    I'd had most of it, but it just got to be too much toward the end. Too rich and the alcohol flavor was obtrusive. Believe me, I regret drinking it too green.

    5 minutes of prep time, an hour of baking in the oven, and dirty mixing bowls in the sink? I think I will continue to pour that undrinkable beer down the drain myself:wink:.

    Unless dairy is out for you too, beer and cheddar soup is a great way to use it.

    If I don't like it, I'll pour it. But if it's a bad beer for whatever reason, I take it back to the beer store, and they happily replace or exchange it.

    The only way in which a drain pour is unacceptable is when you follow it up by bashing people online for enjoying the same beer you hated. Otherwise, you bought the thing so it's your right to stick the bottle in an orifice then run around screaming "I AM THE WALRUS" at a model of 1920's San Francisco, never mind pouring contents down the drain.

    I encourage the bros to make some Sam Adams Triple Bock beer bread and let me know how that tastes

    I'm pretty much the same way. In the past 6 or 7 years, I've only drain poured maybe 5 beers or so. Even if it's something I don't love, I'll still finish it as I find some beers come around a bit more as I get closer to finishing them. The ones I did pour I took at least 3 sips and when I realized I couldn't go further they went down the drain.
