What beers have you poured out?

[r2eng]

MattUpNorth: Wow, pouring Mirror Pond and Inversion? Musta' had some old skanky beer. These are really nice when fresh. Don't count them out yet!

AECHT SCHLENKERLA RAUCHBIER URBOCK

That is the one I dumped.

 

[remilard]

A couple of beers I really like are listed here. You guys are picky.

Other than bad beers (gusher bottles or draft beer that I am familiar with and were clearly being served bad) I think I have finished everything.

That Sam Adams Cherry Wheat is rough though.

Speaking of exaggerated cherry flavor, I was really underwhelmed by the New Glarus cherry beer I had heard so much about. I had to recruit a mule to bring that to me and it wasn't bad per se but I guess I don't care for cherry flavored beer (I really like some of the less sweet cherry flavored lambics and the rodenbach red or whatever it is called).

I have a serious problem with unbalanced beers. Sweet beers are really awful in my book and overly bitter beers that really don't have the balance to support them. That's why the Baltika line. Sam Adams is really not high on my list. I bought a Xmas 24 pack and still have 2 Cranberry Lambics, 3 Old Fezziwig, 2 Cream Stouts, 3 Porters, 3 Winter Lager and 3 Boston Lager. Really didn't realize that was the style of beer they made. I am not going to drink them, maybe the SWMBO will. Maybe I am just a West Coast style beer drinker. Though I am not a hophead so...

The Deschutes stuff was really not balanced. Overly bitter, not hopped but bitter. I will try anything again though. About to go over to Russian River right now though for a beer or two so it won't be tonight

When I was new to brewing I forgot that a buddy had borrowed my fermentation bucket. I decided to put a plastic garbage bag in a questionable bucket my fermenter. Garbage bags are sanitized in manufacture right?

Almost a full case of Grolsch bottles exploded. I even tasted one and it was the most disgusting thing iv ever tasted. Probably the closes iv ever come to tasting a turd.

Sam Adams Cranberry Lambic and Cherry Wheat...

I think Sam Adams Cherry Wheat is the only beer I've ever dumped. It tastes like cherry cough syrup. I'm all for robodosing, but if I'm gonna drink that crap, I want the other side-effects.

Homebrews, I've dumped three now. A way under-hopped, under-fermented barley wine, a way under-hopped, under-fermented chisswick bitter from the big brew day last year, and an Irish red with a pedio infection (tasted like sweat from a horse blanket).

 

[remilard]

I dumped a bunch of partial kegs (maybe 10 gallons total) when I moved a couple of years ago. The beer was fine, I just didn't want to move it. No way the truck was going to take pressurized containers let alone filled with alcohol. I ended up driving to avoid stressing out my cats but between them and us there cabin of the car was full and I chose to use the trunk for clothes and some bottles of liquor/wine/commercial beer.

 

[nowise]

Atwater Block Salvation IPA
Atwater Block Maibock

I wondered why they were $9.99 a case. I thought it would be at least drinkable. The ones that didn't explode in a foam volcano were absolutely disgusting.

 

[Rhoobarb]

I'm amazed at some of the beers folks deem dump-worthy. Bells? Surly? Rogue? New Holland? Celis? Whats wrong wih you people?! To each his own, I guess.

I disliked Stony's Vanilla Porter, SA Cranberry Lambic and Buffalo Bill's Pumpkin, but gave them away rather than dump them. I had some of that pizza beer at a beer fest and disliked it, too. I sampled some Leinenkugel's Fireside Nut Brown Ale at a meet-up of some local HBT'ers and we all agreed that, had we bought a sixer each, we would have dumped that.

The only beer I can remember dumping is Blue Moon Pumpkin Ale. Undrinkable!

I have a bock on tap that has a yeasty taste to it. I've brewed it very succesfully before, but I believe the yeast struggled to ferment this time around. It faced a couple of days of frigid temps in my garage and just never got the job done. My error. I've had it in the keezer conditioning for a couple of weeks. I'm gonna sample it tonight and if it hasn't improved, I'm dumping it. First homebrew I'll have ever dumped in 11+ years of brewing.

 

[linthat22]

Where do you live at in MI, and what kinds of beer do you like? I could give a few good recommendations for local stuff. I have to agree that I'm not a huge fan of the Oberon either, but you should give some of their others a try. Pick up some of the amber or two hearted ale. Founder's also makes some pretty tasty stuff.

One company in MI that sucks ass though is the Michigan Brewing Company. I bought a 12 pack sampler and was disappointed with every single beer in it. Freaking terrible. I wanted to dump it out! They all had the same underlying nasty flavor.

I can't believe that nobody has mentioned the bud Clamato yet! This crap is horrible! I would dump this out on somebody's shoes if they even handed it to me!

I live near St. Joe.

As for Bells, I've enjoyed Two Hearted Ale (it's alright), Kalamazoo Stout (not too shabby), and Hell Hath No Fury (was okay).

I do enjoy Boddingtons Pub Ale, very light flavor and frothy head.

What I really want is Yuengling. We just got it in Tennessee before I had to move and I can't anything close. I know some people think that it's swill, but I enjoy it. I miss the flavor it had. See I thought I was a hoppy type of person, but I'm not. One guy suggested that I prefer more malt. So I have no idea.

I'm sure I'll be schooled when I start looking into making my own, bu if you or anyone has any suggestions, please send them my way.

I'm all up for trying new beers.

 

[SeamusMac]

The only beer I've tried so far that I can say I have not enjoyed in THE LEAST is Fuller's Organic Honey Dew. Not my thing at all, it tasted like water that had Cheerios soaking in it. No bitterness or honey to be had.

 

[Medo]

Ahoy hoy,
I dont know if this falls under the pouring out, but I guess shooting it is close enough.
As a teen in the early 70s, back in Michigan we could get this just absolutely horrible, HORRIBLE beer called Goebel. It was basically cat urine in a can. It was so bad, just so bad, that it sold for .98 cents a 6 pack. At the age of 16 I could go into the local corner store and buy this crap. And then, my friends and I, who as teenagers actually had firearms in our cars, (oh my) would take this crap, let the cans sit in the sun for an hour or 2, then shake the hell out of them, then shoot them to watch them explode. And that was even when we had nothing for friday nights partying. It was that crappy and that expendable.
I shudder thinking about the horrid taste. Truly a pour outable beer if there ever was one.
FYI and a good day to you all....

Bud
Corona

Hite
O'Doul's
Buckner's
Miller Light, etc., but NEVER a German brew!!! :rockin:

 

[Boerderij_Kabouter]

I can say that I have never dumped a beer other than BMC or energy crap.

I had a 2006 Special Barleywine from Sprecher brewing in 06 that looking back must have had a particularly bad case of autolysis and spoilage... tasted like spoiled meat and hot garbage... worse thing I have even endured.

 

[BeernuT100]

Aecht Ochlenterla Rauchbier, still have 1 bottle left, maybe after 3 or 4 years it will be drinkable, doubt it.


Not my cup of tea

I will correct your spelling.

Aecht Schlenkerla Rauchbier. - The Original Man Who Walks with A Wobble Smoke Beer.

It won't get better. I would suggest marinating some chicken or pork chops and bake/grill them and be done with that beer.

I enjoy one now and then. Its a beer that needs food, something fatty like pork.

BTW - I will be pouring out a Cyser. Its infected.

 

[BeernuT100]

That's it, horrible stuff ~

[Jewrican]

Paulanor Salvador Double Bock - horrid IMO.

 

[Hammy71]

Dogfishhead 120 IPA..... managed to choke down about a third....

Quite possibly the worst would be.....

Midnight Wit by Legacy brewing....simply horrible....I think I only managed a couple of sips...then down the drain...

Blaspheme!!! I love me some smoke beer!

 

[BrianTheBrewer]

I dont dump beer...

 

[MashStirBrew]

The famous Caramel Vanilla Cream Ale recipe floating around. It tasted like vanilla cream soda with beer added. Kind of like a beer ice cream float. I couldn't get it down.

Same here. I just can't get past the vanilla aroma. Still have 4.8 gallons waiting for someone to come bottle. That or when I run out of empty kegs, down the drain she goes. Probably have to replace the o-rings in the keg as well.

Had a few already?

No shame in that, I've got 2 shots of Jameson's and 4 bottles of Guinness down so far. Friday nights are great when you get off work 3 hours early!

Cheers!

 

[gunhaver]

i've dumped a ton of beer. not going to waste calories and my taste buds on terrible beer. most recently Sam Adams Cranberry Lambic

 

[grammatron]

If this thread is any indication, it's safe to say the SA Cranberry Lambic is the most universally hated beer. Honestly, there isn't a single SA brew that I'm all that crazy about. I admire what they do, but I don't really like their beers.

 

[Kilgore_Trout]

I make it a point not to dump beers unless I absolutely have to. So far I've choked down everything I've brewed.

I will say that if anyone ever hands me a leinenkeugel nut brown I would probably turn it down, I choked down a 6 pack and it was absolutely awful. Easily the worst beer I've ever had, tasted like food coloring and nut extract. I'm convinced they make all their beers from the same base lager, just adding flavorings.

Maaaaan! I love these things! Its like the beer drinkers bloody mary. Not meant to drink a case at a time but its the only BMC i drink and like anymore. I do drink Bud ale for the bottles.....WoooooooH, now hear me out. Cant afford to buy a **** ton of the flying dog, dogfisk, funky chicken, snobby lobster etc.... Its the only BMC i can reasonably enjoy anymore(with recappable bottles).:rockin:

 

[alex_wilkosz]

Sprecher Pizza Beer...eyw

 

[Tiako]

One of my friends bought me some Steel reserve. Poured that out. But does that even count as beer?
