Worst rated beers

[scyclonekid]

I’ve been looking at brewing my own beer again. Not sure I want to do 5 gallon, 2 gallons is what I did before.

I love dark and flavorful beers but the most I can drink is one or two. I once went to the Hessian House and ordered a Guinness and my wife said "so you're not ordering dinner?!"

Guinness is actually a relatively low calorie, low abv beer compared to most craft. My recollection is that it's lower than Budweiser in both categories.

I'm really into sours right now and I typically enjoy Toppling Goliath beers. My wife was so happy to bring home their Strawberry Shortcake Sour. It was the worst. I couldn't even drink it. I gave it to a friend and she threw it away.

Same here. The Big Grove sour is outstanding.

Its like drinking a bud light. I love drinking it as a session beer in front of others that don't know better because they think you're some kind of badass.

Guinness is solid to drink German style. Out of the can just off the shelf. Doesn’t need to be chilled.

Sign me up for a Marzen. I really enjoy the maltiness and caramel finish. Yuengling makes a good one, but I prefer Sam Adams Octoberfest.

#106 Hite is actually the most common Korean beer although it doesn’t say so on there. I’ve been to lots of Korean restaurants where it’s the only beer. It’s like a Bud only lighter flavor…yeah. The other similar one is “OB” which is a little worse imho. I get Hite quite often in Korea Town because the huge bottle is usually cheap and I am cheap.

I drank a lot of it when I was in Korea along with plenty of Soju. Decent beer.

Yeah I like it with the boiling cauldron of spicy soup I usually get. Much of that food wouldn’t go with another kind of beer.

The only TG sour that isn't a mess is the original Dragon Fandango. All the variants suck.

I really enjoy the flavor of hops, and like the big IPAs until they get overbearingly sweet or heavy - which many of the hazys are starting to do.

Maybe I'm in the minority, but I don't get why anyone would buy a local breweries version of "busch light" i.e. blonde beers, pilsners, golden ales etc. usually $2-$4 more expensive per 6 pack than your Busch, Miller, Bud, Coors Lights etc. and basically the same. When you're at the brewery drinking and you don't care for craft beer, sure great option.

Some pilsners and lagers from craft breweries are really tasty. Definitely not the same as a light beer

-the quality of the ingredients are better
-it’s fresher
-it tastes better
-you support a local business instead of a huge conglomerate

Thanks...I remember drinking it and Grain Belt back in the day when one could buy a 12 pack of Grain Belt cans for a couple of bucks.

I perhaps didn't make the most astute comparisons, but most breweries have a light beer equivalent and that's what I was aiming at.

I'm all for the things you mention but I'm not sure the differences are worth the cost to me, especially if I can get a tastier beer for the same price (i.e. a sixer of Easy Eddy from Big Grove is the same cost as their Boomtown Golden Ale)

Ok but that’s just what you prefer. A lot of people prefer lagers, pils, kolschs or whatever to an IPA and local ones are definitely better than the mass produced ones. But like I said in another post if you’re used to drinking those and that’s what you like then I’m not gonna rip on you for it.

Easy Eddy is an IPA that I can have a few of without feeling bloated.

A lot of craft pilsners are incredible.
