What do you do with your extra "sample that" beers?

Ahoy hoy,
I make it a point of trying to buy at least one new beer a week, just to taste for recipe making sake, if nothing else. I have found that there are a few beers that just are not quite my forte'. Because of this, every couple of months I end up with a variety case of various beers that I just couldnt drink while I had something much better on hand. I have found that I usually give this case of beer to a local charity...my boss, the guy i work with thats building his log cabin, or anyone else willing to take it off my hand. The truth is, I dont have room for beer Im not a drinking. I have 10 cases of beer stacked around as it is I have to go through, so anything thats not on the drool list hits the road. I also give away homebrews that didnt quite tickle my fancy.
I just wondered if others dumped...I mean gave with a smile, their not so favorite beers to friends and family with no malious or afore thought
I bid you all a great day!

 

Most beer I try, I try at the local bar first. there are bottles I see out and about that I want to give a go and I pick them up too, but there's not really mucch beer I buy without prior knowledge of it at least being drinkable.

 

I throw a party or do a poker night. Guests bring the food, I provide the beer.

 

I'm a drinker, so sooner or later every beer goes down the hatch.

 

Yeah, me too. If I try something I'm not familiar with, I only buy 1 bottle or can.

 

I just buck up and drink it. You spent the money, might as well use it.

 

I can buy singles beers all the time - have over 100 on my wall at the moment and can get to 200 I believe.

 

A while back I happened to be making a rare excursion to a wet city, 40 miles one way, and decided to stock my larder up a bit with wine.

While there I decide to try some Samuel Adams that I have heard, and keep hearing, so much about.

I just randomly grabbed six of the Cream Stout.

Yeucccck!!!

I gave the other five to a neighbor, he drank one, and brought the other four back, saying thanks, but NO thanks.

So I forced them down, one at a time, every three or four days, till they were gone.

It's just like Ed Wort says about rating Apfelwein, drink three of them before you try to decide if it's good or not.

Oh, they all still sucked, but the last one was a LOT better than the first one.

Pogo

 

I just buy one or two... mostly 22oz'ers, but sometimes 12's.

Saves pawning or re-gifting beer... Although I would like to find someone with the opposite taste to mine in a nearby town!

 

save them for gift exchanges with co-workers
or HBT'ers.

wait,
ummm

 

If I pay money, I'm definitely drinkin the 6er or whatever amount of beer I bought. Usually a 6er. If not I throw the bottles to my other brewers (friends) that I hang with, they all appreciate a new beer.

peace and love.

I drink it when I'm desperate, or when I'm already drunk.
