Style you will never brew?

[hammertoed]

IPA- not a hop head

 

[Grantman1]

Hefes or belgian ales. Anything with clove notes from the yeast makes me want to gag.

 

[lou2row]

california common. Tried anchor steam and didn't care for it.

 

[Robin0782]

Lagers. Sours. Fruit beers.

 

[Boy]

Wit and Barleywine. I'll probably try all the others at some point although I've never had a sour I liked.

 

[pickles]

I hate to say never, but Rauch beers don't do a thing for me.

 

[wSelwyn]

Something about shandy's I can't stand. I'm allll about hefeweizen's, cream ales and wheats. But I have never, and likely will never, make/like a shandy.

 

[1Q84]

Probably a lager. If only because I don't see myself ever wanting to buy the equipment to make it so.

 

[Proboscidea]

Pilsner. I've sampled 'em in an attempt to develop an appreciation. No sir, I didn't like it. I can't see myself making one, unless it's in a science-experiment kind of way (quest to make one of everything).

Plus, there's the whole lagering thing. And at the end, for your trouble, you end up with a bottle of what tastes to me like lite bodied sulfur pee.

 

[Thundercougarfalconbird]

I can't really think of any style I wouldn't EVER want to brew. I like nearly every style so long as the recipe and beer is well executed.
Maybe...Imperial wheat beer? I don't see myself doing that. Sam Adams version was just awful, like spiked cake frosting.
Sours are so worth the small amount of extra (in my case old) gear.

 

[spearko520]

did anyone mention diarrhea beer?

what's a shandy in your parlance? to me it's beer mixed with soda, if that's the case then i can guess what the 'something' is about them you cant stand- perhaps the soda?!

(not to be confused with the british 'hand shandy' that's more of an activity)

Yeah, I forgot about the ambiguity of the word "shandy".

I'm referring to one of the American versions, usually a lager or wheat ale mixed with lemonade pre-bottling.

 

[Nightbiker]

IPAs. I'm just not a fan -and no reason to brew something you don't like.
Of course, as my tastes change...

 

[MaltyGuy]

An IPA, I've brewed one before for a friend and I've drank a few in my day, but every IPA i've had has made me belch incredibly bad. I just can't take a night of burping those citrusy hops over and over.

 

[cheezydemon3]

IPA

I said I would never brew a pale ale but I am going to do a SN pale ale clone next. I love that beer.

SNPA is an IPA. They are trying to be avant garde by calling it a WAY over the top PA instead of a decent IPA.


Lagers. I just don't see the point.

 

[Indianhead_Brewer]

I would have to say fruit beers are at the top of my list of "not to brew", but I am also not a big fan of Scottish and Irish Ales.....there is just something about them that makes me want to gag.

 

[cyclogenesis]

Aussie Ales
Lambics
+1 on the really light largers or any really light (body, alc) beers
Fruit beer

 

[ktblunden]

At the moment I can't see myself doing most lagers (just not a fan) or any sours. You never know, though. I'm hesitant to say "never" just because I might get bored at some point or I might try a commercial example that I love so much I want to try to re-create it.

 

[EllisTX]

Any Belgian. I like subtle yeast flavors not for them to take over the beer.

either way, i'm with you

 

[cheezydemon3]

either way, i'm with you

Had Leinenkugel's Shandy at Red robin, it WAS lemonade. Freaking wierd.

I guess I like lemonade, so it wasn't gross, but I would brew hard lemonade first.

 

[Jayhem]

I have no intention to ever brew anything over 8% abv. I'll try most styles but I prefer about 8 styles and don't really need more variety than that.

 

[adamjackson]

American Lager, Light beers, Pilsener.

 

[jtakacs]

i highly doubt i'll ever brew a lager...

 

[PapsD]

Any belgian style beer. I can't stand that nasty bubblegum flavor.

Anything with rice or wheat especially weizen.

I brewed a CAP with rice and it always gave me a nasty hangover.

 

[mcwilcr]

Don't imagine I will ever brew a Lager, and I'm not a huge fan of IPA's so that is not likely to happen either but I cant in good conscience say with 100% certainty that I will never brew any specific style.

 

[Fennis]

Any type of wheat beer or one using a significant amount of wheat as the base grain. I just do not like them at all.

 

[rjwhite41]

I doubt I'll ever brew any sour or fruit beer. No Lambics for me.

 

[dbhokie]

I will never brew an IPA for myself. I like ale, and lager, I like growing hops, but If I just wanted to taste hops I'd eat them. Look a new IPA, they shoveled hops in it, yay. Can't taste anything else in the beer..yay
