    Either gift it or swill it to my face, however unwillingly.

    Use it for stock when making chili!

    I pretend I'm a Nascar or Indy Driver and I shake it up and spray my friends as if I had won a race.

    Full-bodied beer is an excellent conditioner for your hair! But I would drink it, probably as one of the last beers of an already questionable night.

    Gently weep into the glass, hoping my tears will transform it into something better. If not, ditch it for something I have around that I know I enjoy.

    I call it snorkeling when it's with a bottle and a bendy straw

    I know a lot of people on here have suggested I buy singles, but my nearest liquor store doesn't allow me to mix and match. I have other liquor store options, but I often don't feel like driving further just for the ability to mix and match.

    I have to disagree about the 2012 Christmas Ale - I think it aged really well, and four of my craft-obsessed friends agreed. I opened up two more last night, and I may reconsider the 5.00 that I originally gave it, but I think it rates at least a 4.50 as far as brown ales are concerned. I notice that the BA scores it is currently receiving are somewhat divided, with a slightly higher pDev than normal - so to each his own. Cheers!

    ? I'm not sure whether or not to take you seriously about the conditioner thing

    Usually drink it... and make a bitter face... then drink more. More bitter face...

    Finish it and then don't buy it again. Rarely pour something out...maybe like twice in the last year have I disliked a beer that profoundly.

    Life is too short---dump it. No way I would offer beer I refused to drink to friends.

    Grin and bear it as I force myself to finish it, pour it down the sink, or give it to my cousin who will drink anything with alcohol in it, regardless of taste.

    I got way behind years ago when I was buying a lot. I had friends come over, take an empty 6 pack box in, fill it up and take it home. I got a lot of interesting "reviews" of many of those beers. I knew that I was not going to make my way through more than 400 bottles so it was a great solution. Later many of those recipients returned the favor and bought/brought me additional interesting beers. Beer Karma, ya know!

    Bought a sixer of a stout that was ok but I got tired of it quickly. I have been using it as one of my ingredients in chili
