I really hope you're joking! 120 may not be for everyone, but you could trade it to almost anyone on this forum for almost anything. Plus, isn't it like $25-$30/4 pack?

No kidding, I have had bad beers. Never dumped one though. Pound it, and try something new after, yes haha. But to dump expensive beer is silly, I wouldve tried to trade or at least give it to a friend. Or cooked with it. Or gave it as a gift to worst enemy.
 
Seriously? The couple Jester King beers I've had were incredable.

forgot to specify the exact one: Boxer's Revenge

I don't mind sours and I actually love farmhouse, but this one was just too much.
 
If you do not like sour/wild ales then do not try them or grip about a brewery that does them. It should be an off flavor not because you may not like the style

voodoo isn't bad because of an off flavor. Every flavor in there is exactly as it was intended to be. I feel the same about boxer's revenge.

Well its not what you intended to be but the brewery releases it as they want it. Boxers is my favorite and i got a newer and batch 1 i need to do a side by side
 
I just tried some of the Trader Joes brand beers. Lets just say I wont be buying them again.
(my friend said their beer was ok, turns out he meant they sell other brands of beer that are ok)


I tried 2 of their lagers (3.99 a six pack).
The 6.2% alcohol lager was very sweet, almost as if the yeast got stuck at 1.025. It was like a sugar beer.

Then I tried the 5% lager, that was just bad, still sweet but not like the 6.2%.

I tried their IPA, and I'd put it against a Mr. Beer kit.

I tried a dark amber, I dumped it in the sink.

I tried a couple more, they too got dumped.

No redeeming value at all. Even if you want to get drunk, it's got to be better to buy other alcohol.
 
I understand that one of the TJ beers is made by unibroue.

I've had a couple of their beers, I remember one being tolerable, but the others were disgusting. Not exactly a go to

Id have to say the Rogue VooDoo Maple Bacon was the worst as many others have said. Tasted like Aunt Jemima and liquid smoke

What's wrong with that? I put aunt jemima and liquid smoke on my pancakes every morning. :p
I wanted to try that one just to try it, but never did successfully talk myself into buying it. It's been mentioned a lot in this thread, so I think I made the right decision.
 
Sam Adams Chocolate Cherry Bock. Chemical flavor. Yuck. I know some on here liked it (it has come up before) but taste is subjective.

Yea Ive had a lot of beers I dont like, mainly due to my dislike for hoppy beers, but this one I truly hated lol. You made the right decision.
 
Sweet Baby Jesus - Chocolate Peanut Butter Porter.

I've heard of this beer, but have yet to see it on a menu until this past weekend. Had to give it a shot. Smelled good. The first taste was odd, but I've never tasted peanut butter in beer before. A few sips later, it started to grow on me. I was drinking this beer before our appetizers even came and quickly wished I had ordered it after the meal, maybe with a dessert. By the time I was half way through the glass I was already looking for something hoppy to wash away the peanut butter flavor. I pounded the 2nd half of the beer just to be done with it. It wasn't terrible, but not something I would ever order again. A novelty at best. I could see how someone could enjoy it with a chocolate dessert of some sort, but all by itself, no thanks.

For me, there wasnt more then a slight hint of PB in that beer. More chocolate then anything, and I thought it was a very good beer. I have had it multiple times and would have more of it, if it was available to me.

Seriously the local piggly wiggly has it for 12$ all day long.. You boys are getting bent over the keg!
 
The only time I ever sent a beer back was one I ordered a few years ago, chlorophenols out the wazoo, medicinal and plasticy, sadly I know the flavor because of my first few brews. I don't even remember the brewery or beer

I'm in the same boat when it comes to Sweet Baby Jesus. I enjoyed it, but I wouldn't care to drink more than half a pint in a sitting. Their Dirty Little Freak, however, I can down pretty easily. They just released it recently. It's a chocolate, coconut brown.
