A few weeks ago I tried Stones Smoked Porter and something was wrong with it. It tasted horrible. It was like drinking metal. I was planning to pour some into a marinade and I didn't feel good about it. 10 minutes after a sip it still lingered in my mouth. I talked with a friend who drinks nothing but arrogant bastards and he said that he has gotten bad bastards from them as well that sound like they had a rotten flavour and in fact that weekend he ended up getting another one.
Anyone else ever get bad beers? (I saw the milk stout posting that is what made me think about this).

I picked up a bottle of Puget Sound brewing's porter once from the grocery store, and it had soured. We're not talking lambic sour, closer to malt vinegar sour. Lot of "stuff" in the bottom too. One of the few times I've poured a beer down the drain.
 
There's a local microbrewery down the street from me, and sometimes their brews are on the sour side. I know quality control isn't a big deal in these small places, but my friends joke it's because they use river water from down here, and everytime the garbage plant upstream starts working the batches from that day taste a little funny...

I think Stone's Smoked Porter tastes bad no matter what. It's the only beer I ever remember pouring straight down the drain. Of course, I am crazy about all of the rest of the Stone lineup.
 
I was excited to find Flying Dog's "Snake Dog" IPA here a couple weeks ago. It's a nice IPA for the money. Turned out to be phenolic as hell. I couldn't handle it.
 
I got a case of Yards, a variety pack, and the whole case was bad. Half the bottles were gushers. I was in college at the time though so I choked them down... but I have never bought Yards since. Kind of a shame because a lot of people are telling me they are good now...
 
Have yet to have a bad new belgium beer, until now. I bought a sixer of the Saison specialty that came out about 4 or 6 months ago. what is in this beer to make it taste bad. Beer has a life of very few days in my fridge, but this lasted a month or so. What is in a Saison style that makes it flavor. I want to make sure I do not attempt any of these recipes.

Can't wait for: Loft ffrom the same Brewery Highly recommend
