Intentionally tasting bad beer!

I wouldn't even drain pour a Shit Beer. It's just STUPID.

 

This is the only example I can think of where I've actually used liquor as a chaser for my beer.

Absolutely horrific, but it gets the job done if you need to get sloppy.

 

OOH NO YOU DIDNT!

 

What do you do with them?

 

oh yes id did, and you would have too

 

That's pretty much, from John Q. public, "Hot damn, let's get drunk and wreck shit." (!!!!!)

 

There is no need to taste infected beer. Trust me you will know it when you taste it. There is no need to taste Adjunct Lagers unless it is a style you think you will enjoy. As for off flavors, there is a kit for this. My homebrew club is getting it so we can all learn what the "bad" flavors we taste in beer actually are, and learn how to avoid brewing them.

 

It's one thing to taste bad beers for brewing/knowledge purposes, but tasting BMC only tells you what a bad lager tastes like, not a bad beer. If you're doing it for academic/practical purposes you're going to have to taste more than just BMC.

 

Do you really need to practice to know what does and does not taste good to you?

 

Doppelbocks are lagers.

How opinions can differ. I tried it twice, and the only reason I didn't pour the first away is because I was at a bar. Would've been frowned upon immensely.

 

It's not stupid at all.. Why drink it if it sucks?? I never understood this sentiment, that it's some kind of waste to dump a beer that you don't enjoy. If you're choking down beers that you hate, simply because you don't want to part with that 12 oz serving of alcohol then you need to re-evaluate your motivation for drinking beer. I like to get as shitty as the next guy every so often but I like to arrive at that point via beer that tastes good.. I'd throw away a bag of weed too, if it tasted like lawn clippings and smelled like ashtray.

 

Im setting up an AAL tasting at the apartment sometime. Then mixing in a few lagers like Dortmunder and Prima pils.

 

I'm not a fan of it either, but its score testifies to some popularity.

 

Wow, the beer in that glass looks rancid. And a Stone of all brews! How sad



BMC beers serve their purpose. You can't go out to a club and pound down 6 oatmeal stouts for example. They are designed for quick delivery, and bearable taste. Personally, I enjoy regular Coors. Sometimes I think people forget regular Coors even exists, but it aint half bad.

 

What he said ^

 

If you really want some bad beer get yourself some Sam Adams Triple Bock. That was the one and only beer that I've ever drainpoured. I tried to just power through it but it was just too fuckdamn bad, some of the reviews are pretty hilarious as well.

 

There are different levels of "bad." There is the "no flavor" bad and the "offensive flavor" bad. The "no flavor" bad is what most people drink, be it in the form of bmc or some other lager, pils, or even ale by a less skilled brewer. The "offensive flavor" bad is usually due to infection, bad batch, or a weird style that just isn't palatable by even the most seasoned beer drinker.

If you start trying random ales from random little breweries or you start trying every macro lager out there, you won't get much from it as all the beers will be similar with little differentiation to stand out. The better beers have strong unique flavors that make them stand out or just exemplify a certain style of beer.

That being said, everyone's taste is different, so have fun exploring.
