    ? What if its just a vile beer, not necessarily an improperly stored beer that has gone bad but a beer that was not formulated correctly due to improper chemistry or bad brewing practices?

    Had this problem with a ten bottle pack of Wychwood Forest Fruit beer at Christmas. No clue what they were trying to achieve, make alcoholic raspberry vinegerette is the winning bet so far.

    Passed it on to my little brother on Christmas day after he polished off the last of the Kraken rum, and I just cracked on with the box of Budvar Dark. A merry Christmas was had by all.

    Act like an Immature, masculine guy of 74 years old and drink it. You may die tomorrow.

    Well, you've already tried giving it away to friends, so I won 't suggest taking it to a Super Bowl party next week (guess I just did anyway.). Are there any sort of clubs around you, like a VFW or a church who might be having a Super Bowl party? I'll bet they would be happy for a donation.

    I had that problem with a couple of cans (yes cans) and a few bottles. I gave them to my brother and asked his opinion. He's the guy that introduced me to good beers! Sorry bro! Still love you man! :-D

    Seriously, you sound just like my dad. If it is you, bring me up some Cigar City when you come back. :grinning:

    I've got a shelf in my fridge I've designated as "roommates may drink any beer on this shelf." Problem takes care of itself.

    My roommate is pickier than me, so that hasn't helped.

    I tried the slug bait thing last spring with some unwanted Blue Moon. The slugs left threatening notes on my door...

    Dude...WTF is wrong with you? Bring it to a party whereas you're looked at as the guy who HOOKED IT UP, and leave it there...giving the facade that your generous and likeable. ;-)

    Although I've never bought "cases" of beer I didn't care for.

    I drink it, or my wife will bake/cook with it. But I've never purchased 2, let alone 1, case of anything I haven't tried before to know whether or not I like it.

    This and as I read it, she doesn't have cases of 1 beer she dislikes. She had several beers she didn't care for, knew she wasn't going to enjoy and they added up to a large quantity - might even been 2 cases worth.
    And having read the posts - it appears she has donated them to another BA here who will take/use and enjoy them.

    No harm, no foul.
