[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Dumped Out My First Beer Today (Page 1 of 3)

Yes I had to dump it. First time I ever had to other than when I was 16 and the cops were coming. First off I can be described as a beer snob. I actually like a beer that has lots of beer taste unlike most of the soda being sold as beer that the mainstream likes. Sorry, but after drinking some of the finest beers in the world, they are really like drinking club soda. Anyhow, to my point. I was at the store getting food and such when I happened down the beer aisle. Normally its a wasted trip because most anything you can get at the supermarket is petty much yellow club soda. We all have our "well, its better than..." back up beer so I usually grab a 6 of Sam Adams. Just their regular Boston Lager, not their other crap. My girlfriend likes Blue Moon, its not that bad really, kind of a weak attempt at Tucher Heffe Weissen. They didn't have any. They did have Sam Adams Cherry Wheat. My instinct told mt hell no but I wanted to get something she may drink. I picked it up and gave it a shot. She saw me take a swig and about throw up. She said I looked just like a 5 yr old who was forced some of the nastiest cough syrup. (think yellow Traiminic). There was no way in hell she was gonna try it when she knows I love beer that most people are too scared to try. I dumped the crap out in the grass. It belongs there. Right next tot the dog piss. Be warned, do not attempt to drink that horrible crap. NExt time I will post a poll before I make a purchase like that. WEll, it looks like I am opening my last bottle of Chimay Trappiste. |
I bought a 6 pack of Sam Adams a week ago. It was their sampler pack with the Black Lager, Brown Ale and Honey Porter. I spilled the 3 bottles I opened down the sink, that stuff is total garage, but then again I'm not a beer drinker(so what do I know  ), Sake(Socky for you non nihongo-ga understanding people) is my drink of choice.

While we've got the beer snob gurus in here, can someone please tell me... Why, for the love of GOD, do they only sell nasty FLAT ass-tasting Guiness drought in 12-packs and the delicious flavorful satisfying heavy stout in 6-packs? People only buy the drought because they're ignorant, they don't know better. They get it, it tastes like ass, and then they get the wrong image about the almighty brilliance that is Guiness. |
So, its the stout thats the good beer? I'll have to pick some up tomorrow. Vulcan94 |
Correct. Drought=Stale Flat Asswater Heavy Stout=Nectar of the gods!! |
Oh hell no, the stout is not the good beer. Regular Guin. is the normal stuff and extra stout is the variety with a bunch of carbonation in it. JMO, I don't care much for the extra stout. Guinness, although my favorite beer, is a beer that you either like or you don't. I love it, but can see how most people would find it disgusting. I have weird taste though. It's much much much better across the atlantic from the draft than it is over here from the bottle. Never had it from the keg over here yet, would like to try it. Also, Sam Adams is one of the only beers I've ever poured out also. I'd rather drink 5 keystones than 1 sam adams. That shit was HORRIBLE, might have been skunked or something though. It tasted like shampoo? |

beer shouldn't have fruity stuff in it like cherries, that's for Kool Aide. I think there's a Man Law against fruit in beer ETA: Found the Man Law... Q:Can you put a lime or any other fruit in your beer? A: No, fruit is completely off limits in beer. If one was to put fruit in a beer, they might as well put a little umbrella in it and call it a "beera colada". Man Law: "Don't Fruit the Beer." |
HAHAHA I did the same thing about a month ago with the EXACT SAME BEER. I am not a beer snob, I got through 3 swigs. That stuff is horrible. first beer i wasted my whole life |
If you like sake, you probably have defective taste apparatus anyway. 
|
If you'd done a poll, you'd have been given the wave off on the Cherry Wheat.
Anything like Corsendonk Pale? <==Currently sipping my backup swill; Smithwick's ETA: To all the guy's suggesting Dark, Eastern European Beers: +1 Good stuff. |
Next time you are at the class 6 go in the cooler and look at the belgian beers. They have one called cuvee diabolique that is awesome, get one and try it out. As you walk in it's on the top shelf at the back of the first row, slightly to your right. It comes in a big ass 750ml bottle so one is really all you need. 
|
+1 Lindemann's Kriek is a favorite of mine... |
LOL!!!  Big old +1 |
Guiness is just Irish Budweiser. Just about every other microbrewed stout is far better. See, it's not just about what kind of ingredients you use to make beer, it's also about how much you use. |

I too am a beer snob. My wife also likes hefe weizens and Blue moon best. We too tried the Sam Adams Cherry wheat. We both poored our beers out and threw away the other 4 beers in the 6 pack. It was awful!!!! BTW...you're being kind calling American macros "club soda". I'd call them "piss impregnated dish water".

You must've made a terrible mistake. I also am a Beer Snob, and Sam Adams Cherry Wheat is a delicious beer (but I wouldn't want more than one in a sitting). I suppose we'll have to agree to disagree. eta: it appears from the verbiage tha tyou and all the other posters who've poured out the Cherry Wheat in disgust were drinking it straight from the bottle. It needs to be poured into a glass and allowed to breathe for a few moments. I find that this really improves the taste (and you can appreciate the cherry odor in a more pleasant way) |
For God's sake, it's not SUPPOSED to be a Kriek Lambic! Totally different! |
Where do you live that you have been finding that?! It's my favorite beer, and one of the reasons I am looking forward to moving to jolly olde England. Boddingtons is very nice as well, and makes a good substitute.

although I don't like cherry wheat I don't think its "bad" and I could certainly drink it. I want to talk to the people talking about the "Irish" beer they love so much. Most Guinness that you drink here, and indeed most of any major popular foreign brand (Heineken etc) is brewed in Canada. Mainly because its much cheaper then actually shipping it from the country of origin to here, and they can still label it as an imported beer. |
Oh hell that looks good. Where can I buy that? |
+1 I enjoy the Chimay Blue Label Have a big bottle in the fridge I tried Harpoon UFO (Un Filtered Offering) Rasberry Wheat. I was like a damn wine cooler. I was expecting a hint of rasberry this shit was pink. Trappist is the way to go |
