I’m having a bad [beer-related] time

Infected beer? Aged something you used to love into oblivion and kicking yourself about it? Has an enamel stripping sour experience got you down? Simply drank something god awful? Overdid it with a vertical and hating yourself for participating?

Here’s the thread for it. Not necessarily the I Hate Beer thread, but not far off

Finished my vacation with one last trip to the bottle shop to get more $8 2014 Calabaza Blanca, score! But decided I wanted to go out with a bang and sprung for a $70 BW/stout blend for a nitecap. Was decently good, but damn that was an expensive, shitty hangover for no reason. I had a bad time.
 
I still have a Batch 1 Atrial Rubicite that's probably gone to vinegar at this point but I refuse to open it like I'm Nigel Tufnel in Spinal Tap because the last one I had was one of the best beers I've ever had and I don't want to ruin that memory.

Schrödinger’s best beer he’s ever had. It’s both perfect and a drain pour until you open it. I have a 2005 Girardin 750 that I’m scared to open but just need to do it. Maybe I’ll ruin my bday next month with it :)
 
So my group pranks each other with old-ass Eclipses.

I have been hit with Eclipses multiple times:
- my glassware cabinet
- my workout bench
- my NSX trunk
- my Civic trunk
- behind the trash can in our guest bathroom
- some I'm forgetting
- and now, behind the plant in my living room (discovered on Easter)

These are generally 2010-2011 vintages. I'm starting to distrust anyone that enters the house. Absolute gut-wrencher when I see a bottle of this in my spaces.

This is absolutely brilliant all-around.

When I was in college I'd leave gas station Colt 45 32s in peoples' fridges as a joke.

(40s were illegal in Florida and I think they still might be. They're weird like that)

I'll always find it amusing that one of the biggest beer-related legal fights in Florida (to the point where the distributors were describing it as some kind of existential threat to their businesses) was over breweries being able to fill 64oz growlers rather than just 32oz or 128oz ones.

A decade later, and does anyone give a fuck about growlers of any size?

I barely see breweries even using their crowler machines anymore.

Good thing they had those during Covid though!

the bar I used to work at had so many Eclipse bottles from 09-12. they all held up pretty well for 5-7 years but I guess not anymore, which is not surprising.
