Biggest Beer "Mistake"

Seeing my local craft store post on Facebook that they got in a case of BCBS and me looking at the clock seeing that it's 20 minutes before I have to be at work and telling myself there would be some left when I got off.

Never even had a chance.

 

Playing the "Thunderstruck" drinking game with Goose Island BCBS... on an empty stomach... drank straight from the bottle too. I went through 2 by the end of the song. The effects were felt almost immediately. It was like some kind of strange out-of-body, Hunter S. Thompson type vision-quest. Vibrant colors. Swaying environment. Everything had a sheen of amazing detail from far away yet it was foggy upon closer inspection. No amount of food, water, adrenaline, or intense focus could soothe this roller coaster ride that I had unwittingly signed up for. Take it in stride Ryan. Maintain. Everyone's gaze was fixed on me, not because I was the asshole that downed 2 amazing beers to play a drinking game all while a cooler of Coors lite was within reach, but because I almost tripped and fell into my friends roaring bonfire.

Mother of God...

 

that's too bad. santa rosa is in sonoma btw.

 

my first beer trade here...

bcbvs for '11 and '12 dark lord.

 

I would love to have a neighbor like you. knock. knock. hello? yes hello. I was wondering if you wanted this beer. My palate is too sophisticated and a enjoy a more developed I.P.A. ........

 

I don't drainpour a lot... but if a beer is downright irritating or vile to my palate, I'm not going to drink it. That's the kinda shit I'd do in college.

 

You'll buy a beer you have no idea at all about? Are people that adventurous they're just buying outside of their taste/ comfort ranges? I basically good idea if i'll like something. i may just be a *****.

 

I have no comfort zone.

I'll try anything once... At least related to beer.

 

I did the exact same thing! In the middle of my third, I was like "I'm feeling pretty good." Then I looked at the small printed ABV and was like "Oh!" Obviously, I had no idea what a barleywine was at the time. Haha.

 

Nothing huge but now that I save & display empty bottles on a shelf in my room, I regret throwing out all of them for the first year I drank craft, cherry rye and bcbcs to name a couple

 

Message me if you're interested in trading. BCBS has been collecting dust at a few shops around me for months

 

Immort Ale.

 

I think I was like 17, miller lite drinker all the way. Somebody bought an Old Chub as a joke, it was deemed the worst beer ever and drain poured. We were idiots.

 

I've had some of those Russian beers and scrape...ma.....tongue - your vodka totally rocks! For beer though, in that situation, I can understand your point of view.

 

Dropping a full 16oz glass of Chocolate yeti from about waist height on my white carpet. There was maybe a sip left in the glass by the time I was able to grab it. Which I drank before a really long clean up.

 

Passing on numerous Cantillons that sat on shelves for months at a time (years ago. ) I was petrified of sours...thinking they were all made with Brett...

 

Trying a bunch of ipa's and dipa's before I knew that freshness mattered. I still can not find any fresh ones where I live.

 

That's the truth! Rogue Bacon Maple disgusting was one of the only beers that I can definitively say, no matter how drunk I am I will never drink again. It tastes like your clothes smell after a night drinking around a campfire.

 

Thats right if you open a beer you finish the beer. My one exception was when I split a bottle of tripple bock with a friend but I didn't drain pour it, I gave him my half.

 

Your post brings me tomy biggest mistake. Ordering magic hat beer!!!
