i bet you use some sort of iodine product. my taste threshold for that is extremely low. i can always tell when someone uses an iodine product for any stage of their sanitation regimen.

The sudden love of Yuengling in my area confuses the heck out of me.
Stores get a premium price for it, and trendy bars have it on tap.

Yet it was just 10 years ago that it was one of the cheapest swills you could buy.
[cue flashback sequence] I was working a contract job in New Jersey. The owner of the shop would, every friday afternoon, fill the refrigerator with cheap beer as a reward for the crew. Finish work, get drunk. He was paying about $12 per case for the stuff in cans - less if he caught the sales. He always tried to catch the sales or else buy even cheaper swill. He was a kind-hearted, but cheap-assed old bastard.

Now around here I see it for $6 and $7 per 6-pack.

although on some Porters... I have to wonder, did a beer-brewer once take a swig of beer from a glass that someone had been using as an ash-tray, and think 'wow, this is great!' ?

+1 also on the fruit beers. Who thought THAT would be a good ...er, Fabulous idea?

the belgians, going back hundreds of years, among others. try some kriek, or three philosophers. also, mcewan bros. from england is very nice and made with real fruit. any fruit beer that is made with flavoring is crap, and most of them made in america are made with artificial flavoring.

Spaten Optimator has to be the most vile garbage I ever tasted, poored most of it out.
Guiness and Heiniken suck too IMO, as do all poser beers that taste like crap but people drink them to try to impress someone else.

I like beer. I like it because I like what it tastes like. I don't drink it for a poser image.
If it's bitter, it isn't good.
If you have to sip it slowly because taking a large gulp would make you hurl, it isn't a good beer.

Yesterday in Portland I had some Lucky Labrador Organic Golden Ale - quite possibly the worst smelling beer ever. Eight of us agreed that it smells like cat urine.
That said, their Superdog IPA is one of my favorite beers ever. Go figure.

Many years ago I had the worst possible beer. It was August, I had been working on my car in the in the garage two weeks before. I left half a can of Colt 45 sitting on the shelf. Two weeks later I was working on the car again. I had a fresh can but grabbed the wrong one. I got a mouth full of two week old beer, full of growing lumpy white & green bacteria. I spit it about 10 feet. I ran inside and gargled with some Tequila. I had the dry heaves for a few minutes. Finally I took a long pull on the Tequila, and wend back to working on my 914. I never did get sick from it. Now I drink my beer from bottles.

I have found that this dispenser helps the taste of even the worst beer ...

Head-spins and head-aches many years ago.

Least favorite, the empty one beside me.
Most favorite, the cold one in the fridge.
Black Label is nasty stuff though. We called them Black Disablers back in the day.

Dude, that ain't Guinness....

[Geronimo '74]

This is Guinness....



Tastes like the sticky side of electrical tape.....

Remember these?


"Brewed expressly for and with the personal approval of one of America's all-time great beer drinkers"


"In 1969, Pittsburgh Brewing Company signed an agreement with Dr. Robert Cade, inventor of Gatorade, to brew a lemon/lime malt beverage he had developed called Hop 'N Gator."

Schlitz? Don't friggin' bother. Curiosity got the best of me the other day. Now I know why the brand failed. Foul, but not the worst I have tasted. Geez, you guys are bringing back memories:

OE 800
Little Kings
Mickey's BM
Old Style
Busch

Should I continue.....? Nah, there are lot's of baaaad beers out there. I'll stick with a nice IPA myself. Racer 5, Modus Hoperandai, and Lagunitas are striking my fancy right now.
