    I second that. Thankfully, I hadn't remembered I tried it.....until today.

    I had it this summer. Way too boozy and chewy for me. Just could not get it down. Maybe just not my style brew.

    Yeah many people say it is a great barleywine. I guess I just don't like them much. I am actually glad people told me that cuz I had a KH and ended up trading for some nice stouts that I knew I would enjoy rather than open it and dislike it. Very helpful information.

    Southern Tier Jahva. Sickest I've been this century. I still can't look at Southern Tier labels and won't drink their beer.

    The only beer i regret is from college and it was some crap called Northern Lager that was 8.99 for a case. I drank a lot and ordered a pizza but before the pizza got to my apartment i barfed and fell asleep. My roommate got to eat the pizza and i woke up with my eyes swollen shut

    that was horrible but ive never regretted any craft beer that i bought and turned out lousy. at least i tried it

    I know! I love New Glarus. I actually tried it 2x just to make sure I hated it. Yep. Hated it. I'm pretty sure that this confirms that I'm just not a fruit beer sort of girl.

    I was looking for a 6th beer for a mix 6 and the girl at the store said that Wild Blue never disappoints...holy hell...I nearly cried it was so bad.

    Hinterland Maple Bock (Those are the only two beers I've ever drain poured)

    I choked down my first Dark Lord ('12). I kept trying to like it but it was such a huge let down...I'd hunted it for so long. Wah-wah.

    3F Schaerbeekse Kriek 2009. Found one on the shelf in Indy and it wasn't cheap. I didn't expect that skunk/burnt rubber smell...I like funky but it was too much (maybe it was a bad bottle?).

    Everything I buy from The Bruery that isn't a Stout or a Sour. Overpriced garbage makes me regret my purchase.

    I'd second that, except the moderately priced bit, aside from Beer Geek Breakfast, most of their bottles are tiny and expensive.

    Aside from that, I'd say I regretted buying Bootlegger's Brewery's Mint Chocolate Porter. A syrupy minty mess...:slight_frown:

    river horse tripel horse. still probably the most shameful beer i've tasted.

    sure, some beers taste worse. but tripel horse knows what it wants to be, and tastes like the worst cheap vodka ever.

    Samuel Smith Pure Brewed Lager tasted like metallic windex. I still have 3 left from the four-pack. Pretty terrible.

    None. Tis one of the downsides of craft beer drinking. Sometimes you get caught with a stinker.
