Your worst beer experience

I saw some crafty beer in the bigger cities but still really very little indeed. The only dedicated craft pub I stumbled accross was Little Creatures in Freemantle (that is one beautiful city!) but maybe if I knew where to look it would have been a different story. There's a slim chance I'll end up in Sydney (winter) this summer and my mate there is just getting into beer so no doubt we'll end up checking out some of these new craft pubs.

 

Sounds like it could be a sulfite allergy. Not sure if any of the beers you referenced specifically contain active sulfites, but the symptoms you describe fit, and they can be used to help preserve fruity stuff. Do you drink wine? Have you had similar reactions there?

 

Did the same on my way back from a trip to DC. Overpriced and nothing special at the pub I can't get down the street. I won't be fooled by that again.

 

2 years ago being gung ho to try Infinium by Sam Adams. Brought it to a buddies house to celebrate New Years, toasted at midnight, immediately spit it out and looked like a douche for bringing poison to the party.

 

I was at this party in college and was kind of drunk, the beer was cheap and there was a lot of it. I grabbed what I thought was my bottle from a table and took a large drink of a beer bottle ashtray..."they are called butts because they taste like ass" some guy said as everyone laughed at me...then they all began kicking the shit out of me

 

I can't realize myself in a worse situation, when I travel to Belgium I'll put all my attention on Westvleteren.

 

From what I recall it involved splitting a case of Schlitz cans, followed by some 40's of Crazy Horse (seriously believe that was toxic stuff).

 

tiger beer in Singapore, literally tasted like tigers piss

 

Played back to back to back volleyball seasons at The Horny Goat Hideway in Milwaukee. Brewery has the worst beer I have ever had, not one of the brews is good in my opinion. But like an Alzheimer patient after every game and the team wanting to have a few before we left, I would try another thinking hey its a stout, I like stouts....

That or my cousins bachelor party. Had a good time of playing the mine field game, where any empty you knocked over meant you had to be punished. (You got to place your empties where you wanted, other sides of doors are a good bet). The punishment was drinking Natty Ice in the sauna. My cousin enjoyed his 3 day long vacation in bed throwing up after the first night.

 

1 word: Samichlaus

There's something about that beer, I got the worst headache and stomach ache from that beer. And I wasn't drunk (though at the percentage, I was pretty buzzed), but holy shit, that was awful. I've had half a one since and felt the similar effect. Not sure what's up, but I haven't had more than those 2 ever because of it.

 

At The Extreme Beer Fest Night of the Barrels in Boston Sam Adams had a beer called WTF? Has anybody else had this? It tasted like a dead dog pissed in a can of Cherry Coke. Needless to say the name of the "beer" was appropriate.

 

St. Johns Brewery VI Mango Pale Ale was equally bad, a drain pour, my lowest BA Review.

As a test I added mango puree, just 2 tablespoons, to Dales Pale Ale, and it was delicious, so it can be one if they can use fresh puree at the right moment in the assembly.

 

I drank two 40's of that shit when I was at Umass Dartmouth. Ive never been that drunk and hungover at the same time. Maybe it's a Massachusetts thing.

 

I don't have any suggestions but I share your pain. I had to delete hard cider from my life. It was never my go to drink but I do miss a nice bottle of Skrumpys every now and then.

 

Ugh, i can't even imagine drinking a whole bottle. I had about four sips and that was it for me. Horrible, horrible crap. Like Robitussin with pennies, rotten apples and nail polish remover added.

 

Worst beer experience had nothing to do with the quality of the beer. My wife and I found ourselves before Christmas shopping at the mall. We needed to grab something to eat so we went to BJ's Brewery near the mall. After looking over the tap selection I decided to look at their Belgian List which they claim to take great pride in. When out server asked what I'd like I told her I'd take a Petrus pale. She looked at me strange and then walked away. She returned with two bottle. One Petrus Pale the other Petrus Red. She asked me to point to which one I wanted. She then went back to the bar to have the bartender open it. She returned with the bottle. No glass. I then asked for a glass. She returned with a frozen tumbler. I then politely asked for an empty wine glass instead (didn't even want to try and explain a tulip or the like) she then returned with the wine glass along with more strange looks. If a place like that is going to charge a premium for such beers ($7-10) then they should know what they're serving. I could even understand the server being a bit lost but the bartender should know better.

 

Always look at what you are about to drink because I had a similar experience where I accidentally drank tobacco juice out of a water bottle when I thought I was drinking water. That was a long long time ago, glad I quit that horrid stuff.

 

I

Hahaha. I spent a semester studying in Budapest and that's just the sort of thing that you'd find there. I miss it a lot, but I certainly don't miss their domestic lagers or the pig swill that the bars pass off as "house beer." Not sure if you got the clubs in the city a lot, but the Morrison's bars probably had the worst house beer to the point that I would feel physically sick and bloated after drinking a few of them. The trick was to get them down quickly, but that also meant your demise.

 

• I chugged 2 steel reserves in 45 minutes sent me to the toilet and passing out at the toilet after tphrowing up at the time wasnt used to 8.1% alcohol beer

 

Walking past any busy Beer tent or Beer stand and being hit by the smell of the mega skunky nasty spoiled spilled beer in the trash cans or on the floor/ground.. Especially if its beer stands that have been up and running for weeks outdoors. (Universal Halloween Horror Nights event)
