You know it's time for a drain pour when ...

...when I am drinking and not enjoying the experience.

 

I drain pour a lot of beer. Why get fatter on beer that I don't particularly enjoy?

 

If you are, we're in the same minority.

 

I rarely buy and/or open beers that are bad enough for me to drain pour, but Mikkeller Black Islay Edition was one of these exceptions. I only took two little sips before pouring out the remainder of this travesty. It smelled horrible, but I had to taste it before pouring it out. It tasted even worse than it smelled. Probably the worst beer I have ever had.

 

If 5 of the pumpkin beer six pack is still in your closet from Halloween last year. And I like pumpkin beers..

 

I have the other 5 bottles of the 6pk. in the trunk of my car,I'm gonna dump them out.
Unless you wanna make a trade?

I'm sure its better "on tap" in Poland.......lol.

And it is that bad,I'd say bud light tastes like Pliny compared to Zywiec. (imo, of course)

 

i will not drain pour beers, but i have gotten rid of some old beers my friends have left over from a party....talking about BMC stuff. i have what we would call fresh BMC in the bottom of my beer cooler for my friends to drink. I tossed 2 year old Amberbock last week b/c the bottles began to get rust around the caps lol. aside from that, i have not drain poured a beer but once in the past two years...Troegs Mad Elf..way too sweet for my liking and i was looking forward to it. i tried to taste it at differnet temperatures and did everything in my power to not drainpour, but i could not drink an entire secondn glass.

 

I've held on to a few infected beers and some bad homebrew with the hopes of someday distilling them. Drain pouring is only a last resort, I'll try to work my way through most of the bottle first. Only a few beers that I've had to resort to dumping.

 

Depends if it's a weeknight.Sometimes after I open my 3rd or 4th bomber AND wife starts bitchin I might fall asleep with a partial bomber in the door of the fridge.Often time I will drink it the next night.It usually still has enough carbonation in it.Hell I have a Chasin' Freshies in the fridge right now.

 

When it tastes like ketchup.

 

when i crack a barleywine at 3:00 am, and a moment of clarity makes me realize i want to be alive the next day.
