This is a pretty intense thread!
I wholeheartedly agree on DFH 120 minute. too cloying, to syrupy. just gross and overpriced. But I enjoy LOTS of other DFH beers.
I always tread lightly whenever NB comes out with something new. Fat Tire is so bleh, but so many of their specialty beers have been great. The Trip series has had some great surprises, although the southern hemisphere Trip was god awful.
People in the Seattle area cream all over themselves when they see Georgetown Manny's Pale Ale on tap, I think it's a WEAK version of the style and when I read an article about how the brewer's were "inspired" by SNPA I burst out laughing because I would take a pint of SNPA over Manny's ANY day. However, the Georgetown Porter (formerly known as 9# (Pronounced "nine-pound") Porter) is a FANTASTIC brew.
I hate magic hat. Period. Not only because it's bleh but also because they're litigious dicks. See above. Georgetown had to rename their beer because Magic Hat said it violated their copyright for Magic Hat #9 apricot pale ale. yeah, i always get confused between the two...
I don't like sour beers. I've tried some of what my sour beer friends say are "the best" and I don't like it. Although, it really weirds me out that something so gross DOES leave my mouth feeling cleansed and refreshed. Doesn't mean i like 'em, however.
It's very, very interesting that LOTS of the beers people list in this thread as not liking are some of my FAVORITES. Feel free to mail me any unopened SN Bigfoot, Ten Fidy, or Arrogant Bastard you have lying around.
