    Besides trading, how do you dispose of perfectly OK beer that just does nothing for you? I have almost 2 cases of of beer that I can look at and just know I am never drinking it. :flushed:

    Wow- that's a lot. Whenever this sort of thing happens to me it's usually just a few bottles I have to deal with. I find that having a bit of fun with blending beers helps keep things interesting if I have some lying around that are too sweet, too bland, too 'whatever'...

    I drink just about everything I buy, but if there are beers I don't particularly care for, I just serve them to guests at my house. If they don't like it, they can bring their own beer.

    It's a hodge podge of stouts, some ryes, a ginger beer, a dozen oddball, some that have nuts, and some hopslam. No fabulous rare items, but stuff a non-craft drinker wouldn't touch.

    I have been cooking with it, but my house is starting to smell a little too much like beer.

    Luckily has only happened with Festina Peche for me, threw the other 3 bottles away. It'll take a while for me to try another berliner lol

    I need some names of the beers to put in a good opinion. Hopslam? That one has me stumped though I respect you're not liking it; we all have our own palates and what pleases it.

    Either make it a guest beer or incorporate into garden fertilizer this spring.

    I have this problem, right now as we speak. I have a lone bottle left from a sixer of Weihenstaphener Hefe-weiss. I've struggled all weekend with the stuff, I realize it's rated world class, but man... I do not like banana/clove flavored beer. My son drank a couple. That's about all he could handle. Oh well. Gonna pop the top now and man up. I don't drain pour.​
