    Great. I have a bomber of this and was planning on drinking it tonight. We'll see how it goes.

    Interesting to see Raging Bitch on the list, as well. We only got it for a short time last year in my neck of the woods and I'm eagerly awaiting it's return (if that ever even happens).

    My last two drain pours were Ska's Tru Blonde Ale and Abbot Ale. Wish I hadn't bought a whole sixer of the Ska. I couldn't give it away, so it was a multiple drain pour. The Abbot was a bigger let down. I built it up in my head long before trying it and it got an immediate Price is Right loser horn.

    Jw lees harvest ale 2001. Just..made my stomach turn. Maybe it was a bad bottle. Will revisit. Have a 2008 waiting to be cracked. Most smoked beers I have ended up pouring. I'm beginning to accept they just aren't for me.
    Oh, and a year old Double Trouble. That thing did NOT turn into a mythic barleywine.

    I've never had a beer bad enough that no one around me would drink. If I don't like a beer, I give it to someone who does.

    Creme Brulee was horrendous. None of the people in our tasting group could even finish their 2oz taster

    Early in my craft beer days i had gotten 6 btls of 2008 BCBS and although i love stouts i was definitly not ready for that beer and ended up drain pouring 2 btls of it cuz i couldnt handle it. I know, shame on me but at least now i love the beer and would never make that mistake again...CHEERS

    The worst I've ever had though was Moylan's Barleywine. I got about 3 sips into it and felt like I was going to throw up, and drainpoured it. Without a doubt the worst barleywine I think that exists on this earth

    Some disgusting raunch beer smoked bullshit from a Sam Adams variety pack. I didn't even drain pour it, I threw it at a tree and went inside.

    I know, I know, state the obvious...SA Infinium, really hoped the $ spent would magically make it a tolerable drink. And Voodoo Donut, I'm not piling on. I drain poured the beer, but kept the bottle around for 3 days, just to sniff it, and ask,"Why GOD, Why?!? Why can't it taste like the aroma? Your are a cruel, fickle diety!"

    This is a little different than the normal drain poor story but this afternoon I cracked open a 2009 Mirror Mirror and was saddened to find out it was infected. Down the drain it went. Next try was a Town Hall Czar Jack (was really excited for this one) that I traded for. Infected as well... Down the drain too.

    Decided the third go around needed to be quality and reliable.....opened up a BCBCS. It is currently being slowly poured down the drain that is my throat.

    Chelada and some ~30 cent German radler I had in Berlin were the only two beers I've ever drainpoured. Admittedly, a friend and I had real trouble killing Mikkeller Black together, but we persevered - and emerged completely knackered by the end of it.

    Some 2011 Abita Christmas Ale was delivered to our store by mistake. When the distributor rep came to bring us the 2012, he let me take some of the 2011. Free beer, why not(even if it is Abita)?

    2011 Abita Christmas Ale does not age well. 12 bottles down the drain.

    I also poured about half of a La Folie down the drain because it agitated one of my teeth to the point where I couldn't drink anything for the rest of the night. No one else wanted the rest. It turned out that the pain was a cavity.

    Sam Adam's "Long Shot" from a few years back. A Lavender beer. One sip, passed it. Went round the room and to the sink. It was like chewing on potporrie (sp).

    The runner up was some kind of smoke beer that literally tasted like burning.

    Even fresh, that beer was horrible.
