What craft beer do you secretly despise?

[IPAfreek]

DFH 120 Minute IPA...
I used to do a lot of work on the Delaware River, and being the HUGE hop head that I am, was constantly searching for this Holy Grail of IPA's. Every store I stopped at was either unwilling to sell me one because of the rarity of this beer, or just didn't have it. I finally found a liqour store that would sell me 2... at 18 bucks per 12 oz bottle. Got the beer home, chilled on to 40 degrees, the other to 44 degrees. I cracked the bottle, poured it into my special IPA glass, smelled, sipped and BAM! Disappointment. A little piece of me died that day... and 36 bucks plus tax broker...

Fat Tire.
Lagunitas IPA
Magic Hat
Delirium Tremens

i think dfh 120 is way too sweet. I let it age for at least a year before i drink it.

I like some dfh stuff. I like dfh 60, but for the most part they miss the mark with me. I used to buy a lot of their stuff, but i stopped.

I'm not a big fan of grape must and chai tea in my beer. :d

i feel like dfh would rather make wine.

+1

Everything made by Sierra Nevada
Most Barrel aged beers.
Overly hopped IPA's that play off the word "Dank"

Hopslam.

This. It's so hyped up and it's not even that good. I pretty much despise any craft beer that gets a lot of hype.

 

[Beer10287]

Agree with the Magic Hat dislike. Never understood what the hype was all about.

That's the most hipster thing I've read so far in this entire thread.

Stone Arrogant Bastard

Yeah, I'm not a fan of that beer, or beers that are similar to it (to me). I'd put SN Celebration in the category. I don't like drinking beers with crap-loads of crystal malt and crap-loads of C-hops, so sue me. Bigger beers in a similar vein like Double Bastard and SN Bigfoot really don't work for me.

Rogue Dead Guy... ugh

You should try Falls City Hipster Repellant IPA. good stuff.

 

[Pyg]

I am not a fan of any of the Sierra Nevada's.
However I heard enough good things about their Celebration Ale I bought a 6.

I also did the same with Founder's Breakfest Stout (but that is a gift)

I hope not to regret either choice..

 

[soccerdad]

I'm willing to buy anything named Hipster Repellent even if it tastes like doggy dookie.

I haven't tried this year's Celebration yet, but a lot of people on here have said it tastes "off" compared to previous years. Just something to keep in mind going in.

FBS, on the other hand, shouldn't disappoint.

Thanks, man!

Alright, I'll get more specific. I hate Mikkeller. They did a single hop series where they had 6 different single hopped beers in available in a 6 pack. Stores were charging like $20-25 a 6 pack... NO F*CKING WAY.

And Rogue...over rated, over priced, not that good.

I don't secretly despise anything. Like someone else said, I have no problem voicing my distaste. I've always been one to be an iconoclast, so........

I actually enjoyed it. My sixer did not last long.

I did not try it in previous years, however, so I don't know what it's "supposed" to taste like.

Ive had previous years, and they were really really good. This year's, like a lot of people have said is "off". Which IMO doesnt mean that its not good, its just not like previous versions. I actually bout a case at Costco and Im thoroughly enjoying them, so no complaints on my end

Did it taste like NyQuil? That's the gripe I've been hearing.

I had another IPA this year with a very distinct cherry Lifesaver/cough syrup hop flavor that, despite sounding odd, tasted pretty good. Maybe I'd actually enjoy it more than most.

 

[smizak]

I think Celebration is fantastic this year.

While far from despising, I'm getting irked with Stone's beers lately. Weird flavoring agents that don't work and just don't seem like honest beers. What happened to "nothing but water, barley, hops and yeast"

 

[Jeffries55]

I would say Zombie Dust, but it's no secret to anyone that knows me, that I despise that beer. The artwork is nice though.

 

[Zekk]

I am also a fan of this years SN Celebration. I got a 12 pack and have been slowly enjoying them.

I have to say I dislike Firestone Pale 31, and every barley wine I've tasted.

 

[Nummey]

I had an Anchor Steam beer over the weekend and it was lousy....tasted like an old gym sock stuffed inside a smelly sneaker and it got worse as it sat in the glass.
Don't tell anyone though as it's a secret!

 

[1977Brewer]

This is my first year on the SN Celebration train. I love it. If my bottle stockpile is accurate, I've had 48 of them since Feb 1st. Whoa. Good thing I'm about to start spending way less on beer.

I don't like anything I've had from Magic Hat, and seeing the posts about their business dealings here, I won't be trying any more.

 

[Yellowirenut]

I don't hide the fact I hate Three Floyds Zombie dust.
Guess I am not alone as I have seen 6 packs on the bottom shelf getting dusty at the liquor store.
Munster, IN is a 3 hour drive and I have no intentions to making a pilgrimage for any of there brews. I would rather go to SunKing in Indy.

I really don't care for Sun King. Do they ever package more than the 3 year-round ales?

 

[BADCL0WN]

Great Lakes Christmas Ale (and most other Christmas ale).

Tastes like I'm drinking a glass of potpourri.

 

[1977Brewer]

Christmas beers are the WORST. I just dodge them altogether. I have also quite successfully avoided pumpkin beer.

 

[NewJersey]

KBS. I live the beer, but hate the artificial,super short supply hoopla that accompanies its release every year. Totally over that bs

 

[NewJersey]

*love

 

[ubnserved]

Use to be anything from Empyrean Brewing. I actually hadn't had anything from them in 15 years or so when they were much smaller. Back then every time I tried anything they made I end up with a migraine even if it was less than a full beer. I think they have improved their brewing technique because I did have a Third Stone from them and no headache although the beer was unimpressive. Brown water with a hint of smoke. Seemed to lack any depth.

I dont know if the Stone 12.12.12 vertical epic is totally considered Christmas ale (although Im pretty sure it is), but its one of the Christmas ales I do really enjoy. But I will back you up on the pumpkin ales. IMO theyre like the pumpkin spice lattes of the brewing world. I feel too much like a basic b***h when I drink them hahaha
