I had Sam Adams cherry wheat a couple years ago and it tasted pretty good. Last years though was cough syrup. Maybe they changed the recipe?

Do any of you guys remember the "generic" beer phase from the mids 80's? We used to get cases of this stuff and head out to the drive in movie. You weren't supposed to have alcohol but nobody ever cared. We'd drink it right out in the open.
I don't know who actually brewed this stuff, but it was generally pretty foul.
dankev said:It's still probably better than piss beer, but as far as micros go, I bought a 4 pack of Mad River Double Dread imperial red. It was almost undrinkable. I gave 1 away and have 2 sitting in my fridge, taunting me. There were huge chunks floating in it, and the taste was pretty nasty. I don't remember the specifics, since it was a couple months ago, but it was downright unpleasant. It gets mostly good reviews on beeradvocate, with some bad reviews, so I suppose it's possible they had a bad batch.

Crazy Ed's Cave Creek Chili Beer. You know, the ones in the clear bottle with the sickly-looking jalapeno at the bottom. I tried one at an "everybody bring a 6-pack of something random" beer party, so thankfully I didn't have to pay for it. It's like a skunky Corona Light with a bunch of Tabasco sauce in it. I got about 1/4 of the bottle down and dumped the rest in the yard, but my stomach felt horrible the rest of the night.
Leinenkugel's Berry Weiss is like that too. Thick, syrupy, and way too sweet IMHO.
Lost Abbey's Angel's Share Brandy Barrel-Aged. Simply awful. Just spent a ton of money on this and it was completely flat and oxidized up the wazzoo. This one was a big surprise and a real learning experience. It's a damn shame, too. The flavor potential is really there with the dark fruit, rich big-hearted malt and caramel tones, but everything surrounding it is awful. Super boozy, stale, and flat as my tap water. Felt like I had poured myself and my fiance a pint of cheap weak thick brandy.
Might be salvageable as a base for a reduction sauce for some red meat dish, on the up side!
Anyone else try this beer? Super gross!
Just want to say again that Shlitz is by far the worst beer ever.

GRBrewer said:Have any of you guys tried Simpler Times Lager made by Minhas Craft Brewery Its very very sweet, and tastes a little like corn. Really nasty stuff when it comes to being beer. But hey, at 6.2% abv...its not all bad.
Good lord... according to this thread, SA makes at least 40 different beers, and they all suck.
I tried "Milwaukee's Best Light" the other night and ended with disastrous results. I am in the military and when we're moving inbetween locations, we come up with some weird ideas to fill the empty time inbetween. I was once dared to drink Air Conditioner condensation water. I went through with it and regret it since. But not as much as I regret drinking MBL. That stuff literally made air conditioner condensation seem preferable. Crazy to realize some people drink that stuff on a regular basis.
The BEAST has always been my least favorite but having stayed away from it for so many years I completely forgot about it...
i can only conclude you were already completely wasted when the van broke down. only a person who's blind drunk could ever consider gary, indiana a "beautiful little city".About 10 years ago my old band was playing a gig in Lansing and then another in Detroit on back to back nights. So we begin the long, fun drive from Madison to Detroit. Our van breaks down in Gary, Indiana which is a beautiful little city and we have it towed to a mechanic. After several Deliverance-like hours we're back on the road again but have no chance in hell of making the Lansing gig. We get there in time to see one of the other bands and play pinball after 15 minutes of which we hit the road to find a hotel. And beer.
We bought a 24 pack of Strohs after running over a gigantic dead raccoon.
Long story short, we got tanked on Strohs at 3 in the morning in the hotel room, trashed it, watched our vocalist and guitarist fight and roll around in the freshly ordered pizza from a Gumby's imitator, laughed at the guitarist (who we locked out of the room for being too drunk for even us to stand) outside the room screaming to be let back in, and then all passed out.
I will never drink Strohs again.
Yes, I got the pizza fight on tape: YouTube - Don vs Luck
