What craft beer do you secretly despise?

[Pyg]

Picked up some Sculpin.
I don't despise it, it is very good.
But not nearly as good as the $15.99 per 6pack my beverage center sold them for!

Ska brewing mole stout..wtf were they thinking.....

Was it mole (mo-lay) like the spicy Mexican chocolate sauce? Or was it mole (mo-el) like the rodent that burrows in the garden?

All of them?

I really dislike Harpoon Winter Warmer and Shipyard Pumpkin Ale (Really any Pumpkin Inspired Beer). They are probably the 2 worst beers I have ever had IMHO.

 

[Oberon67]

Most anything from Mother Earth Brewing. I don't like the flavor of the yeast they use, which is kind of their calling card... tastes slightly soapy to me, like it needs more aging.

 

[blackbeer]

magic hat anything. every one that i have tried has been bland or whacked somehow. the worst thing is that someone saw me drinking one of their awful #9's one time and bought me a friggen case for doing them a favor!!

 

[Carusoat]

I used to love #9, but the last couple times I've had it I swear it tastes different. Anyways, I'm not a fan of DFH 90 or 120, anything by Brooklyn Brewing, and I would have said Shipyard, but their Black IPA is spot on. I had Old Rasputin once and wasn't a fan either.

 

[Oberon67]

Dogfish Head makes way too many different beers to dislike them categorically. Their Palo Santo Marron is really quite excellent.

Brooklyn Pilsner is actually a pretty well made beer. I'm not a big fan of most of their other beers.

Picked up a four pack of founders breakfast stout over the weekend. Never had it before and quite frankly didn't live up to the hype. Has a hot alcohol bite to it, minimal chocolate and coffee. Mostly acrid tasting, both at fridge temps and after it warms up. Bottled in November 2014.

 

[BigFloyd]

Love ESBs, but didn't care at all for Red Hook's ESB.

Orval. Guess it's an "acquired taste"

 

[Carusoat]

dfhar, I don't think I've tried that one. I'll pick some up and give em a chance. I think Saranac's Pilsner is one of the best ones I've personally had.

 

[dfhar]

Well, don't get your hopes up too high I certainly enjoy drinking it once in a while, but it's definitely not world class.

 

[ThomasPaine]

Sam Adams chocolate cherry bock makes me sick. Or at least made me sick the one time I tried it.

Keep it under six at a sitting. Just FYI.

Their bottles are great to reuse though. The labels fall off like nothing.

 

[gratefulfloyd]

Pyramid Outburst is pretty disgusting to me

 

[biertourist]

Any craft beer that's cloudy but isn't supposed to be. WTF is wrong with you Seattle?!? Mac and Jacks and Manny's really? Why do you let brewers just be out and out lazy like that?


The highest rated craft beer that I secretly despise? Goose Island Bourbon County Stout - it's like adding vodka and rubbing alcohol to a double shot of espresso -WHY? Large amounts of roast and alcohol burn without anything to balance it is awful -and RIS is my favorite style of beer; just not BCS.


And I'm attracting more hate but the Duchess... -No beer should have that much acetic; that's malt vinegar, not beer.


Avery Anniversary 15 - seriously tastes like there's 3 dead mice in every bottle; worst beer containing Bret EVER (and again, I like most modern Bret beers).


And the 2005 version of THIS jalapeno beer; more jalapeno than beer: http://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/5443/25971/

I work at a "fine" food store and I got selected to be on the beer selection team. It's great I get paid to drink beer with cool people. However we get samples from new breweries. It's insane how many send out samples with such crazy problems.

 

[wardens355]

Anyone else tired of this Barq's Beer? It is supposed to have "bite", but whenever I drink a 6er I just lay on the floor moaning like a schoolboy after Halloween.

I actually have a few 120 mins aging alongside a narwhal and Bigfoot going to do a year by year comparison eventually

 

[RevKev]

I'm all honesty I think some breweries should not allow the brewmasters to drink during work hours because some beer tastes like cat piss and I can't understand how anyone can drink it *cough* BEERCAMP *cough*

 

[max384]

I haven't found anything brewed by Goose Island that I don't dislike. I really find their beers mediocre at best. I don't understand how they're so popular honestly.

 

[day_trippr]

"Despise" might be too harsh, but out of every purported "craft" beer I've ever had, the entire crushingly mediocre Southern Tier repertoire falls into my "No Respect" bin.

Fortunately, they're easily avoided...

Cheers!

I think this is a good spot to point out once again how amazing it is that our personal taste can be so different, yet we all seem to have a shared love for craft beer.

What is this fit of reasonable, rational thinking??? Who hacked Billy's account?

Sierra Nevada Hop Hunter...I was excited to try it, I was sad I did.

Concur w/ this. I gave it a couple of tries & was underwhelmed!
