I've drank a lot of beer over the years and still do. My circle of friends and I go to local brew pubs quite frequently to try out the new ones. There are types I know I don't like so I simply avoid those. As to the worst, be damned if I can remember the name, but it was probably 25-30 years or so ago in Antalya Turkey, and whatever this crap was gave me a headache like nothing I ever had. I remember drinking about a gallon of water to make myself feel better. Needless to say after that I stuck to drinking beers I knew.

Harpoon Brewing Co Christmas beer.Disgusting, massive quantities of netmeg and cinnamon. Took one sip and told my bartender to pour it down the sewer, which he did then gave me a different beer and didn’t charge me for the first.

Was gifted a 6er from some brewery out of the Finger Lakes.
There are some great breweries in the Finger Lakes too, thats sad! I agree, peanut butter and most sour beers are a hard pass for me. Tried a Smor's beer at the state fair also. Porter with the glass rimmed in chocolate with a marshmellow floating in it. Was better than i expected.

This shit is terrible. Tastes like red wine and Natural Ice mixed together.

Yeah I am not a sour fan and don't much of anything Victory produces. Although Steve H Steve H might not agree I always disliked Genny pounders that everyone from Rochester NY seemed to love.

Also nothing wrong with a bunch of Mich Ultras on a hot summer day.

Mich Ultra is my daily go to beer. I do like sours from time to time. Have several in the fridge I drink on special occasions but that victory stuff is pure garbage.

Genny wasn't my favorite brand by far. Though, I fought myself after doing some 12 Horse Ale. The Bock isn't bad either.
After 4 years in West Germany. I had a hankering for more stout beers. Thankfully, that passed after a year or so. Craft beers back in the late 80's and 90's were far and few apart. And top label brews were a rare treat back then on my income. Can you say old Milwaukee best?
 
I tried something from Victory once. Don't remember what it was and it was OK.

Do they still have beer on a stick at the fair?
I got the full flight. 3 in the stick and a fourth for your free hand

Drank many of them in my Oswego days except we called it Swilwaukee best.

I havent seen it at the Summit stand. They have a whole craft brew area that is a four beer sampler in one of the buildings. All MN breweries.
 
Sour beers freaked me out a long time but had a buddy into them give me some Jolly Pumpkin on HOT summer day and it blew my mind. Lots of sour beers are nasty yet people say their supposed to taste that way... BS.

Local popular Christmas beer is served with a rim of "pixie dust" (cinnamon sugar) and I decline.

Agree with you guys. Victory is overrated. IMO, there is a TON of craft that is overrated and mediocre at best.

I am a Double or Imperial IPA guy. Someone left 5 of 6 behind after a party.

I wondered why there were 5 left until I drank one. Absolutely the worse modern day beer.

In college we used to drink Pearl from San Antonio Texas I think, must have been because .99 per six pack. At least it was drinkable, this is not.
 
I stopped experimenting with beer long ago. Given a choice between beer and whisky, the latter wins every time. If it's hot: ice, Canadian whiskey, lemon lime soda or ginger ale. I haven't met a Hefeweizen I didn't love. Squeeze of lemon in the summer...yum.

Not a fan of ANY light beer. Used to love Guinness, but they've changed something here in the US. Tastes like weak cola to me now. Great for stews, though.
 
Lots of fantastic craft breweries near me north of Seattle, so I have access to some pretty good stuff.
That said, I also do not enjoy sours, or the type euphemistically referred to as "farm style". This uses a natural yeast, captured from the air, which more often than not tastes like horse manure.
After I turned 21, one of the first legal beers I tried at a bar was called "Old Peculier". I should have payed more attention to the label.

When I was younger. We loved to go on road trips to Canada and pick up a couple of cases of Brador. I can't remember if it was the taste, or the higher alcohol content. That I liked. Bonus was the fireworks that we'd pick up on the way home.

HAHA when I went to Canada when I was in college ..about 1987-88 I brought 3 cases of glass bottle Brador and XXX on the PLANE in carry on (think over head storage) because they were more alcohol than any states beer. Far cry from the triple IPA that are 12-14% now...lol
