Your worst beer experience

Thinking Ruination IPA would be an excellent beginners IPA. Yeah.. That was my worst beer experience.

 

OP: Ouch.

I'd have to say mine was that Night Stalker I had on Saturday night...just absolutely putrid to me...then there was that gruit someone poured me at a tasting that same afternoon...it reminded me of that one time I accidentally took a big mouthful off of a 40 bottle that I had apparently pissed in...the good ole' days...so yeah...the NS sucked...and the gruit sucked...but the piss 40 is clearly the worst...though not by much.

 

Probably that first night of junior year in college when I passed out on the bathroom floor of my apartment. Or that time I pissed myself in my sleep on my girlfriends couch in college. Played it off like a boss though. Or at least I thought I did... Oh, college...

 

This is a no-brainer for me. I drank a LaFollie and was almost immediately incapacitated by chest pain followed by my throat nearly swelling shut on the way to the ER. Needless to say, sour beers do not interest me at all.

 

Drinking ice cold Big Foot at a frat party in 2006. What happened next wasn't fun.

But my buddy who I split the case with gave me the rest of his half after having the same episode, and I have 4 left to this day which drink great btw

 

Edward 40 hands with Miller Lite and Olde English. Bad move.

But on the craft level.....when I was just getting into beer that wasn't Rolling Rock, I grabbed a six pack of Bigfoot because I thought "the label was cool." I proceeded to drink three of them straight from the bottle. I went to stand up and was like, "What the fuck? How strong are these beers?" I saw the abv on the label. Live and learn.

 

It was in a pink bottle.

 

One time I tried moose drool. I almost swore off beer.

 

OP: Dude, it's just Westvleteren. It's not that great. I'm fresh out at the moment but I'll probably get some more soon. When I do, I'll send it to a trading partner and he'll probably get it to you. And no, I'm not kidding.

The worst beer experience I ever had, was either a Floris Chocolat or Southern Tier Creme Brulee. Especially from the latter I can't possibly understand how it gets even decent ratings. How badly destroyed is your palate by additives and chemicals if you think that's what a vanilla dessert even remotely smells like? BCVS now, THAT's vanilla.

Related, the worst beer disappointment I ever had was a Westvleteren 12. In Belgium you're pretty much born and bred with the idea that Westy 12 is the best beer in the world, the hype is enormous. When I finally saw it on a menu for €10 ($12) a glass, I didn't give it a second thought and ordered it. When I finally did drink it, I was like "this can't possibly be the best beer in the world".

I started Googling that night, and here I am three years later. Cellar full, wallet empty.

 

I was in Hungary. Specifically a small town outside of Budapest. I was making the rounds down along the Danube when I happened into a small dive bar that had the strange blue lighting of a weird night club. This place was really small, and pitiful would hardly describe the selection. Basically it was just a small cooler stocked with a few random beverages. I noticed a plain silver can with the word BEER written on it, and I ordered that. If I remember correctly, it only cost about fifteen cents in American dollars. I examined the can. There was very little writing on it, in an unrecognizable language, except for the big bold word BEER.

This 'beer' was without a single doubt the worst beer or even beverage I have ever had. It tasted like someone had made Natural Light by substituting hairspray instead of alcohol.

I still genuinely regret not saving that can, as it is impossible to locate any information on a beer that is simply called 'beer'. Honestly, try it, if you can manage an image or link I can guarantee you good fortune for the rest of your days.

 

Drank my Founders CBH while I was highly intoxicated at my birthday party. I remember it tasting good but when I woke up I freaked out that my buddy talked me into busting it out. ISO:CBH

 

I once had to stop drinking '83 dirty horse because it tapped, and I only could drink '96 iris and framboos. Totally sucked.

the first time i spit beer out of my mouth

 

Happened to e just a few months ago at The Publican in Chicago. I was in town on business and really wanted to experience this place. It's a unique atmosphere and if you're not fortunate to be sitting at one of the tables you're standing at bar height tables (with no chairs), and being by myself, I was put at a table with three other people who were there together and I didn't know them which is no big deal. Perusing the menu I saw they had Zombie Dust on tap so that was going to be a no brainer, fist pump! The other three people weren't interested in starting a conversation, no big deal, that's all good. After I was there for 10 minutes the waitress stopped by to take an order for another round from the three, she ignored me and walked away. O-kayyyyy. Another 5 minutes passed and she brought the other folks their next round of beer and walked away ignoring me again. At that point I was getting pissed, I purposely didn't try to get her attention to see how long this would go and was trying to make eye contact, nothing. I stood there for another 10 minutes, nothing. After 20+ minutes of standing there being ignored I walked out and let the hostess know what happened. I should have talked to the manager instead because it was really annoying. I shouldn't have to and won't beg someone to serve me a beer and damn straight I wouldn't leave a tip if they did. So I get dumped back at the hotel with no beer and $30 in the hole. Bad service isn't so out of the ordinary but this was by the worst I've ever experienced. I'll never return to The Publican ifI'm in town, I'll go to the Hop Leaf or Map Room instead. Screw it.

 

My internet searching skills have grown up since I last tried. It is made by Browar Van Pur out of Poland. If you see this thing, run...

 

I was kidnapped by Serbians, molested and forced to drink Bud lite. Top that bichez
