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

[paliessmann]

I'm a big fan of the Noble Pils. Definitely their best beer IMO.

+1 on the noble pils. Their latitude 48 is pretty decent too. And if I'm at a restaurant I usually will order a Boston lager. But that being said there is always better brews out there to buy.

I'll have to try that one then.. I have never been a Sam Adams fan. I actually try and avoid it

Yeah I definitely wouldn't call myself a Sam Adams fan but some of their stuff isn't all that bad. I think they've just started to develop a stigma with craft fans. But some of their stuff really is bad.

I too like their latitude 48. The black lager is pretty decent too IMO.

 

[MotorcycleMatt]

Their noble pils is pretty good.

What was pretty craptastic was goose islands 312. I thought I was drinking a bud light, but considering how unintelligent the waitress was, I might have been. I'm sorry but for 5 bucks it was very bland pale yellow fizzy beer.

The Sam Belgian Session is pretty awful.

Agreed. I'll never get another of their seasonal 12 packs ever again. The blueberry lager is also nasty.

 

[bottlebomber]

I've never met a mixed 12-pack that I liked..

Peak Organic and Southern Tier make mixed 12's that I like.

 

[NormPeterson]

I am having a hard time coming up with a Sam Adams that I actually like enough to go out and buy for a session night. I respect them but just don't really like any of their beers all that much.

Sam Adams Imperial Stout was good.

The Bridgeport mixer was pretty good. IPA heavy

I ordered a founders at a bar recently. It was pretty busy and the bar tender really didn't know anything about craft. It tastes like sewer water totally sickening. Turns out it wasn't a founders like from Michigan but a Newcastle founders.

Totally gross don't know if the beer is that bad or if they have filthy lines and pour my drink into something that had tequila in it and was not washed.

 

[BreezyBrew]

No, it's pretty bad imo lol.

I made a apple cider from Mr. Beer and let's just say it taste like hot water. Well maybe it was the kit or maybe it was me the brewer. First time with Mr. Beer and apple cider. I made my recipe this time and I tried it and was not the greatest. I'll let this one sit a few more weeks. Maybe I'm not good at ciders.

I like the small batch stuff they do. I loved the Gingerbread Stout that was out at Christmas time.

Ciders can be very easy. Take a look in the recipe section for Dave's caramel cider. It is a great base recipe without the spices and a great fall/winter cider with the spices.

It's a good beer, but if I want a Pils I will get a Czechwar (Budweiser) or Urquell before I get that.

I'll check it out thank you. I mean I made cider just not what I was hoping.

Deschutes has a great mixed 12-pack. And to be honest there is a New Belgium one that was pretty good (which included the Belgo which I liked a lot).

No, the beer is bad. Really bad. And at this point, way past expired.

Epic Ales Cinco Plantas brewed with epazote. So bad!

Wow, I just looked that one up. Sounds Epic indeed.

Probably Third Shift Amber Ale. Way too much of a sulfur taste. Bad stuff.

 

[NormPeterson]

+1 on third shift. Picked it up from a gas station because it was the only kind other than the standard beers everywhere.

 

[CliffMongoloid]

I don't like alot of saranacs offerings.... Maybe its just me tho

+1, although I admit, the Red IPA had more flavor than I was expecting. It didn't have the usual watered down character I get from those beers.

I don't know if that counts as craft brewed since it is Coors.

That damn chili pepper beer- Dave's I think.

Drinking a beer now that I wanted to add to this thread although it is not the worst beer I've even had... right now it qualifies as the most disappointing... flying dog single hop citra... I absolutely wanted to love this beer, and then I tasted it... all I seem to be getting is the crystal and the rye in the recipe... and I HATE RYE.. meh
