Anyone every return bad beer????

[Andrewtherooster]

I'm surprised it doesn't happen more often since my downtown bottle shop doesn't go through the craft beer very fast. Bells Hopslam will sit there for MONTHS. I usually buy one or two 6-packs for myself, but at almost $20 apiece, I'm not really willing to buy more.

There's a fancy-shmancy wine/beer specialty store near me that still has it from last year.

Well, I recently opened a 10$ bottle of Thiriez Extra (hopped saison).

well, i pour it in a glass, and a hug bug comes out. bee-like, but ive never seen one before. typical farmhouse beer!

i did not return it since i feel it was nto the stores fault. I should have taken a picture but i was too distraught, as this beer smelled so good

I have returned Grolsch because it was skunked, dude tried to argue with me that it was SUPPOSED to taste that way... I explained the process to him; hops, yadda yadda, photosynthesis, blah blah, mercaptans etc etc... he obviously didn't understand a word of what I said... I guess he just didn't know how to argue with me LOL

Grolsh is the most disgusting **** I've ever tasted. I bet it's meant to taste that way, which is terrible. It defines disgusting skunked macro euro beer.

I would, but have not had to as of yet.

I have returned a pint or two while eating out that were obviously not what I ordered (um, does this piss water look like a Sam to you?) or that were flat or skunked.

This one time at a Patriots game...

Drinking up BMCs most of the game (I know ) and for some reason switched to a different booth...tasted like there were dirty socks in the lines...made them re-pour twice before I made them give me my $8 bucks back (I said it, $8 BMCs)...moved on to another booth...mmmmmm, cold non-dirty sock BMC!!!!

About 3 weeks ago I bought a six pack of Thomas Hooker Noreaster to bring to a party. I took one out before anyone had one and it was the same undrinkable I had to warn everyone not to drink and go get another six pack I was pissed.

While visiting Minnesota, I picked up a six pack of Deschute's Inversion since it's not distributed in Nebraska only to later find out it was well out of date and quite skunked. I sent an email to Deschutes not to complain or anything, but just to let them know that they may have some beer on the shelf somewhere in Minnesota that could be out of date, and literally within 25 minutes I had an email from the brewery apologizing and saying they will be sending a refund ASAP. I will be buying more Deschutes the very next time I see it.

I have had atwater java porter and just recently their imperial amber both of which pours three fingers of beer and a fist of foam. Damn near takes 20 minutes to settle and it still tastes like ****. never again.

I would return a bad beer! The same as I would return a bad gallon of milk. I have sent back beer that were skunky that should not have been skunky several times.

Uh, no... Grolsch, when fresh, is a very nice Pils. If you have ever had it when it was right, you wouldn't say that

Grolsch is good stuff. I don't see what's to hate and never had a skunky bottle.

I haven't but a bartender at a top notch craft beer bar told me a story about getting a six pack of something, opening one and having it go gusher everywhere. He was able to return the remaining five. When he went back to that store a week later, there were 5 bottles of that same brand in the single bottle section ...

Makes you wonder what happens with other stuff that gets returned like food, clothes, etc.
