I bought a six-pack of Sierra Nevada Torpedo. I tried one and poured the rest down the sink.
I wish we lived next door; I would have taken that Blue Moon off your hands. : )
Don’t even want to know out of where Caveman Ogg pulled his yeast culture.
Yuk!
Or is that stoned by aged brew?
If so, I want in. ‘Pod.

Wheat Beer needs a lemon squeeze, like ice tea.
Did you try it with a lemon?
Many prefer a slice of orange. No beer deserves to be poured down the drain and I’ve brewed some real losers over the last couple of decades. What people are saying in this thread is akin to saying, “I tried a Busch and concluded that I hate barley beers”.
Thank you!
Please put me on that list too. This fall I’m going to start my own home brewing.
Yep, a slice of citrus is just what a wheat beer needs.
I just love Hefeweizen beer...cloudier the better. Ha!
As long as they made it tearing a page right out of history.
And I think it might have been a Rolling Bedrock or something.
I added you to the Homebrewing Wine Making ping list.
You bought the absolute worst kind of wheat beer you could possibly buy. There are other wheat beers that are better, although they are not as good as barley ale IMO.
BTW, all wheat beer is ale, not lager...in case you didn’t already know that. As far as I know there is no such thing as wheat lager. I have never come across any so far. The german tradition is to ale all wheat beers, and in germany, wheat beer is considered a health-drink for senior citizens. Young people never touch it.
“BTW, all wheat beer is ale...” Yes I know.
OMG!
Beer battered shrimp, fish, mushrooms, zuccinni all make crappy beer worth saving!
You are probably a lager fan more than an ale fan. If you are a lager guy and are going to try out an ale I suggest a kolsch from germany. I don’t mean a kolsch style beer from america, but a real kolsch german beer. You need to work your way up to a heavy wheat beer and even once you get there you can only drink so much of it. 2 wheat beers in a sitting is probably the limit for most peoples’ palates. Then they will either quit drinking or switch to something cleaner and crisper.
I have been brewing ales for awhile now. I like what I have brewed so far. Especially the stouts, porters and a honey ale I brewed a couple of months ago, which I will have 2 or 3 this evening. I have liked all the Blue Moon ales I have tried except that Wheat ale.
“And I think it might have been a Rolling Bedrock or something.”
(Oof) Anyway, you’re breaking my heart. Rolling Rock was my grandfather’s favorite & I drank it for years until they closed the Old Latrobe brewery & moved it to New Joisey.
FOR SHAME!!!
Should have baited slug/snail traps in the garden with it. Or used it to spray aphids. ;-')
At the Cyclones games, I'll have a Brooklyn Beer or Samuel Addams summer ale.
When I'm out listening to a particular Irish group I like over in old tavern over on Stone Street, I'll have a couple of pints of Guinness.
If I'm at a friend's house and they're being sociable (and I'm not driving), I drink whatever the hell they have and be gracious and grateful.
