You guys actually pour beers out?

Well I have drained poured a few beers in the past couple of years. They sounded good but the first taste was not to my liking. Life is too short to drink bad beer! The way I look at is I paid for it I can dump it.

 

One of my housemates' girlfriends brought over a six-pack of an abomination called Michelob Ultra Light Cider. I laughed my ass off when I saw it in the fridge, 'cause Worst Idea Ever. I guess I called it; every one that got opened got drainpoured. I asked for a description and got a unanimous "watered-down apple Jolly Rancher".

A week later, half the sixpack is still sitting in the fridge; guess we inherited it.

OT: I don't drainpour often, but I damn sure will.

 

Hate that term. Only 'drainpour' for me was Gulden Draak. Fucking revolting. A month since and I've not been able to drink anything remotely estery.

 

Maple Bacon Voodoo Donut and old IPA's... nuff said

 

Fair enough.

 

Only 1 ever - Cimmerian Sabretooth Berserker, and I think it was infected. I'd never pour out a non-infected beer.

 

I have no problem pouring shit out, I don't get the big deal.

If I'm sitting down on a Tuesday night and having the 1-2 beers I allow myself to have, and it sucks, I'm sure as shit taking a few sips and then dumping it.

If you have a legit answer why I shouldn't, I'm all ears.

 

If I don't likey, I don't drinkey

 

Life's too short to drink crappy beer. If you don't like it, get rid of it and move on to something better.

 

Haha I know man. One of those instances when my personal tastes run against the grain of the beer community at large

 

"Liquid bologna" actually sounds quite tasty to me!

 

Its extremely rare that I drain pour - I can count on one hand how many times I have but I'll give you an example. I made the mistake of buying Dogfish Head Raison D extra. I bought it without knowing anything about it but figured a beer that pricey and from a brewery like DH has to be good right ? WRONG ! I drank one and forced it down even though it was god awful. Just a terrible beer IMO. A few days later I thought maybe that one was bad or whatever, it can't be that bad can it ?? Well, it was. Popped the 2nd a few days later. I got about 1/2 through it and just couldn't do it. Why force myself when I hated it esp when I always have a fridge full of quality brews. I would consider forcing myself to drink crap more a puss move than admitting my mistake and pouring that shit out. I had to pop a KBS to get the taste outta my mouth. I gave the rest away to friends - even after telling them how awful it was. Most agreed with me, one actually enjoyed his. All good - everybody's taste isn't the same but my point is I am not going to force down something I'm not enjoying. Why would I ? Life's too short to drink crap beer.

 

I have poured portions of beers down the drain plenty of times, but I am annoyed that "drain pour" exists as a noun or verb around here.

 

I've dumped a few beers, when a stout tastes like straight vinegar... when anything tastes like straight vinegar...
I guess you could save it and make a boozy salad dressing out of it.

 

I do because if I'm going to consume empty calories they had better taste great. Last night I had a drainpour actually. It was Hayseed by Smuttynose. They didn't put what style it was on the label (cant stand that) but I couldn't find anything to complete my mix a six, so i got it. It turned out to be not my thing, so I let it go. The 5 previous beers were sufficient for a worknight anyways.

 

like Rodenbach Gran Cru?

 

Infected Silva Stout ):

 

Or the inevitable acronym. There was a time when "yeah I DP'd that shit" meant something totally different
