That's gotta be it. It's pretty well regarded as the worst beer ever. The BeerAdvocate reviews are pretty damn funny.
Stone brewing smoked porter. I couldn't take more than than a few sips before I poured out the rest. It tasted like pure liquid smoke.
The other one that was awful was Mission Brewery hefeweizen. It was anything but a hef. It was clear, felt like I was drinking a bad ale. Dull flavors, a strange aftertaste. I managed to finish the 6 pack but I didn't really enjoy it.

Has anyone noticed bells two heartted changing recipes or process, the recent 6 pack tasted nothing like previous ones, and it has always been one of my favorities

Look at the bottling date. Bells' biggest issue for me is flavor stability. Hop Slam and Two Hearted go downhill quick. Even Oberon changes. When fresh it has a big Saaz character.and tastes kind of like a Czech Pilsener. After a few weeks the hops disapeer and the beer gets pretty boring.

Just tried a Rogue Maple Bacon Ale. Smelled like car tires and the taste? Couldn't manage more than two sips; the second sip was to confirm the horrible taste of the first. I'm glad my nephew wasted the $15 on this one

If you buy one you have to finish it.

To each their own! Obviously, Rogue thought it had merit...

Agreed on the Lucy. I can't stand it. That said, I have a soft spot for Starr Hill. They were one of my first go-to craft breweries eight and a half years ago when I was 21. I spent a fair amount of time at their music hall when it was still open.

Hahaha. I heard about that batch. My wife and I went in and saw rye cream ale and it intrigued me. When it came I was impressed by the color, but it reminded me of a bland blonde. Without saying anything I had my wife try it. She shrugged her shoulders and said, "It tastes like a cheap blonde". I didn't really get loogies, though more just bland and hazy. So I went to my go to there, a Red Eye and fish-n-chips.
The absolute worst I've had was an Amber by Wolf or Red Wolf or something like that. It had such horrible reviews on untappd that I think they actually pulled it off. I can't find it in my history or anything. It tasted like someone poured fruit juice into underhopped half fermented wort. It took 6 months for the six pack to leave my fridge. The last two, thank God, succumb to my faulty thermostat and freezing.

it sure as heck does.... I've tried it several times, and every time I tell myself I will like it. every time I am wrong. I don't get it, I love pale ales, I love cascade hops. SNPA is a pale ale, it has cascade hops. But it tastes absolutely horrible. no malt flavor at all, and the best description of the taste is lemon pledge with stomach acid.
I can't believe so much hate for Harpoon. I've loved everything I've had of theirs. And Liennie's Summer Shandy i awesome. yeah, it tastes like kool aid. but damn its good to drink when its hot out...

The only beer from SN I've genuinely enjoyed was the Narwhal. The others are mediocre at best. They can't make an IPA to save their souls. I feel like they abuse Munich malt.
Edit: Actually Torpedo was pretty good on tap, but bottled it is not worth buying. But that's it!

you must have gotten a bad serving of it... that stuff is a great English IPA. The rest of thier beers are excellent as well. One of my favorite breweries. seems weird one person's thoughts on a beer is so far apart from another person's.
Disclaimer. "I love dogfish head beer"! I gotta say though. Raison D'etra is not a good beer. Just taste funky to me. To much fruit bull**** in it. I bought it because I love the saying.
Favorite style is a nut brown ale btw.

I like Midas
(Rogue vodoo bacon maple)
as if the pink and brown packaging wasn't enough, it actually sounds disgusting. and according to many accounts, it might be.
"A beer so obnoxious, you just have to try it yourself so you can tell the world how much you didn't like it!" -- I like it (the idea, the beer remains a mystery I don't care to investigate.)
I have to agree with the Rouge Voodoo Bacon Maple. I was able to finish the bottle. But just barely.
Others that I can't stand are Pyramids Apricot Ale and there was a christmas beer about 10 years ago that i just could not drink. Got it. "Pete's Wicked Winter Brew." Or something like that. The last 5 bottles in the 6-pack sat in my fridge for over a year before I managed to get rid of it.

I love Midas Touch. Brewing a clone soon.

I'm not sure if this is the worst craft brew I've ever had, but definitely the one that missed expectations the most: Stone 16th Anniversary. It's just disgusting.

I know people wet their pants over new glarus fruit beers. I've had both raspberry tart and wisconsin red and found them cloyingly sweet. Was glad I had them at a beer fest and did not pay for them.
