I have what has often been referred to as a "cast iron stomach." If it's beer, or fairly close, I can drink it. No matter how terrible, skunky, or flavorless a beer is, I simply refuse to pour it out.
Don't get me wrong, I don't buy BMC anymore unless funds are really tight. If I'm at a party, a bar, or other social event where BMC is all that's available, I'll drink it without complaint. I try not to be a beer snob, so I just think of it as "getting back to my roots."
The one and only time I've refused to drink beer was "B to the E," Budwiesers attempt at an energy beer. A friend of mine used to swear by this stuff. "Drink a few before you go out," he'd say, "it tastes great, and it'll keep you up all night!"
Wrong on both counts. Seriously, take a large glass. Pour in about 4 ounces of Bud, and add in an entire can of Redbull. Then, with bucket, toilet, sink, or other vomit receptacle nearby, drink it. This truly is a beer for the masochist. I bought a 4-pack of cans (16 oz each, I believe) and poured out three and a half of them. I just could not force myself to drink it, no matter how hard I tried.
So, have you ever found beers that you simply cannot bring yourself to drink? Was it a homebrew that turned out terrible, or store-bought? Tell your horror stories here.
