The "I'd nevervdrink that if it were ALL that was available" thread

[BQ&W]

OK, I’m going to be “that guy”
Nothing
There isn’t a beer I won’t drink. I can even enjoy a Bud Light at a football or hockey game. If I want beer I can be happy with whatever is available.

I am on a life long search for an undrinkable beer. So far, no luck!

 

[Barbarossa]

Any American lager. Or any watered down beer. I think we should bring back the Babylonian Hammurabi's law and drown the big commercial brewers in their own ****** diluted beer.

 

[Bluekat]

Plain old blue label Bud Light.

BrewDog – Layer Cake (pastry stout)

Overly sweet, tastes absolutely artificial. After the first sip, I wasn't sure if it was gross or "weird but good" (like pancakes with bacon and maple syrup). I waited a bit, took a second sip, then dumped the rest down the drain and rinsed my mouth.

I've had the same experience with Amundsen's blueberry pancake stack, that was the last drop that steered me away from trying anymore dumb pastry stouts. Altough Omnipollo Noa pecan mudcake stout is a masterpiece.

Outback

My wife waited and tended bar at the Outback store near us. They kept the menu reasonably small for better quality control. The steaks are solid for the price.

I haven't had Blue Moon in quite a while but I thought it was good and flavorful.

My "I'd never drink that if that were all that was available" is:
Coors Light.
I was actually in a position where that exact situation did occur. Playing in a baseball tournament in/around Fort Erie in Canada (near Niagra Falls), Coors light was a sponsor. Took a sip and said, "NO!" and bought my own and turning down free beer for the first time in my life.

 

[JimRausch]

I've accepted a regular Bud when my host doesn't have anything else, but Bud Light? Nope. No Thank You, I'm good.

GIN!!

watch it there buddy! i love Gin! when i was a teenager, i'd drink beefeater like it was water, straight from the bottle! lol

 

[Steveruch]

you take that back....

That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

GIN!!

Gin can be a bit of an acquired taste. It's that resiny flavor many people don't like on their first few encounters. As with many things, give it a few tries, it may grow on you. Have you tried a Gin Martini?

I'm with you, I love Gin, too.
Now, did you really like it the first time you had it? Or did desperation ("the only thing around") play a factor?

I "inherited" someone's liquor cabinet. At some point I "forced myself" to drink mint liquor.
It still may be best in ice cream with dark chocolate poured over it.

I hope this doesn’t generate any anger, but anything described as hazy and juicy. I love IPAs but I can just add some milk to grapefruit juice and get similar results.

I learned to like both Gin and Olympia at a friend's frat party I went to many years ago. He bought the cheapest liquor and keg he could. Nothing else there. And they only had limes, no lemons. So we did lime drop shots. At least we didn't have to substitute salt for sugar.

Anything carried by Sam's Club

Our Sams Clubs carry about any macro you can find, plus your New Belgiums, SNPA, Sam Adams, etc.

Heck, they even carry some local craft beers as well.

 

[shelly_belly]

Any beer brewed with wheat!!! And I can even drink a Bud Light, just to be polite. But no way will a wheat beer pass over my lips.

I used to think the same until I had a Lagunitas Lil Sumpin. I enjoyed it for while before I even realized that it was a wheat beer.

 

[bkboiler]

Widmer Hefeweizen.
Not that the flavor is bad.
I just had to much of it once when I was younger and learned one of the reasons why German brewers say "Weißbier, Scheißbier". Can't get the association out of my head...just don't enjoy it anymore.

Redundant statement. Martini = Gin. There is no other legit martini, just posers served in a Martini glass.

 

[hotbeer]

Is it being given to me or do I have to pay for it?

Makes a big difference, IMO.

 

[Ogilthorpe2]

While I like some of them, I’ve had a few Sours that were too sour for me able to finish, and I have yet to have a Milkshake IPA that I find even remotely palatable.

 

[WesBrew]

No dubbels triples or Quads. Also hate coors lite!

 

[bwible]

Pumpkin beer. Any of them. They’ll be all over the shelves any day now if they’re not already.

Gueze. Makes me wretch. My wife called it dirty sock beer.

 

[Jayjay1976]

Leffe blonde. I used to really like that beer but last few times I tried it, there was a sickeningly sweet artificial vanilla flavor that very nearly triggered my gag reflex. And anything from Budweiser.

 

[monkeymath]

I think a good geuze is one of life's greatest joys - but I get how one might hate it. I guess most people feel strongly about this style.

 

[Brew_Dude41]

Any pumpkin beer or sour is a hard pass for me.

 

[T Murph]

I’d choose black label over Bud. There‘s something about the flavor of Bud I have never liked.

I agree with your assessment on Pubwriser, I believe it is the flavor, or lack of, that totally turns me off. However back in the 80s I visited their breweries in St Louis and Tampa and the samples they gave us were actually good.

 

[Tobor_8thMan]

An now this year's SAM Utopia is illegal in states due to 28% ABV!

[day_trippr]

^fwiw, it's actually only 15 states^

I bet every Utopias vintage has run into the same restrictions.
On the up side, more for the saner states

Cheers!

 

[Cyclman]

Mickey’s. Makes me gag just to type it. And Rolling Rock…ugh.

TOTALLY AGREE!

 

[T Murph]

@Alan Reginato you are exactly correct. I can't drink them either. I hate when I visit friends or relatives and they offer up a lame ass American lager. I fail to understand how so many people find that swill drinkable.

 

[Lynxpilot]

Stag and Mickey Malt for sure. Also, as previous posters have stated, american light lagers.
