re: Tell Me The Best & Worst Beer You’ve Ever Tasted

Worst - Hamm's

Best - Bourbon Barrel aged stouts and barleywines. Any of the really good ones are my favorite, BCBS, CBS, Maple Shade, a bunch of prairie beers, really like the Bourbon Barrel aged Grand Reserve Parish used to do, black note stout, Double Barrel OMJ

Worst: yonder hefe tin roof/any b1 tin roof

I’d recommend you give tin roof another shot. Their beers have gotten much better.

Best- changes all the time. Russian river supplication is probably the one but I’ve only had to once

Worst: I’ve drank some shite beers and I still
Will have a natty or a lone star light from time to time. However this beer below is the only one I’ve drain poured. It is $3 a flat for a reason, this beer is so assy

I gotta say, it has been a long time since I've had what I would call a really bad beer.

I know Untappd is not the be-all, end-all of whether a beer is good or not, but if I'm trying to narrow down my choice, I'll look the beers up. If a beer has a 3.4 rating with 2k reviews, I'll pass. If one beer is a 4.0 and the other is a 4.2, I'll sample both of them and pick the one I like. Untappd keeps me from trying the really shitty beers.

Portland has too many cicerones certified beer snobs. Those guys take pride in trashing local beers and can skew the total reviews. They usually grade 1/2 point lower than your average person, and then, of course, the average person usually gives the beer whatever rating the beer already has...

Worst is easy: King’s Ale, a beer brewed in 1902 from a mash stirred by the king. Rebottled in 1977. Absolutely undrinkable when uncorked in 2016; tasted like soy sauce mixed with old shoes. Tried again with another bottle in 2017, it was a tiny bit better, but still pretty damn awful.

So I would say the best ever was Julius, the best ever that is readily available and consistent is by far Two Hearted Ale.

The worst... Milwaukees Best Light.

Best: Spotted Cow

Worst: Wild Blue

Worst: Magic Hat #9

I was getting ready to post that as my worst, too. I had one of those "oh, we know you like craft beer so we picked this out for you!" gifts a few years back and they got me Magic Hat. Holy shite. I was at their house and like HAD to choke on down. It tasted like dishwashing detergent or something. Just awful, awful, awful...cannot believe it's still being made.

Best: Impossible to answer but I would put circa ~2010 Hopslam on the list. It was before the saturated IPA market, one of the earlier beers you had to actively hunt down, and was unique given it's lack of sweetness despite high ABV. Delicious stuff. Of course, nowadays it's just a good but run of the mill IIPA.

Best: Ghost in the Machine
Worst: Wild Cat Ice
