    My cellar has a few that I often look at and wonder "will I ever get around to that one?". May be a different issue here but similar. There are so many options now and that is a good problem to have!

    I keep trying to zoom in on that Finback but can’t tell what the beer name is or what style. I love Finback!
    Also, Bronx brewery is pretty solid. The reviews for the beer pictured here are decent.
    I say give both a try.

    It is Finback "Static Breeze", triple IPA with citrus fruit.

    I like beer from Bronx Brewery. I like beer and I like tea, but the idea of tea beer is unappealing to me. It was appealing to Amy until she actually tried it.

    And I guess I have 2 different types of 'ginger beer'. One is actual beer brewed with ginger. The other is alcoholic soda.

    I would either use it to cook with or post a list of what you have any maybe another BA member would want them for a trade. If that fails then just bring them to the next party you attend/BBQ to unload. I would bet that you can move these out pretty fast. I avoid pouring mine just because I found that most go very good in Chili or stews so that is my route for old stock or items I don't like.
    Cheers

    Drink it, share it, cook with it or drain pour it. Mine seems to find its way into my 80 quart craw fish pot when we are having mud bugs.! Anything flat, stale or skunked gets drain poured.

    On set I usually just give it to the lighting guy or gal. They have to watch so much sex I'm sure they're numb to it and probably just want a frosty one at the end of a long (no pun intended) day.

    I save Beers I don't like for Company! Mostly they are my wives friends and they think all Beers are the same. I keep the good stuff stashed away .

    Most of what I don't want to drink are still good, tradable beers, and somebody may want them. Maybe something had a flavor I don't like (licorice!) that I wasn't aware of when buying it, or I cellared it and didn't like it as much as I thought I would. For those items, I attempt to trade shelfies for shelfies and offer more than the other person, give them away to friends, or drink them at a time where I'm just looking for alcohol intake and don't care as much about the taste.

    The solution to this problem is like the best way to solve an unwanted pregnancy. Don't get pregnant in the first place.

    I give my unwanted beer to friends and pretend that I like it even though I'd rather drain pour. If they like it, I'm happy. I'd rather know someone else is enjoying it than drain pouring anyways.

    I second this. If I have beer I don't like, I make sure I drink it after I have had a few.

    I’ll use old/bad beer to boil Brauts. Or I do a semi-annual open, try a sip and dump. The recycling guys must think we are a couple of lushes on those weeks.
