Styles that can *#@$ off!

Barleywine can fuck right off

 

So, you don't like the "malts" part. Odd user name then....

 

I do indeed love malty beers. Barleywines are too boozy for me.

 

In no particular order:

Could you possibly take a stand, and order those for us?

Chili Pepper infused beers,

 

Let's just call it what it is. Fake id beer for adults.

 

Marketing gimmicked items that embrace a band to sell more beer (Punk in Drublic, Enter Night, etc.).

 

Didn't connect that with a Lagunitas product. And, yes, they make some beers that target my preferences: Undercover Shutdown, Brown Shugga, and my fave, WTF which, sadly, seems to have become unavailable east of the Mississippi.
Also no, I've never lived in Virginia, but have been known to frequent NC, SC and OH.

I have tried a few of these breakfast cereal beers and I don't care for them. That said, it does crack me up to think to myself that folks who worship beers that smell/taste like barnyard, rotted fruit, cheese, vinegar, or dirty feet might be among those who put down cereal beers, and act snobbishly about those who drink them.

 

It you’re responding to me - I was just posting because that brewery literally was doing a release that (whether targeting nostalgia or current breakfast consumption choices) was all in on breakfast cereals - so thought @KarlHungus would get a tickle out of it.

I get your point - but it’s not quite apples to apples. Those are flavor profiles not actual additions. If someone brewed a beer with Gorgonzola (50% sure someone will post a link showing that’s been done), or some hay taken straight from a barn, or god forbid, an actual wet horse blanket - then I imagine that people who give breweries shit for the cereal/cereal-esque additions, would give them shit too.

 

That's utterly pathetic. I meant my comment to be derogatory towards adults who still have juvenile sweet tooths and thus only want fruity, juicy beers. It's sad breweries feel they need to stoop this low.

 

Any beer with Milkshake or Pumpkin or Smoothie in the title can be instantly ignored

 

I'm not sure I despise any style as a whole. I find most fruited kettle sours to be sub-par, but there are absolutely some good ones out there.

There are plenty of individual beers that deserve an eye roll, but I don't know if I'd condemn an entire style because some brewers have no shame. I mean, the cereal stuff is pretty stupid...but it's not like that's enough to make me hate any of those base styles or even adjunct beers in general.

 

Beer has reached the point of Dadaism, its hilarious and I love it. The beer thats the anti-beer, pissing off traditionalists is fun just for the fun of it, all the while I'm just enjoying the ride traditional or otherwise. So bring on the really good basic styles AND the funky spontaneously fermented casket sours, AND the ridiculous candy/cake/pastry beer AND whatever beer becomes. Beer can be fun and freaky and not all are meant to be a daily drinker so much as a singular experience for some of those styles but I'm sure we all have fun stories about that one or few beers that were so crazy but will never drink again.

 

Yeah, I'm gonna pass on the 3rd use casket sour. No offense.

 

But it gives the beer so much body...and soul

 

I bet the soul has long since left the casket.

 

No, not pointed at you at all, provoked by your comment at best, pointed at myself if anything, I laugh to understand that I like flavors designed by nature to be warning signs of poisonous food and water smells and tastes. It causes me to laugh at all of us, no finger pointing, sorry if this wasn't obvious.
