Worst Beer I
- Re: Worst Beer I
sam adams (although generally a very good brewer) has a trippel bock that tastes like ass!!! Worse than any cough medicine you'll ever taste. Very rare, comes in a corked bottle, I'm not even sure where they sell it. I got a taster from Jim Koch at the beer fest in Denver and I told him exactly what I thought!!!!

That's an incredible brew, but it shouldn't be considered a beer per se.

Craftsman makes some great beers like Tripple White Sage. A few months ago I had thier Xmas beer at Lucky Baldwins. It's brewed with pine needles and the bartender warned me that it's strange. It tasted like a pine tree. You're not supposed to put pine tree needles in your mouth nor in your beer. I can still taste it. Everytime I see a pine tree air freshener dangling from someone's car mirror I can taste it.

Gotta agree with Endo about the Craftsman Holiday Spruce. That stuff was nasty! The only other one that comes to mind is Morro Bay Brewing Company's Hefeweizen. Now, I like the slight banana and clove tastes inherent in this style of beer. However, this particular one tasted WAY too much like banana. I'd go so far as to say it tasted like a cross between a beer and a circus peanut.

Samual Adams Cherry Beer. Gawd, Vicks 44 is the closest I can come to in comparison. Redhook IPA, real skank brew. Arrogant Bastard: A simple refusal to be intimidated into a "dare" and actually think you enjoy this HazMat concocted brew. If more is better, than why isn't everything done like that? Any of those Trappist Ales, brewed by celibate Monks in dark caves. These have a gaak-it flavor right off the bat. Immediate pour down into sink! Finally, while I can't remember the name, a particular Scottish Porter came off with a great smell, but a truly insipid flavor. While I have some Scotch in me, this is a poor excuse for a porter.

Regis, please tell me that you're: a) just kidding b) you haven't really developed a taste or perhaps an appreciation for stronger beers c) you've flogged yourself on Ave P land in the heat a few too many times and fried your brain's taste receptors

The answer is permanently b). IMHO, (and I'm sure there's a market for such beers) if a beer hits the back stop on the way down the hatch, something is wrong. It's like my esophaugus slams on the brakes and says "no way!". My roomie has brewed his own for years and we can't figure out, why somebody would want to quadruple hop a beer. They could always sell it in a toothpaste form, so you could chew on it! I'm a huge fan of the English Stouts and Porters, Samuel Smiths, Youngs and Fullers. Full robust flavor, but none of the wa-aa-ay overboard hopping of the previously mentioned beers. Of course, this is just my opinion and it really doesn't mean jack! Mo' Tastebud power to you! *(as I'm not "worthy" <8^) )

I had a bottle of Stone IPA sitting in my refrigerator for quite a while. When I finally decided to try it, it tasted like stomach acid. Ugh.

Brew 102, Schlitz (still around if you really need a headache), Mash Beer, Generic Beer, Michelob. In fact, anything with Anheiser Busch label on it. Lucky Beer, Micky's Bigmouth ( one of my brother's favorites).

Miller High Life! I just tasted one yesterday watching the Laker game and what a mistake. It was nasty, I couldn't stand the flavor nor the awful stench that reaked out of that bottle.

"Who gives a crap where its from?" I am going to stick my pudgy nose in on this one.... The first thing I do when I see a new beer, is look to see where it is from. Does anyone else here do that? Not everyone does this, but most beer connoisseurs do. The origin of a beer is important to people because it tells a story about the beer. Beers from the Northern Coast of California, Central Coast of California, Southern California, Mexico, Japan, Germany, Austria, Ireland and on and on. The origin of a beer defines the beer in many ways. How it is made and what it is made with. The history of the recipe, the new trendy taste of today all play a part in enjoying a beer. Personally, I have to know where a beer is from before I can enjoy it. It is part of the experience. I feel like 'teeing' up on your fat kitty face because you are extremely wrong in many ways and I feel the need to say so. Maybe you just learned something about beer. Now please, leave this beer thread; you are not worthy.

Agreed. Where a beer is from is important to the style and taste of the beer. Our friend above knows little to nothing about beer and judges all beers via the pink wine litmus test. If it isn't pink or sweet it mustn't be good. His tastes just haven't refined past the "yummy phase" of life (that is where you can eat Coco Puffs and drink orange soda in the same sitting) so you really can't blame him for his lack of interest in real beer. Now, as a troll, TRFC is a brilliant character and can't be a real person. If he is then I fear for the world. If he isn't then I applaud the genius that thought him up.

Lag you are definitely the best. You really do consider yourself a "beer connoisseur." HAHAHAHA !!! That's why I love you too. And that's why I love sipping on "The King of Beers" when around you guys. BTW, how's the shoulder? I'm back on the bike, but sticking to fire roads. Hey, at least I'm riding.

That's RAD your back on the bike Mr. McStackton. Seriously, it gives me hope because you didnt seperate it that long ago. What was the date you did it? It has been 7 days, and it is hills and valleys. Sometimes, I feel great. Other times, I want to bang my head on my desk because I am such a stacker. A bunch of us went out Friday night to the Ducks v.s. Sharks game. Alcohol got the best of me and I passed out my Vicodin to my friends, and we were eating it like candy! It was rad! Now I am out of vike, but Friday was all about the rock-n rollin'. ;) Fresh stories for sure. I have mobility. The sling is causing my tricep muscle to spasm and pull from being in the same position. Then I take it out of the sling and my shoulder gets tired fast. At the end of the day, I just about switched back and forth (sling/no sling)to the point of exhaustion. I am focusing on Moab. I think I can ride next weekend. How many days did you wear your sling?

In the sling for about three days. You are a drug pusher. Sharks are killing it in the West. "YOU'RE MY BOY BLUE!!!" I was off the bike for about two weeks. With all this beer drinking you must resemble a bowling ball by now.

One week, still in the sling.(3 days wadsworth?) Vicodin rules, especially with beer and in large amounts. Sharks and their stupid colors can pound sand. ;) Sweet, looks like we can ride fireroads together next weekend. (shhh, dont tell anyone) I look more like a injured, drunk meatball.

Brah, you aren't riding for at least another month, perhaps a couple months. Sorry. Full subluxation is gonna mean a lot of rehab, otherwise that thing will just pop out more often, and for sure require surgery. On a lighter note, you can still hold a beer with your good arm, provided you don't have a stick stuck in that palm.

We will just have to see what Dr. G-Baum has to say. I will convince the Dr. that, holding onto the bike and lifting up to go over doubles on my new DJ bike is a nice way to rehab the muscles. ;) If you are right, I am stunned. I dont want to think about it. Someone, hand me a beer! Must..not..think...ugh.

Brah, trust me, you're not riding next weekend. Dr. G is the only doc I've ever trusted enough to obey (somewhat) his orders. Good luck in PT for the next month.

Good luck Endo-my-friendo. I hope your arm boo-boos heal. I'm not your doctor, but I'm pretty sure a couple Stone brews are what should be prescribed for treatment of scraped elbows and bruised egos. ;-)

Stella needs really clean pipes and must be cold. If the pipes aren't clean it tastes even worse than other pints with the same cruddy pipes. Served chilled on a hot day it's supreme and makes you more than tipsy but now I'm old I can't handle it. As an aside, in the UK it's got the nickname Wifebeater.

Maybe not the worst beer but the worst beer experience: It was too late when I realized my plastic cup of warm Milwaukee's Best (aka "The Beast")also contained a loogie and a cigarette butt...under similar circumstances, I'm not sure Guiness would've been any better.

This winter I got one of those Sam Adams variety packs, and the cranberry lager or maybe it was supposed to be a lambic, I don't remember, but thing was really horrid. I actually called up the number on the bottle and requested that they not make any more of it.
