i have found the most undrinkable beer ever

[fizzgig]

my roommate, bless his heart, bought a six pack of wild blue blueberry lager because the box looked cool but didn't really pay attention to what he was buying.

last night i was in the mood for a beer, and despite the fact that he said it wasn't that great, i, bless my heart, decided to give it a shot.

worst. idea. ever.

i popped the cap off the bottle and immediately felt like i'd been hit in the face with a five-pound box of blueberries. undeterred by the smell, i take a sip and it tasted like they just bottled this guy's bathwater:



it was cloyingly and overwhelmingly sweet. i was only able to tolerate half a bottle before i gave up on a beer that tasted like a blueberry italian soda with about four times the reasonable amount of syrup and half the amount of carbonation :puke:

we still have a couple of these in the fridge and i haven't the foggiest idea what the hell we're going to do with them...

1. I had the opposite experience last week -- loved a beer I wouldn't have tried

I was out with some friends, and one suggested a pitcher of summer wheat beer, something I had never tried. I tend to like dark beers, so the very idea seemed disgusting.

But it was delicious!

[fizzgig]

4. wheat beers are my favorite

one of the breweries in my town makes a pomegranate wheat beer...it's nice and light with just a hint of fruit and tang. i guess i was expecting something more along those lines when i decided to try this beer.

i'm glad you enjoyed the brew

[nomorenomore08]

5. Yeah, I tend to like the wheat beers a lot, especially the Belgian-style "white" ones.

Blue Moon is a good, readily available one - I know it's made by Coors and all, but I think it's delicious.

[fizzgig]

9. i love, love, LOVE! white beer

blue moon is good enough, but i rarely drink it because, with three microbreweries in town, i stick with their wheat beers

[Xipe Totec]

32. It's nice to be within walking distance of the Cambridge Brewing Company

I prefer the porters.

But as far as wheat beers go, my favorite is St. Augustine from Houston Tx.

[KatyMan]

54. Do you mean St Arnolds?

They brew a great batch of beers!

2. It looks tasty enough

but Pete's Wicked Winter Ale is as fruity as I can handle

[fizzgig]

6. i don't think i've ever had anything from pete's

the fruitiest beer i can handle is a pomegranate wheat beer made by one of the breweries in my town. the sweetness is so subtle and so refreshing

[Beer Snob-50]

3. I think this beer is an acquired taste

i do like it personally. if you want to send it my way, please do so.

[fizzgig]

8. i would be more than happy to send it your way

i'm sure it's an acquired taste, but i don't have the stomach to take the time to acquire it ;)

[Fox Mulder]

7. That actually sounds very good.

I'd love to try it sometime.

I honestly thought you were going to mention Milwaukee's Best. :puke:

[fizzgig]

10. i'd have a hard time deciding between this and the beast

:rofl:

[commander bunnypants]

16. Dont mess with The Beast

its good on a hot summer day on the rivah..

[Fox Mulder]

17. The Beast is never good.

:puke:

[commander bunnypants]

19. .

[driver8]

58. How dare you criticize "the Beast"!

When I was in college, I did an internship in Washington, DC. Most of the interns were poor college students so "Milwaukee's Best" became our beer of choice for our parties. We would load up a bathtub with ice, get a few cases of "the Beast", and the party was on!

If you got it cold enough and poured it into a glass, you hardly noticed that it tasted like shit!

[Magrittes Pipe]

11. I can top it.

Friday, I drank the unholy melange of Budweiser and Clamato. It came premixed in the same can.

I know what you're thinking: "why, Hedges, that sounds awful."

It tastes worse than you could possibly imagine.

This is not hyperbole, this is an actualy comparison -- it tastes like vomit. That's not my way of saying "it sucks" -- no, it actually tastes very much like human vomit. I can still taste the shit.

[fizzgig]

12. what the hell were you thinking man!

that is truly unholy...i'm tasting vomit just thinking about it

[DS1]

13. clams and budweiser?

just smelling that would make me wretch

[harmonicon]

24. Spring break '09!!!

You and me, buddy!! That's what we're writing on the side of the car for the drive down to daytona: clams and budweiser.

[libnnc]

14. I have seen that swill in the store

I can't imagine who enjoys it.

:scared: :puke:

[Beer Snob-50]

15. SOMEONE ACTUALLY CAME UP WITH THAT IDEA!!

my good god it sounds horrible.

[BarenakedLady]

18. Erp.

:puke:

That sounds absolutely vile.

[jmowreader]

21. Al, please tell me you didn't exchange money you worked to earn for that product

Budweiser and Clamato? Oh my.

I have six gallons of full-solvent ink we can't figure out what to do with, and any one of them would taste better than that shit Al drank.

(Oh yeah...if anyone wants some free Mutoh PJ ink, let me know; I have plenty.)

[JTG of the PRB]

39. We saw that crap in the liquor store last weekend!

Made me want to puke just looking at the can. I think Clamato is gross, and Budweiser is DEFINITELY gross... Yuck. Whoever thought up this idea needs to be institutionalized... Or taken fitted for a pair of cement shoes.

[eppur_se_muova]

67. It's not bad enough someone made a drink from CLAMS ?

Then they added tomatoes and said, "Hell, this isn't stinky enough, let's add some beer!"

It sounds like they had a lot of unsold fluids sitting around and just put them in one bottle to simplify inventory. Sort of like toxic waste.

[JVS]

20. Mmmm. Booberry!

[DarkTirade]

22. I found a good blueberry wheat a while back.

Can't remember the brand name, but if I find it again I'll letcha know. :)

It had a good aroma of blueberries, but you really couldn't taste them. Just that little hint of it in the smell.

[DarkTirade]

25. And on a similar vein

[fizzgig]

26. i think i could go for that

as i think i've mentioned to you before, my favorite beer is a pomegranate wheat...drooooooooool

i've also found a good agave wheat and a good raspberry wheat...i'd like to try a blackberry wheat :9

[DarkTirade]

27. The local brewing shop near me has little vials of concentrated fruit flavoring

including blueberry, blackberry and rasberry.

No agave though. :P And I didn't look for pomegranite, so I don't know if they have that.

[fizzgig]

28. if you are ever out my way, i will buy a few rounds of the pomegranate wheat

it is to die for

[DarkTirade]

33. Well, according to your profile...

I'm already in your area. :P

[av8rdave]

62. I had a lot of fruit mix beers in Belgium

Tastes great, more filling, but let me warn you...they will give you a WICKED hangover (so I've been told).

[newmajority]

52. Rogue Brewery in Newport Oregon used to make a Cherry & Cranberry that was awesome

Unfortunately they discontinued that a few years ago :(

Still have a large selection to choose from though...

[Orsino]

63. Sweetwater Blue?

I dig blueberries, but am not much of a beer drinker. This stuff was tasty, I thought, just barely hinting at the fruit.

http://www.sweetwaterbrew.com/brews.php?section=blue

[mainegreen]

23. We have some great blueberry beers in Maine.

Yummy.

[Iggo]

29. Worse than Lucky Lager?

Oh, you poor thing.

:hug:

[NNadir]

30. You have, apparently, never tasted "Utica Club."

I had a case of it when I was 19. We had a hippie rock band and it took a band of 4 19 year old guys and their entire entourage 6 months to drink it.

Actually we didn't drink it. We just let it go flat.

[galledgoblin]

38. D: BLASPHEMER

well, ok, it's not the greatest beer ever, and I give it extra points for childhood nostalgia: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yn7b2djfMKY
my uncle was crazy about Schultz and Dooley!

still, I wouldn't say it's a terrible beer, just not as good as other brands.

[Xipe Totec]

31. If you're going to go with blueberry, try Sea Dog

Best if they have it on tap, but bottled will do in a pinch.

[DarkTirade]

35. That's the one I was talkin' about!

Good stuff. :thumbsup:

[Xipe Totec]

40. One of the pleasures of being in Massatwoshits!

[DarkTirade]

41. Hell, I drank that one when I was living in FL.

[Xipe Totec]

45. On tap?

:evilgrin:

[DarkTirade]

47. Nope, just bottled.

I spent the last three years there working the night shift, so I never got to go out much anyway.

But once we found that, we'd make sure we had a few bottles every poker night. :)

[semillama]

56. Another one that is just great is Bar Harbor True Blue

Just a hint of blueberries.

[Missy Vixen]

34. I'll see you and raise you

Pyramid's Apricot Weizen is the worst beer I have ever tasted in my life. I do not understand who drinks this stuff. Obviously, someone is, because they keep SELLING IT.



Imagine fruit nectar and beer. Yeah. That's it.

Ewwww.
Julie

[newmajority]

49. Definitely the throwaway flavor in the Pyramid lineup

Now Thunderhead IPA, on the other hand, that kicks ass. It's kicking mine right now! :beer:

[crim son]

36. LOL! I hate beer but have tried a local brewery's blueberry ale and loved it.

Apparently I'm no connoisseur. :hi:

[Initech]

37. I am not a big fan of beers brewed with fruit.

I have no problem adding fruit to beer (eg lime with Dos Equis, lemon with Hefewizen, etc), though.

[China_cat]

42. They're probably better than the Yugoslavian beer

my husband was given. I don't drink at all but it's very telling that he's had a case of this stuff for over a year now and there's only 2 bottles gone.

He keeps checking the garden for slugs because he can't even give the rest of it away.

[Wapsie B]

43. For a minute I thought you were talking about Schmidt beer.

:puke: :puke:

Still for me fruit and beer do not belong together.

[leeroysphitz]

44. That sounds FOUL. I'm sorry you had to endure it but...

It isn't the WORST beer ever. It CAN'T be.

That title must be reserved, for all time, for "Crazy Ed's Cave Creek Chili Beer."



The picture above is accurate. Each bottle contains an honest to goodness chili pepper that suffuses the mediocre 12 oz. of micro brewed beer and turns the entire vile concoction into deadly burning POISON. One person MIGHT finish a single bottle with only an evening of miserable burning lips, tongue, gums and throat-basically the entire gastrointestinal tract to show for it but no human could drink an entire six pack without a trip to the nearest E.R.

It's like drinking concentrated habanero juice. Think of the movie Alien and the face-hugger's molecular acid blood racing through deck after deck of the Nostromo. I'd say it's the beer from Hell but Satan himself winces at the memory of it's taste and refuses shipment.

[newmajority]

48. Aw come on! Chili beer ROCKS.

And those aren't habaneros. I think they're serranos, actually.

You gotta watch the expiration date on that beer though. it definitely does NOT keep well for a long period of time. You get an old bottle and it goes flat, it's like drinking pickle juice. :puke:

[DarkTirade]

64. That's the sort of thing you only drink on a dare, or if you're already drunk as hell.

Or both.

[martymar64]

66. Drinking gasoline is less painful than THAT swill

I tried one once. It tore me the hell up inside.

[Lethe]

46. i'm sure it's much better than Red Dog

and icehouse

[jobycom]

50. Once in Taos I had a green chili beer. It was warm. Sorry, I can't say more without gagging.

[Danger Mouse]

51. what about PBR? that shit is foul.

:hide:

[driver8]

60. Cold PBR on tap is good stuff!!

We were at an art festival in Los Angeles a couple of months ago that took place at the old PBR Brewery. They were serving PBR on tap and it was pretty good!

[asteroid2003QQ47]

53. Use it for slugbait!

"Are you sure it wasn't slugs that are eating the plants but your are seeing the earwigs? I would put out some slugbait (beer in a bowl that is buried level to the ground for organic) and see what you find."

http://forums2.gardenweb.com/forums/load/organic/msg061850035958.html

Sadly, beer that is fit only for slugbait is not in short supply.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

55. I've had cherry beer. Similar to your beer. Ugh

Does anyone make peyote beer? That would also taste terrible, but what a buzz!
:rofl:

[driver8]

57. I don't like fruit tasting beer!!

If I want fruit, I'll eat fruit!!

Quit making beer taste like fruit!!!

[bif]

59. How about Pumpkin Ale?

My wife bought me a six pack, thinking it sounded interesting. I'm not sure "interesting" is the word I'd use to describe it. I served it to guests I didn't like a whole lot.

[Rambis]

61. 500 year old wheat beer

Herold Pivovar Bohemian Wheat Lager


States that sell it

They black lager is fantastic! see Michael Jackson article below
http://www.beerhunter.com/documents/19133-001610.html

CHEERS!

[Blue-Jay]

65. Fruity beer is an affront to God.

But Wiedemann beer is worst shit ever created!
