Gronk: I don't like beer, it tastes weird

Jayne Kamin-Oncea / USA TODAY Sports

In what might be the most shocking story in an NFL offseason filled with twists and turns, Rob Gronkowski says he doesn't really drink.

The New England Patriots tight end said he only consumes alcohol "maybe once or twice a week" in an interview with Katie Nolan for DraftKings.

Gronkowski has a reputation as one of the NFL's biggest partiers.

During the season, Gronkowski said he "barely ever" drinks. In the offseason, "You get your workouts in, you do what you gotta do, then you can go and have some drinks."

Gronkowski's preferred drink? Vodka and water with a splash of cranberry.

Asked about beer, Gronkowski subverted expectations as they may never have been subverted before.

"Beer ... ew. It tastes weird," he said with a sour look on his face.

Seconds later, Gronkowski essentially admitted he probably wouldn't be able to pass up doing a keg stand if presented with the opportunity.
