There's an old but rediscovered thread discussing how to nicely let a brewer know that his beer sucks. As a BJCP judge and one of the elders in our club, I provide honest but gentle feedback myself.
But there's room to have a little fun with it. Most brewers have a great sense of humor and self-deprecation, and you may never deliver one of these "in anger", but the art of the creative beer insult can be highly entertaining.
To start off, two of my favorites. The first was something I heard and have never delivered, and my kudos to whoever first invented it. Best delivered with a bad British accent.
"Excuse me sir, but I believe your horse has diabetes."
The next one WAS delivered, and in order to be more gentle, was asked in the form of a question.
"Has your beer come in contact with any melted computer components?"
What are the best insults you've heard or delivered (hopefully not received!)?
