Beers that get you sick

Rouges Chipotle Ale...

 

[John Beere]

I almost started a similar thread about this a few days ago.. I can drink most any beer (BMC included) and handle it just fine, but *ANYTHING* from New Belgium makes me nearly incapacitated the following day.

The distributor is a good friend of mine and he will bring different beers of theirs over to try regularly. At first it was Fat Tire.. three beers and I had the worst hangover I've ever had in my life. So I tried it again and the same thing happened. Then I tried it once more with no other alcohol just to make sure.. same thing. Then I tried '2 Below'.. same thing. Then I finally learned my lesson with Ranger.. wasn't getting any of the warning signs so I drank several and nearly didn't survive the night.

I've thought long and hard about wth is going on.. Could it be I'm alergic to something they add to their beers? Could it be they ferment at higher temps, then pasteurize? Hell, I don't know (and I really want to know).. but I won't ever drink anything from them again. :-/

Mickey's
That should be all I have to say.
Ahh and Little Kings!!

Plus they taste like death.

+1.....Like a Moth Ball Smoothie!

Don't hate on the Mickey's

You can't drink malt licka and expect it to be kind to you.

Budweiser.

I've had all sorts of horrible beers, but surprisingly, the only one that will make me sick is Bud. One time, I even bought "born today Bud" that had little LED lights on the 6pack, that according to the advertisement would go out after 24 hours, so it proved the beer was freshest.

Needless to say, after one and a half, I became nauseated. I don't even remember the taste, but it left me reeling. Years later, on two other separate occasions, I suffered the same symptoms after trying Bud again.

Besides that...how would i have gotten through high school without it???

Miller Lite got me sick one St. Patty's Day. I had about 10 of them through out the day and I had a skull splitting headache and a hungover feeling while still being drunk. I took a nap to shake it off and ended up feeling worse afterward and then felt pretty bad the next 2 days.

 

[Zamial]

Any AH Busch product, any domestic "lite". Not that they make me physically ill but they have little to no flavor, unless yellow bubbly watered down beer is a flavor, and I do not like the taste (or lack of) of them...

I think I got a bad batch (at least I hope that is the excuse) of New Glarus "Dancing man wheat" that tasted like it was strained through a mountain of HOT, rotting garbage. Never again will I have one of those...

Point Belgian White, The 1st one was nice but about 3/4 of the way through My taste buds shifted violently and I realized the "flavor" I was tasting was coriander not hops, I could feel the spiciness of the coriander seeping into me, making me queezy....I tried one a day later and 1 sip made me almost vomit so I dumped it.

 

[steinsato]

Most pale american lagers instantly give me the hiccups. I can't drink PBR, Old Milwuakee Light or Keystone at all without getting the hiccups. A lot of the time those hiccups lead to vomitting, whether I'm drunk or not.

Me too. A few Budweisers and I'm sure to be sick. Nausea and rager headache. Not sure if its the acetaldehyde or what. Oddly enough, I can (and occasionally do) drink Bud Light all night. Just can't drink Bud.

 

[DeathBrewer]

You people are weird.

 

[Wrecked]

It's all fun and games until someone gets hurt. Then it's freaking hilarious!!!

My buddy has the same reaction as well. I haven't had a Budweiser in years so I don't know if it will effect me. There has to be something in it.

 

[DeathBrewer]

Artificial flavoring? Oh wait...there is no flavor...

Maybe it's overwhelming guilt that you are supporting those ******** when people are working so hard making GOOD beer.

 

[mojo2776]

Bud and Killian's always gave me headaches... which is why I haven't touched either in years.

 

[mojotele]

I've never had problems with a beer making me sick except for one.

I cannot stand the smell of Bud. I can drink it just fine, but I can't smell it. I've mentioned this before - to me, Bud smells like urine. I may be making that connection as I've been in too many dank stairwells where people who have gotten sloppy drunk off Bud have relieved themselves, I don't know. But that's how it smells to me.

The smell makes me sick, but I'm fine with the taste. It's a very strange thing.

Schlitz Red Bull - Used to drink it in college. $10.79 a case for 16 oz cans..... Didn't taste THAT bad... till the next morning (or whenever regained consciousness). Even experienced 40 oz'ers and had a 1/2 keg ordered for one party. 3 of us kicked a 1/4 keg by ourselves in one 20 hour period with a controlled buzz drinking rate...... yech!

 

[bentonre]

Actually one other I can't stand now is the Smell/Taste of Heineken in the US..... But was shocked....Heineken in the Netherlands on tap was completely different.

 

[maztec]

Had a buddy who used to work for Coors tell me that all of the mass produced lagers Bud/Coors/Miller have tons of preservatives and "natural flavors" added so they will stay on the shelf longer and "taste better". He said if people knew what went into them, they probably wouldn't be able to sell them. Too bad alcohol & beer companies aren't required to list ingredients on their bottles. Sure, most would say: "Yeast, wheat, barley, hops", but others.. they scare me.

isn't the U.S. heineken brewed in new jersey or canada now?

 

[Frank99]

New Belgium Fat Tire. This is a strange brew. On some occasions I've had it and thought it was pretty good. At other times I could barely finish the bottle without gagging. It always upsets my stomach, so I'm not sure what the story is with them.

 

[DeathBrewer]

Fat Tire is very inconsistent and ultimately meh.

 

[AviatorTroy]

Funny the replies about Shiner Bock. I actually don't mind it as a decent cheap beer, but if I drink, like, ONE, it gives me a huge headache AND roaring heartburn simultaneously.

And I once threw up after one gulp of Honey Brown. It was before I became enlightened but nonetheless, it is ten times too sweet and I gag just thinking about the stuff.

 

[KayaBrew]

Anything brewed by the Lake Placid Pub and Brewery. Terrible beer, hangover guaranteed.

 

[Bach7210]

Old Style, yuck!!

When I was in the service I lived in Indiana and drank Strohs fire brewed beer( whatever that meant). You could always tell who drank it the night before by the smell in the barracks and the residue on the sidewalk.

I actually don't care for any light brews like Bud. However, there are times when we are up north and doing a kayak trip that you just need to grab some cans of this crap. After drinking 5 or so cans of bud light on the river the guy with us hands me a Strohs. Wow it tasted so much better than the bud light. You could actually pick up on some hop flavor in this after drinking bud light. Now if you were drinking a good beer then tried the Strohs you would not taste it. But in comparison to other crappy beer the Strohs is really good.

I think all of these "sick" reactions to BMC are psychosomatic. I mean yeah, they taste like ****, but...

Perhaps, but some folks can't deal with drinking tons preservatives if they're not accustomed to it such as myself. I can see belly aching and getting sick feelings from drinking stuff that tastes bad, but a 2 day headache is probably something more.

 

[SpanishCastleAle]

I easily get hangovers from most commercial beer but can drink a ton of homebrew and not get one.
