers are the best for this, so now is a good time to get started!

I've found I'm more into ciders or lambics, but its hard to find good ones at bars most of the time.

In terms of local beers I do like Christian Moerlein's assortment, but I could definitely use some schooling as well.

I'll be happy to assist. Especially if it gets me some knowledge of local beer, of which I have precious little.

You should try the oatmeal stout I made. It's a pretty decent and smooth start.

If you head back to Gordo's, try the Left Handed Juju Ginger. It tastes much less like a beer and more like a really ginger-y soda.

I think getting in touch with @RadioCarla and her husband @tom_streeter, who run the local site Hoperatives. If there is anyone who could give you tips on what starter beers to try, they are it.
