Or Colt 45. Works every time.
No matter what these savages say make sure to stay far away from Busch.....far. away.
I remember the first beer I actually enjoyed. It wasn't until I was 22. Prior to that, I was just chugging light beers to get wasted. You need to play the field a bit until you find a woman you're actually compatible with. I met my first love one summer afternoon in gramma's fridge: Miller High Life. I still love her, but we have an open relationship. I now love many women. I mean beers.
It depends on why you don't like beer? Do you find it too bitter? If so, you may not like hops. But might be fine with maltier offerings. My wife is this way, likes stouts, porters, etc but not IPA's in the least. Some stouts are too bitter for her, so it's more complicated than that.
I prefer not to think about things like that with my MIL.

Lots of good advice on here...I'd try the mix and match thing so you can try different styles and see what you like...
As for the Blue Moon recommendations, I know a lot of beer drinkers who won't touch that stuff because the coriander flavor throws them off...so you may want to watch out for that if you try it.
If you like Lime-a-ritas then you should try Boulevard Wheat (like many have suggested) and put a slice of lemon in it...there's nothing better on a hot summer day/night.

Or you could squeeze an actual lime slice into a bottle of Dos Equis to go along with your fish tacos at the beach.
Grain Belt would be a good one to start with.
The beer snobs will say stay away from the mainstream lites but those are probably the easiest to get used the the beer taste on then go from there to different stuff.

That's solid advice. Because whatever you have second will taste like the greatest thing ever.
Serious advice I'd find a brewfest somewhere where you can sample a lot of different varieties and find what you like. There's so many choices out there now there has to be one on you enjoy.

I did set you up. But no, I don't think I would do that to a person who was just starting to get into beer. I might give some lighthearted grief if someone ordered a bud-light or something similar, but nothing too rough.
Start with pilsners and lagers. Work up the chain to more hops/flavor until you find you sweet spot. After lagers I'd suggest the following progression. Wheats , Hefenwiezens, bocks, pale ales, porters, oatmeal stouts, IPAs, and stouts.
Most places serving on tap will give you a sample. Ordering a flight is also a good way to find beers you like or don;t like. Unless you find yourself a big fan of hops stay away from IPAs and Pale Ales. Despite their popularity they are an acquired taste.

One thing I'd say is that be careful with flights. With the teeny tiny glass, people tend to take a little sip. With hoppy beers, sipping really isolates the bitter hops. You have to take a good drink (don't have to chug) to get the true flavor. Enough that the whole tongue is tasting at once to get all of the flavors.
