What's the worst craft brew (commercial) you've had?

[justabrewin]

Ewwwww... I like drinkin' Grandpa's ole' cough medicine.... but actual cough medicine... that's where I draw the line!

My vote goes to Victory Village, a brown ale with One Village coffee...tasted like cold, burnt coffee. I asked the waitress to pour it out for me.

I am really surprised at all the Southern Tier hate in this thread...easily one of my favorite breweries. Gemini, Unearthly, 2XIPA, Farmer's Tan, Pumking and Krampus are all exceptional beers IMO. Different strokes I guess...

I thought Unearthly was pretty sweet, but good. Iniquity on the other hand, I almost had to pour out the rest. It started out ok, got old pretty quick.

I think Southern Teir makes interesting beers, but they lack drinkability for me. Like Pumking, in theory a really good beer the way that they included all of those flavors, but I can only get through about half of a bomber before I've had enough. That said I still have 4 bombers in my fridge that I enjoy a little bit at a time.

DFH Ta Henket - it seriously tasted like someone drained the liquid out of a can of Rosarita refried beans. I get what they were going for, and my hats off to them for taking that risk... but this one was BAD. Not to mention it set me back $20. Lesson learned.

Dogfish is just too far out there. What about Midas Touch! I bought a four pack, drank one, and then threw the rest out.

 

[allenH]

Shipyard Applehead. 3 of them in a variety 12 pack, very difficult to finish one.

Shame. It is pretty good to cook with, particularly in stews.

Will remember that next time.

I love that dirty bastard. Just wish I could afford to buy it more often. Only place I've found it locally charges $12 for a 6er. A little pricey for me.

Your lucky, in Canada I can't get craft beer cheaper than that ever. I am lucky if a 6 pack of anything costs 13 bucks

Hey! I'm from Canada too.

Hell ya Dave's a great guy. Say hi to him for me if you see him.

You nailed it, that stuff is gnarly.

Oh I will. That guy is such a knucklehead.

Seriously though, what part of Canada are you from?

I am originally from a small town near Stratford but now I am in university in Guelph. So SW Ontario. Where ate you from?

I'm originally from Hamilton but I lived in Guelph for a few years while my wife went to the UofG.

Live in Cookstown now...just south of Barrie.

 

[stevo4361]

Buffalo Bill Cody Beer, which I'm pretty sure you can only find in WY and MT. If you're in the area and want to try one, don't.

Right on, are you apart of the sob group? (Southern Ontario brewers)

 

[JDFlow]

Mission which is brewed by Widmer Brothers. I like most of their stuff but this line was really of IMO. I had the pale ale. The malt and hop character are completely separate. You can taste a great malt body and a great hop bitterness and aroma but its as if they just don't blend. It's really odd. Took me over a month to get through the 6 pack. I needed more bottles.

 

[Whattawort]

Sam Adams Baltic IPA isn't the worst but I'll never buy it again. The absolute worst that I'be had recently is Dixie. Only a spicy crawfish boil can cover that taste up.

I bought 3 bottles of Hofbrau Oktoberfest. Had one last night and it was mediocre at best. Just cracked another, still not good. I was just over in Munich a couple weeks ago and had some amazing oktoberfest beer. This is not one of them..I have one left...Anybody want it??

 

[Apple_Jacker]

Blue Moon

I'll second that. I've never been a fan of blue moon.

Is that the beer Eric Bischoff makes? How could it be bad? I mean look how well the WCW is doing these days...

that's true, maybe because it's a kind of straightforward style, the freshness is what makes it famous in its origin.

 

[LandoLincoln]

So, what say you?

I say that this is pointless, since everyone's tastes are different. Your distaste of 3Floyd's Brian Boru is not going to change the fact that I enjoy it very much.

Go over to BeerAdvocate if you want to practice being a beer snob.

Epic's Fermentation without Representation... A pumpkin porter that was overly sweet and tasted more like a banana chocolate chip muffin than pumpkin.
