As for the person who said La Terrible from Unibroue, you must've had a spoiled bottle of it or something because it's quite an awesome beer.
Agreed. Terrible is amazing. Hope that doesn't confuse anyone.

Redhook variety pack was the worst set of beers i have had. It had an ipa, pilsner, copper, and pale ale. Each one tasted the same which was crap! I believe it was the store mishandling it, maybe exposing it to too much heat. I contacted redhook and they couldn't do anything

I must say newcastle werewolf tasted like mud water or something.
Hands down the worst was Rogue's Voodoo bacon maple beer.
We drove three hours away to give it a try. I didn't think it was going to be a new favorite, but it sounded interesting.
We sat down and each ordered a bottle. My buddy drank all his, I had less than half of mine before I just couldn't take it any more. I asked for a strong stout to get the taste out of my mouth.
On the plus side they had many more beers that were great.
They were out of barley wine, the one cask conditioned beer was too sweet and the mead tasted like cider but everything else was great. I tried about ten of them.

I like their Honkers Ale quite a bit for what it is. Their IPA is not top of the line, but pretty good.
I vaguely remember being drunk off my a$$ in college (just once, honest Mom!) and a distributor came in and said he had just lined up a new brewery and he wanted to buy everyone a drink. They rolled in a keg and hooked it up to one of the taps and started handing them out. *Lots* of people didn't finish them, and this was in a college bar around 10PM. So you *know* that stuff was bad.
Worst one I can remember was Dixie Blackened Voodoo. Tasted like a burnt shoe with a hint of old sweatsock, and no body whatsoever. Bought a whole case of it (I'm in PA) and I think I still had 4-5 bottles sitting on a shelf when I moved over a year later.
Was very disappointed with Rogue Dead Guy Ale too, although I'm willing to give it another try sometime. Had it when I lived in Portland, so I don't think it was an issue with travel or storage.
Worst beer ever is a flat tire or perhaps that nasty IPA I bought and almost barfed and dumped it down the sink , can not remember the name but I will remember to never again buy a bottle that says IPA on the it .
MarcusKillion said:I tried a chili pepper beer that had a chili in it . Some Mexican garbage I guess . Looked like a cerveza . Horrible to the Extreme should have been the name of it .
On the good side of things the two beers I tried last night were quite good .
Dont remember the name but tried a Grape Fruit Wheat one time at Old Chicago....worst ever
MarcusKillion said:So just to be fair since I had not drank a voodoo in many years and back then was guzzling large amounts of Old English 800, spiced rum etc all day long I thought I would give it a good go and went and bought a Dixie Blackened Voodoo . I am drinking it now . I must say it is quite tasty . Not bitter as I remembered . A strong chocolate coffee taste . A bit on the sweet side . Nice of hop flavor .
I think when I try my AG D.B.V. I might add in a more bitter hop .
I will be testing also a Samuel Adams Chocolate bock and a Murphy's red ale . If they taste horrible I will post the results
I've had great beers at all the Raleigh area breweries so I didn't think twice about buying tickets to a wing festival at Roth Brewing a few weeks ago. The wings were okay but the beers, and I tried 3, were awful.
Their cinnamon porter had overwhelming hot fusels that gave the beer a cinnamon rubbing alcohol taste. The Raleigh Red, an amber, was bland and watery with zero hop flavor and aroma. The honey hefeweizen was drinkable but crystal clear with no hefeweizen characteristics.
I felt bad for all the hipsters drinking these beers and trying to act like the beers were great.
The Roth Foehammer is pretty good I thought. Everything else by them is pretty terrible especially when there is a ton of craft brews made in the Raleigh area that are great.
Rogue dead guy ale at a Buffalo Wild Wings .. It was nearly flat and dull. I don't know if it was flat and stale but it sure tasted like it, and ill be damned if I ever order one again.
Since I've started home brewing and appreciate hops more even yeungling is tasteless(and overly mAlty) to me
dead guy is pretty damn good in my opinion. Go somewhere that cleans their beer lines and has higher turnover.
It is funny to see this many Sam Adams beers on here. I always liked the company idea and their message etc. but darned if I ever liked ANY of their beers.
Agreed... the only Sam Adams I seem to like is the original.
Maybe they just over do it? Maybe th beer tastes great fresh, out of the tap at the brew house... but it sure doesnt age well in the bottles.
I had their Hop special variety last night... Was drinking the Noble Pils with 5 noble hops in it... it was rich in hops... but jeez... who wants too much hop in a beer? If I tricked myself into liking it, it still would only be okay.
So to your point, yes, Sam Adams puts out some real questionable beers. Maybe they are over doing it?

For some reason I really like SA Cherry Wheat. The worst Craft brew I have had in recent memory was Green Flash Rayon Vert. I thought it was absolutly terrible. Reminded me of barf... Straight up. Maybe its an acquired taste.
