Drain pour tales...

Frangelic Mountain brown. Terrible beer, but even more disappointing coming from founders.
Other than that Creme Brulee is the next one to come to mind.

 

Positive Contact...I should have known better when my local bottle shop split the "has to be sold in case quantity" case. My girlfriend and I both agreed, vomit in a glass. That smell stayed with me for days.

Pumking-Jesus Christ. I will gladly drink Stohs before attempting that again. Another beer that made my nose want to kick my balls in...

 

How could I forget that $12 bottle of fake creamer...come on Founders. Love you but come on...

 

Man... I had some stuff from shorts brewery that i got from a BIF... I pretty much drained every single one of them. They were terrible.

 

Elysian Rosemary Agave IPA was quite an abortion...

 

All three bottles I've had of Weyerbacher Fireside have been disgusting beyond belief and went down the drain after about four sips each. All tasted like cans of corn with some smoke in the background. Just truly awful. I don't know if they just had a DMS problem with some batches or if the smoke flavor they use just doesn't taste right to me.

 

Infinium immediatley springs to mind. What a terrible beer. I don't know what Sam Adams was thinking....or why it was brewed more than once.

 

That sucks. I was really hoping a little age might make my last one of these drinkable...

 

I've done this only once. Stone's Belgo Old Guardian. I drain-poured only the last four ounces or so, but it gave me some real heartburn, tasted acrid, and wasn't enjoyable. I say this as a big Stone fan, btw. If Greg Koch or anyone from there is reading this, don't get upset; I love you guys!

 

Thanks for reminding me, this one got drainpoured after a blind tasting of Russian imperial stouts. Really perplexing since I think the regular Stone IRS is outstanding.

 

Thanks, Gosox8787, I had blocked Infinium out of my memory for a reason... Forgot about that atrocity of a beer. Had it on New Year's Eve instead of Champagne one year, and quickly regretted it.

 

Pearl Street Dankenstein DIPA

 

Two stories...one short...one drawn out. First the short.

Had a bottle of Xyauyu Etichetta Rame (Copper). Opened it up, not the slightest hint of carbonation, and it was sweet as hell. I just couldn't wrap myself around it. Straight down the drain. I get grief for it at every turn. But, I don't dig flat beer...whether that's the intention, the norm, or whatever.

Second. During Philly Beer Week we had a few bottles of Double Pecan Porter we'd traded for. We opened the first, and it was utterly infected. Gusher...sour...bad top to bottom. Straight down the drain. Second...same way. By the time we got to the third, we didn't even bother to see if it was any good...we just shot a video of us opening it and pouring it straight in the sink. That set a few people off (Texans, mostly), but it wasn't anything personal. Bad beer's bad beer. We dumped a copious amount of Dark Lord out that week too.

 

Yeah, I still have one left. I'm not sure why I bought 2 to begin with. I may never end up opening it.

 

We shared an Infinium last year during the Orange Bowl. It's debatable which was worse between that beer and Clemson's defense.

 

*insert generic Dark Lord drain pour and think I'm a rebel*

*gasps all around*

 

Although, I blame it on either 1.) A novice palette (I had it when I first started drinking craft beer) 2.) Completely different expectations... I recently had Southern Tier Chocolate and expected it to be the same.. for whatever reason.


With that said, will try again.

 

on a serious note: the there have been 3 beers aside from macro lagers that I have drainpourd:
1. DFH tah henket- I kept on getting this fungusy note and I couldn't take it past a couple sips

2. Hoppin Frog sweet evil, I should have been warned by the name, It was just waaaay too sweet

3. Rouge Voodoo bacon maple whatever- this time I knew what I was getting myself into but wanted to try it as a curiosity. I really did try my best to finish a glass but I couldn't do it.

I try my best not to drain poor craft beers because I know how much time and effort went into making them. But i'm sure I will add to this list.
