Ran out of good beer today and don't feel like driving to the store so I'm drinking rolling rock. It's really not that bad.

I want to be schooled on this.

I have a bunch of this I bought under the assumption it contained Cantillon. This bottle is maybe 2013/14

I still see this on the shelf, i know( think I know) this was only Canillon for a short stint.

It does contain 20% Cantillon lambic but it's been discontinued since they sold out to Inbev. Grab as much as you can cause you're never gonna see it again.
 
Has anyone else experienced an alergic-type reaction to these extremely unfiltered beers? I've had hay fever-like reactions to a lot of these beers, and I can only think it has something to do with the sediment.
I have slowed my regularly drinking of hazy hoppy beers, which used to be very common for me, to a near halt because of this factor. I noticed my body does not like something- maybe the excessive hop matter, yeast cells, proteins, or perhaps all of the above. Strong hunch it is the hop matter, though.

Funny, I used to make these things frequently and now I barely touch them.

I'm not sure if anyone else has this issue, but if i drink too many of these hazy ass IPA's, i get really bad farts the next day, and sometimes diarrhea, which is ironic because it looks like i am drinking diarrhea

It pains me to talk **** on Voodoo but some of their unfiltered ipas put my sense of smell and taste on lock down. To the extent that I cant even breath through my nose half way through the can.
 
I don't have any problem drinking the good ones (HF, Tree House, Trillium) but a few of the more mediocre ones (Hoof Hearted is a particularly relevant example here) tend to give me "hop burps", where I will burp or hiccup and taste the really harsh, excessive dry-hopping. This will be combined with obvious indigestion/acid reflux.

When I drank Never & Again(DIPA aged on mangos) from Trillium, my throat started to itch and feel as if it was closing up. I feared it was an allergic reaction to urushiol(the chemical found on poison oak/ivy and mango skins). Ended up being just a really ****** IPA with wayyyy too much hop particulate.

I love that a year later people are still cracking open cans to see if the burn has gone away.

Large store in SC is featuring Wakefield for their weekly beer tasting. This is how their email hyping it up starts:

"From the brewery who put CrowdBrewed on the map"

Well, that's one way to put it...
'If you've ever been subject to the old 'hit it and quit it', this tasting is for you...'

The recent Omnipollo Milkshake IPAs are still revolting:

https://untappd.com/b/omnipollo-milkshake-ipa-breakfast/2225483

Favourite reviews include "Guys, what the ****" and "£11 I paid for this" (yes, these were just under $15 a tallboy... not a four pack, a single)
The strawberry one was drinkable but bad, the others were worse than that Never & Again Trillium abomination

I think they were like €11 per can here. Shop owner was giving them away because they were so terrible
 
That 'breakfast' version was one of the worst beers I've ever tried. That mango one was so burning I only managed about two sips...
 
On one hand, at least they recalled them. On the other, the statement also included the lines:

"there is nothing technically wrong with them"
"we had hoped they'd be better balanced at launch" (WHY NOT TRY OPENING ONE TO FIND OUT)
"please be advised that these beers are absolute hop bombs, and are best recommended for patrons who are enthusiastic about heavy hop loads and don't mind bitterness" (ie it's your fault for not being able to handle our beer)

Trillium pulls that **** too or says your palate is wrong.
