What do you do with beer you don't like?

Everyone give this lady a thousand kudos for driving to meet up with me at Kuhnhenn's in some really awful weather. She really wasn't kidding about two cases! She was kind enough to gift me eight bottles of fresh Hopslam, an assortment of rarer Short's, Arcadia, and Kuhnhenn among others.

She is exactly what a Beer Advocate should show when you look it up on Wikipedia. Cheers!

 

Save it for company. Someone will give it a try.

 

Making light of homeless people is pathetic.

First off why are there so many extras of beers you don't like, buy a single bottle. Secondly what styles do you like? I see Stouts, fruit beer, ipa, barleywines, brown ale, ripa.... Many of which are decent representations of the style. Is there any particular beer that you are in love with? For the future I would say stick to what you know you like because it seems there is a lot you don't and don't buy six packs... buy one bottle. For the remainder of the beer host a tasting with some of your friends who do or don't appreciate beer. Maybe you can bring someone to the dark side.... and make it a contest, 3 votes per person and see who the champ is.

 

Would you like to yell at the moon with Buzz Aldrin?

 

I think reading this has proven that people don't actually read threads. She clearly stated a couple of times that she doesn't have any shops around her that carry singles, and so she is forced to go with a six or four pack when trying many new things.

Now as to why she doesnt like those particular beers, I can't be sure exactly. However, I can say that I am a luckier man that she doesn't.

 

If you want to pay the favor foward, you could always send me a Hopslam or two. Just offerring...

 

buy a still and make moonshine out of it. Thats what I do. waste nothing

 

A healthy lawn loves a drink of beer! The grass gets greener and healthier on bad beer; in fact, beer is part of my regular lawn feedin tonic.

 

I drink it and complain on BA about it afterwards.

 

Mix it all together, slap a name on it and voila! you're an official beer blender.

 

1.) Hospitality beer a.k.a "Would you like a beer?"
2.) Marinating/cooking applications
3.) Drain pour and put on the do not purchase again list

 

Our group once had a person bring a case of Keystone Light which nobody touched, it became a white elephant that would get snuck into each others garages or closets when nobody was looking. I think it's still out there ten years later waiting for one of us to finally get around to cleaning the garage and "discover" it again. (Thank Ghod I moved several hundred miles away, but that may not deter some of them)

 

Give it away - you never know.

 

I don't really buy beers I don't like. Most times I'm looking for credible brews from credible brewers. I may blindly buy a new offering from Sierra Nevada, Great Divide, Founders, etc, but I'm not likely to grab a six pack of Joe Blow's Brewing Pineapple Butterscotch Green Chile Licorice Cactus Ale. But...When I was a craft noob, I drank 'em even if I didn't dig 'em.

 

As it turns out you seem to have done exactly the right thing with these orphaned brews.

Brava.
