Beers that you regret purchasing...

Any Sierra Nevada IPAs. I swear to God, they all taste like regular old, Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. Even their latest collaberation with Dogfish head. I mean, 14 bucks for a bomber of Sierra Nevada Pale Ale? Should have used a gun to rob me.

 

Hop Devil Nitro at a bar that HAD to have bad lines. I was so mad I drank it out of spite.

 

I regret a few beers but in a, "I shouldn't have slamhogged last night" kind of way. You pour it out, move on and if you see it again, try to avoid eye contact!

 

Almost everything I've snagged from Mikkeller, decent beer, just not anywhere near worth it for the cost.... With that said, even with the taste of disappointment fresh in my mouth, at least I know I'm keeping some talented Graphic Designers gainfully employed

 

Stone VE 11.11.11. One of my very few drain pours ever.

 

I like most mikkeller beers but the beer I most regret buying is spontanwildstrawberry.. absolutely aweful.. literally all I could taste was metal and burnt plastic.. what I regret even more is I bought two bottles of it, and I am now sitting on a second one that I dread opening up.

 

shepherd neame ipa
expected a good hop taste
got a bland bottle of shite from a tired old brewery stuck in the 1950s

 

Store had these on sale for $1 per bottle. I bought three, wish I didn't even buy one.

 

Very recently,

I spent 20+ dollars on two bottles of beer that tasted very much... not interesting-enough-for-the-price-I-paid

Not recommended

 

lips of faith transatlantique kriek .. not worth the price point IMO.

 

Rogue maple bacon

 

For me, it's a slam dunk for Saranac Caramel Porter. One of my friends got half the case, another still has the better part of a six-pack in his fridge and there are still three in my fridge for "party dares" or, as I'm playing it, "This is what disappointment tastes like."

 

Saranac Caraml Porter ... Drain pour.

 

And the reason I like it is because it gets my beer-hating wife to actually drink beer with me.

 

YUUUUUUP. I bought it on impulse, having already consistently enjoyed their year round releases. Then I read the reviews after, and put off tasting it til a couple weeks ago. Drank about 1/4 and dumped the rest of it after I rated it.

 

Cucumber Saison grew on me. For a while, back when I was at CCB 3+ times a week it was my "getting a little buzzed, lemme go with something light to end the session" beer.

As for me, I regret buying any and all Clown Shoes stouts. They all taste like Blaecorn Unidragon (i.e., smoked) to me.

 

It's not even meh in the bottle. It's bad. It tastes like somebody dumped half a spice rack worth of spices into a mediocre stout. I can't imagine how having it on tap would make it any better.

 

Without a doubt, Cucumber Saison was one the best new beers I had this summer. Absolutely loved it.

 

Southern Star Black Crack. In one sense, I'm glad I got to try this limited release bourbon barrel aged stout, and it was good, but I regret how much I paid. I'm not sure any 16.9 ounce bottle of beer is worth $13.
