I am personally not a big beer lover, but I do dig some beer with good meat. However, I am an avid espresso lover. As a kid I hated both, especially coffee.
Frankly speaking, I would expect someone who first drinks either of those drinks to not really like their taste. Somehow, I still can’t do without at least 4 shots of espresso a day.
Is it a social thing ? An awareness(caffeine) thing ?

Kids love sugar because sugar is energy, and as they are growing they need the energy. When an adult becomes fully grown, they don’t need this sugar as much anymore and begin to prefer bitter taste. Since beer and coffee are bitter, adults tend to enjoy it more than kids.
