    Correction, I only drain pour what I'm trying and don't like. If I have more bottles of the same, I give them to the guy who maintains my aquariums!

    Almost any beer that I dont like, I will consume it via my food hole, process it with my liver to extract the drugs from it, and then desposit it into the sewer

    Glad you have found a home for those orphaned beers, although a few on that list surprised me that your local crew would not down them for you. Always, cooking with unwanted beers is an option, as a dozen others on this thread have pointed out - if the recipe calls for any amount of water use the beer, and for beef/chicken stock you can use at least half the amount as beer instead. There is something satisfying in watching BMC beer reduce to a sticky sauce,...

    Give it away. For some reason I bought a six pack of magic hat number nine when it hit the shelves in denver for gabf. I just gave away the five I didn't drink last week. Find someone at work who just wants to get trashed, they don't care if its brewed with dog hair instead of hops.

    Drink it after you've had a good amount of beers you do like. or give it to someone who may like it

    I give my dad any random bottles that I know I won't drink and he will, but aren't past their prime. Also give him other things like 2012 BCBS. He appreciates them all as he buys the stuff too. They're a nice break from his standby Busch Light :/

    That's easy.... I give beer I don't like to friends I don't like. A win-win.

    I never let anything (food or drink) go to waste, I'll consume just about anything that was intended for consumption. I like to think of myself as a human garbage disposal.

    Southern tier stout is a 22oz bottle, don't think most shops make you buy a case... And there is a speedway by my house that sells single bottles, something tells me that if a shop is getting woodmaster/cereal killer/imperial stout that they more then likely sell single bottles or there is a place near by that does.

    ST 2x Stout is only sold in 12oz bottles around here. And as to the second point, it's really hard to side with your pure assumption against her stated experience.

    And how many times did she clearly say it was a mixed bag, not a case of one beer? I sure hope this lady has a sense of humor. Looks like there was a very satisfactory conclusion to this. Beer was ultimately shared and fronds were made.

    I drink it. I've had plenty of beers I didn't like but I've never had one so bad that I've poured it out. I read so many posts on these forums about people pouring out beer after one or two sips, and that's mind boggling to me.

    Plan A: Drink 6-8 good beers, then mix in the beer you don't like. Hopefully by then your tastebuds are smashed, your memory had faded, your girl looks like the Homecoming Queen, and you can't tell the diffference....or don't care.

    Plan B: Not one, but two of my brother-in-laws will drink ANYTHING. God bless them.

    I usually just drink them even if I don't particularly like them. I hardly ever buy more than 1 or 2 bottles of something when I'm trying it for the first time so it's not that big of a deal to just finish it. Although at the same time I don't think I've bought any craft beer that I've hated.

    Why would you have these in your possession then?

    That is friends, not fronds...maybe obviously.
