    Only once. A bomber of Torpedo that was way off the mark.

    Rarely, but Drain pour is usually a bomber I don't want to finish:

    Cognac Jesus - infected...poured the whole thing
    Southern Tier Grand Arbor - drank half
    The Bruery Autumn Maple - drank half
    Alesmith - Old Numbskull....should've shared this

    I don't dump beer down the drain too often, but I don't have a problem doing it if need be. I tend to mostly acquire stuff I know I'll like, but if I don't like it, I'll dump it and grab something else.

    Whenever I don't like something. I don't drink just to get drunk.

    Just use any beer you don't like in cooking, the worst as boiling water for pasta. Try this, it will turn out well nearly every time.

    Very rarely maybe less than 1%, I won't drain pour unless that beer is really awful!

    I drain pour more now than I use to. I brew 95+% of the beer I drink and so the only beer I usually buy is either at a brewery or when I pick up some singles of beers I've never tried to get inspiration for brewing. I end up pouring several of the new to me beers if they aren't up to snuff because I'd rather just drink something I've got on tap instead of forcing myself to drink crappy beer. No need to waste my physique and liver on bad beer, so I have no problem drain pouring if I see it necessary.

    I forget, but I also work at a brewery and am around beer pretty much all of the time.

    Normally, I'll drainpour stuff if it's infected, but recently I drainpoured 2 beers because I was so disappointed with them. Both are from Great Divide, I guess there's a trend?

    I'm pretty sure Horny Goat Peanut Butter Porter was the only thing I've ever poured out.
