Can't say I agree on Goose Island. I enjoy most of their stuff. I'm probably a bit biased due to my location.
Your first clue should have been maple . No way should this ever be in a beer or anything else I am eating or drinking . Next Bacon . Bacon ? WTF ? Yuk . Was you planning on frying this up and having it with eggs and pancakes ?
Let me sum this up for everyone who thinks about drinking a beer with maple , bacon , cod , beef, rat droppings or other non beer items in it ....YUK YUK YUK YUK YUK ! Gag me with a spoon , YUK.
3. Lagunitas IPA - something about it rubbed me the wrong way and I love hoppy beers.
I also was not a fan either. Wouldn't say it's on my list of "worst", but wouldn't buy it again. It was not even hoppy to me and tasted more like a wheat beer than anything else.
My worst was by far Flying Dog's Pearl Necklace. This was my first, and probably last, oyster stout. I like oysters. I like stouts. But I like to keep the two separated. Left a funky aftertaste.

1. Agree completely. The summer beer is the same.1. Anchor Steam - I hate it, no redeeming qualities to me
2. Anything Leinenkugel (not really craft, but they try to pretend to be)

Can't expect much from goose island...that stuff is all mediocre at best. Same page as Sam Adams in my book.
I had had a few of the other Flying Dog's that I really liked so I'm like "Let's try this, I love stouts". Should've gotten it in a pick six rather than an entire 6 pack. In terms of crafts, yeah its probably the worst I've had, but for me it was more because it didn't seem special to me at all.
Took first sip, oh, kind of stouty, ok, thats good. Took second sip, rolled it around in my mouth, still, just, kind of stouty. When I realized it wasn't going to be much of anything after that I just jumped on my computer and played some video games while downing the rest of the six pack. Made the beer taste better.
Disclaimer: I never pour a beer out, if I'm about to sit down to try a couple crafty beers, and the first one turns out to be junk, I just down that and move to drinking one of my stand-bys and get drunk (Old Chub, I can't get enough of this).

WesleyS said:I personally think a good deal of it is influenced by hatred for AB. I'm not saying Goose Island is the best thing out there, but I've never had one of their beers that was bad or anywhere near something I'd include in a list of worst craft beer. I guarantee there were people drinking it just fine up until the moment they learned of the ownership shift and then immediately said they could taste the difference.
I'm not sure this is the worst commercial craft brew I've had, but I had Roscoe's Hop House IPA a couple weeks ago and couldn't finish it. Had to put it down the drain.
Thankfully, I bought it as a single.
Roscoe's isn't contract brewed for whole foods; I've seen it in our local grocery store. That' being said, thanks for steering me away from it!
Whaaa?!?!? Drifter is a great Pale Ale, in my opinion! To each their own, I guess
Upland brewery helios pale ale. Ive never tasted so much diacetyl in my life. They are in bloomington indiana (home of INDIANA UNIVERSITY) I go to purdue, but this plays no bias in this case. The brewery is said to make awesome lambics but most all of the "regular" beers they make are terrible. Most are bland. But helios pale is terrible. I havent had a beer thats been worse. I recomend you all to try it so you can learn how not to make beer.
I have been struggling to make a good IPA (all of mine suck so far) but id rather drink my worse ipa vs their butterscotch infested helios. Makes me really think they care 0% about their product, that is a flavor that should have been weeded out in their trial batches
There is this place called Dempseys in South Dakota and they make the most disgusting beer I have tasted. Everything is old/stale and has bad off flavors of butter.
I can honestly say that Rogues Bacon Maple beer is the ONLY craft beer that I have poured out. I literally could not drink it. Worst craft beer ever...
Buffalo chocolate stout. Hardley a taste worth of chocolate. Willie Wonka would be disapointed. No flavor of any stout either. Disapointing. The price. Forget it. Not worth it. . & Lagauntias, cappacuino stout? Coffee stout. Was not the hype the label made it out to be. Burnt coffee with flat coke. "strong flavor" it was not. Maybe it's just me. I like a great strong dark stout, porter, ale.
1. Agree completely. The summer beer is the same.
2. Poorly made and sickly sweet.
3. If I had this offering from the first, I would have turned away their other great beers. Not my fav.
Was that the chili one? I hated it. I am a bit different than most on here though that I hate spices and fruits in my beers.Back in black, or vertical epic 2011, when fresh, not aged.
On Lagunita's: it's pretty much why I haven't had any of their others. I should try out some of them and see if they are more to my liking.
Hey and if you do, you aren't breaking the bank. I love Maximus, Shut Down Ale, Sucks Ale, and my fave, Hop Stoopid.
I think an argument could be made that there's a good reason humans moved on from that drink.Finally, someone who agrees with me!
I thought I was alone in thinking that one majorly sucked.
The one in NOLA is not as bad as you describe, maybe it's the brew master at fault? (I've noticed something similar with BJ's, some of them have decent beer, others have utter ****).Gordon Biersch looked at this place all week in las vegas last month while working a trade show. Finally got to go the last day. Absolutely the most horrible beer I have ever tasted. Supposedly a czech pilsner it was Stale, sour, & flat, not under carbed, flat no head no lacing just nasty my coworker said you make better beer than this in you garage he had the marzen . I drank BL form a keg that had been floating in pool for a week after HS graduation and it tasted better than that. But the food was good.
