People who say a certain beer sucks... suck

[LandoLincoln]

objectively[/B] flawed.

There is no such thing as an objective flaw as far as taste of beer goes. Style guidelines are only guidelines.

It's all Opinions People....If I have a beer that i like in my fridge that I offer to a friend and they say "this is awful" I smile and say....Yup they do and then get one for myself. More beer for yourself is never a bad thing.

makes me mad when i let someone try a beer and they tell me "that taste like straight piss, just give me a bud light and i'm happy." Yes, i guess you are happy since ignorance is bliss. I'm sure that bud light and the beer they just tasted was probably the only 2 beers they have ever tried.

I will reserve the right to use the phrase, "This beer SUCKS!" when I do not like a beer. It's implied to be a personal opinion.

My feelings exactly.

The saying "This Sucks" is very personally specific. If you trip on a rock in a parking lot and fall on your arse in front of a group of people "This sucks!" to you but it's pretty entertaining for the rest of us.

Why are there such rocks in the parking lot? Is it being used as rock storage?

I think you're conflating "objective flaw" with "hews to style".

The latter could be subjective (how much clove in a hefe is correct, for instance); but if the former involves, say green apple, an outright/unintended infection, or Band-Aids, those would be purely objective flaws...

Cheers!

And yet they stick around because people drink them. So to them, they don't suck. Even if they are flawed.

have you been drinking at The Firehouse in Rapid City, SD?

edit: and beers are like opinions are like a-holes. you should never put things that don't belong in them into them. tomato juice doesn't go into opinions, shampoo bottles don't go in beer, and barley doesn't belong in your butt! bank on it!

This thread has gone from suck to blow.....

Anyway, using the term suck (in general) shows a marked pocity of intellect. I much prefer to say a beer "completely blows" than "completely sucks." It's classy.

Agreed. But I'm talking about off flavors, not simple style or recipe issues.

Granted, one yeast's off flavors are another yeast's saison, but I can't imagine that these are intentional.

Bought a Magic Hat sampler about 6 months back. There were 3 cucumber hibiscus beers in it. I tasted one and poured it out. Just was not for me. I left the other 2 in the garage fridge and there they sat. It became a bet to see who came over that would drink them. Two separate friends on separate occasions felt the same way I did. I just don't think flowers and vegi's should be mixed with beer.

What about dandelions?
