Connor should come out with a select version of "Proper #12" called "12 Stone"....: If you are an 11 stone man, have a 12 stone heart.

could you just stay on fucking topic for once?

Two come to mind for me. The first was a St Pauli Girl that, unbeknownst to me, had gone through a few heating and cooling cycles in the trunk of a car.

The second was a chili beer that tasted like a skunky budweiser with a jalapeño smashed into the bottle

Thankfully those are the only two super-shitty beers that I can really remember

After re-thinking this topic, I remember a distant memory from my childhood. I was about 5 or 6 yrs old, I thought it was fun to put salt in my dad's beer to watch it foam up a bit. He hated it. He finally got pissed and told me if I did it again, I'd finish the beer. Well... it happened.

I just remember drinking that foamy, salty, shitty Old Milwaukee Light or Milwaukee's Best realizing I made a mistake. I never did it again, but I remember my mom asking my Dad if he was trying to get his son drunk, because I smelled like beer. LOL. Ah the late 70's and early 80's were a good time to grow up.

Yes, damaging a 6 year old developing brain must have been hilarious back in the 70s.

damaging the brain? if done in moderation, it's not bad. My dad used to give me and my bro Guiness and wine when we were kids. Obviously never the full bottle. Just 2 sips here and there.

I don't get the chocolate/maple syrup, chili-cheese jalapeño beer fad. Is that like wine tasting for sophisticated red necks?

Yeah, it wasn't the whole beer and I don't believe I have brain damage. Although some could probably say that's debatable, but I'd blame the multiple concussions from football in the late 80's and early 90's.

Pick your poison. You must live a very protected/perfect life. Congrats.

It was called raising your own children, and if they weren't yours it was called minding your own fucking business.

Is it at all weird that one of my "best beer" memories was with one of the "worst beers?"

I was under twenty one and working in a pizza joint and as we were closing one of the guys went and got some bud ice and put them in the walk in. He gave me two of them after close and a buddy and I drank them in front of his house. At the time I thought it was amazing, but looking back it was awful beer.

I guess that explains it. Probably grew up wearing a helmet riding a bike and not drinking out of a garden hose. I'm doomed for an early death. I blame my parents.

You do know what drinking Coors light and having sex in a canoe have in common right?

They're both fucking near water.

Funny you bring up coors light...........

30 ish years ago (dating myself), me and my partner (more of a hobby for us, not to be confused with a business) owned several harness horses in a stable. (good times, just before Indian casinos single handedly wiped out the sport). I bring this up because he owned a local beer distributorship that had the local rights to Coors, as well as that gawd awful zima (Bortles and Jajmes as well). Good times, but getting off topic here, must be the codeine kicking in.....

I remember when my dad would bring Coors light back to Illinois with us to give to a friend because they didn't distribute East of the Mississippi.

They did the same thing with Strohs West of the Mississippi, think it had to do with "grass is always greener" mentality as neither beer was particularly good.

Fantasy Factory IPA

Me and a buddy saw the box sitting on a shelf @ Piggly Wiggly in Wisconsin. Had a picture of a pistol wielding cat riding a rearing unicorn with rainbows and shit in the background. We figured we just had to try it. Well, it was my first (and last) IPA... terribly bitter.

To be fair, I didn't know bitterness was an IPA characteristic. The beer itself seems to get pretty good reviews, but I still don't think it's a taste I could ever acquire.
