True, but this would just be an introduction. Obviously
five tastes of beer won't run the full gamut, but it's a

people a gentle push down the road of beer education is
hearing people say things like "I don't like beer; I tried
it once and it was awful."

I'd certainly start with a fine pilsner and explain to him that this is
where it all started. What he usually drinks, light style lagers I presume,
are a very poor commercial representation of what started out to be very
fine lagers. Pilsner Urquell comes to mind. I can get it quite fresh by the
case load here in Aus, but I hear of so many on this group who can only get
out of date skunked bottles (don't go there!)
