Worst: Lone Star

I can't really pin down one that I would call the absolute best.

Worst: Sam Adams Latitude 48

Best: This changes too often, but the last fantastic beer I had was Great Raft You, Me & Everyone We Know aged on black berries.

ETA: Farewell Transmission by Great Raft was absolutely awful, IMO.

Worst is easy: Amnesia IPA


This.

That shite is/was terrible.

It taught me a lesson in just buying a 6-pack because I saw something new on the shelves though.


As for the best... a cabernet sauvignon barrel aged imperial stout from Bozeman Brewing. Or maybe DDH Ghost. Or maybe Tin Roof Juju. Or maybe Dark Lord. Too many good beers out there.

Best: Trillium Headroom

Worst: I’m not positive but that Abita Pecan whatever was downright awful. Don’t know if they still brew that one. I hope not.

As much as I want to say Amnesia IPA was the worst, that Bayou Teche Anniversary Persimmon Sour takes the cake. That stuff was vile.

I can't say what the best beer I ever tasted was. There are too many in the running.

Worst: Magic Hat Electric Peel IPA

Best, depends on the style.
IPA/DIPA: Probably something like LaCumbre Project Dank or their Winner Chicken Dinner IIIPA. Treehouse SAP. Ghost around 2015/2016 I remember being incredible.

Stout type: Barrel Aged 10-50; Sierra Nevada Narwhal; Brash Cortado has been absolute fire the last few times I’ve had it.

Worst: agree about the Wild Blue. Tied with Coastal Empire pina colada gose. Horrible.

Best: whatever those firemen at mile 12 of the half marathon we’re handing out Saturday at the R&R. Haha!

Best: St. Arnold Summer Pils
Worst: hard to choose because I've had so many bad IPAs. Recently, I bought a couple New Belgium Trippels. Just terrible. I can't even give the second one away.

Worst: Ground Breaker IPA No. 5

IPA No. 5 is brewed with roasted chestnuts, roasted lentils, and Belgian-style candi sugar. Crystal and Santiam hops are used during the boil and for dry-hopping. Crystal hops bring the classic Northwest IPA pine and citrus notes while Santiam adds hints of tropical and stone fruits.

ETA: I'll put this up against Amnesia...

I had no idea that tropical fruits and stone fruits tasted like arse.

I can't pick a best. Too many beers and beer styles to choose from.

Worst: Back in 1995, I was drinking a Dixie beer in the dark while listening to music and as I took a swig I felt a rather large slimy thing in my mouth. I rushed to the bathroom and spit it out. As far as I could tell, it was a bit of algae or slime that built up in the pipes and happened to release into that bottle. As I was financially strapped at that time, I drank the rest of the six pack but in the bright light and after closely studying each bottle before drinking (as best I could- brown bottles)...Too many good beers to pick a single best.
