Beer/wine/liquor

One of the worst beers I ever bought was this stuff called 'Wild Blue'. It was marketed as a "blueberry ale," and it initially had the deceiving appearance (from the packaging) of a craft brew, yet later turned out to be something made by Anheuser-Busch. I was expecting something with a mild blueberry flavor, but when I poured this stuff it looked and smelled more like koolaid instead of beer, and had a sickeningly sweet flavor. I had to pour the entire six-pack down the drain, because there was no way I could drink it. That was, by far, the worst beer I ever spent money on.

Of course there was also the low-point in my life when I was broke and drinking Steel Reserve almost every night. This lasted for about a month or two. I still don't know what kind of lasting damage I might have done to my body during this time.

 

i've tried that blueberry beer. not so good, but i wouldn't have poured them down the drain.

steel reserve is pretty terrible tasting too

 

Ironically pbr in china goes for a lot

i noticed right away that something was off when they said it came from wooden casks. either they were flat out lying to the Chinese people or it is a different pbr. as for the $44. price for a beer i have paid that for 2 different beers although shipping across the atlantic is going to cost you a pretty penny and it did.

i have had the blueberry beer, dont remember what it tasted like but although i never felt the need to get it again i dont remember it being bad enough to pour.

off the top of my head i think mine was a black ipa. it had either a lion or an eagle on the label. (i purchased two dark beers that day and i dont remember which was the good one and which was the bad one) anyway it tasted like someone took a perfectly good....or at least a perfectly average black lager and poured a bad....really bad ipa into it.

 

ooooh

 

yes, steel reserve is only to get fucked up...you're not supposed to drink it for "the taste"

 

Green Flash Big Hop Red.

 

Just picked up some count shak-u-la.

 

Tonight.

This. Beer. Is. Fucking. Awesome.

 

That looks delicious.

My mom brought me some hemp beer back from Germany once. But it was a lager uke:

Why do you pour with so much head?

 

I pour the way you're supposed to. It's just that I snap the picture within seconds of pouring.

 

Says who? I never see anyone pour like that.

 

Says me.

Also, this beer gets really good reviews.

how do you like this pour?





that's saranac white ipa. pretty damn good, first time having it. i don't like IPAs much usually.

 

I wasn't going to drink tonight, but alas, here I am with a Bitch Creek in my hand. :cheers2:

 

I've had to go easy on the 9% on up IPAs. I wake up feeling like shit. Dang, they're potent.

 

I did that to myself last weekend. It's like a red wine hangover if you go too crazy.

 

i got a real taste for Flying Dog's "Raging Bitch" begian style IPA in maryland when i was there....puts hair on your chest...:2thumbsup:

 

That is a good one, and by far the best beer from Flying Dog I've had.
