Hehe, exactly. I used to live a couple miles from the brewery - in fact, I was the first chick to rate a personalized glass at the tasting room, back when the tasting room fit about 15 people max. And yeah, the St. Vrain is bigger than a drainage ditch, but not much.
Good beer, though. Very, very good beer.
I’m agreeable.
How about making our own:
Beitz Brewing presents: Pist Off Pisner. (75% alcohol). “Because it’s better to be Pist off than Pist on!” 
Believe it or not, I just took the tour of the Minhas brewery 2 weeks ago. We were bumming around on that side of the state and thought “why not?”.
The brewery used to be Huber brewing which was founded in 1845. (and yes, the Huber work release program is named after the brewery that allowed prisoners to come and work there in the early part of the last century)
I don’t get why Minhas gets to brag they’ve been around since 1845 just because the bought the brewery. Most (not all) of the Huber brews have been discontinued. Just as well, though. They were as bad, if not worse, than most of the stuff Minhas makes. A few of the brews Minhas makes are okay and I’m still glad we took the tour. 4 pints before the tour, 4 pints after, and a 6 pack of craft brew on the way out.
It truly is bad, but if it is THE worst beer you’ve ever had then you need to drink more variety of beer. Unfortunately there are far, far worse beers out there.:eek::(:mad:
‘anno 1340’ Brand bier
The Popol Vuh, the sacred book of the Maya, unfolds a complex web of mystery around a beverage known as xocoatl (ch-co-atle). At Southern Tier, we’re not surprised that hieroglyphs of the ancient Maya depict chocolate being poured for rulers and gods. Even through the many voyages of Columbus, the mystical bean remained nothing more than a strange currency of the native peoples.
Moving through centuries, the circular journey of cacao has been realized in our brewing house, encompassing the complexity of the darkest, bitter-sweet candy together with the original frothy cold beverage of the ancient Maya to bring to you our Blackwater Series Choklat Stout. We have combined the finest ingredients to tempt your senses & renew the power & interrelation of history in every bottle.

“Our Genuine Taste Since 1950”
Goldstar. Not the most creative slogan (and not really that old for a beer), but still damn good for a mass-market brew.

Speaking of Olympia, i’ll go with Fish Tale, a local microbrew which now operates the steam whistle that used to sound from the Olympia brewery at 5 PM every day, and now sounds from their headquarters on Jefferson St.;
“Brewed in the Republic of Cascadia”.
sit beside truman as a childhood buddy, hold the can out and say. “now that’s a good beer.”
So called because of the “ruinous” effect on your palate!
Stone Ruination IPA.
I just assumed that they made a really big batch back in 1845 and have been using that. Hilarious that you’ve been there, though!
Aside from lambics, I don’t see how it could get any worse than this. First sip and I had a violent reaction to the taste. Couldn’t finish one of them, and I’ve choked down my fair share of bad beer in the past.
While I agree with the second half of your post, it’s not at all inappropriate to highlight the quality of the water that goes into the beer. Even if you’re brewing a dark, malty, high-alcohol beer, the resultant drink is still 90+% water. One of the reasons Burton-on-Trent became a big brewing town was because of the water quality - it had just the right mix of minerals to create a tasty beer.

Pabst Blue Ribbon. Except that I don’t want you to drink my beer. Yes, I bought this 18 pack for just me. Who the hell doesn’t know what BYOB means?

It’s the best beer-flavored water around! It won’t slow you down because it’s just water, with a hint of beer.
I’m having one now.
It’s in the stream, boy! That’s why it’s yellow!
Yes, for a particular type of beer. Pilseners, for example, do best with soft water. Burton-on-Trent’s water, for instance, is very hard and high in sulfates, which goes well with pale ales (at least English-style pale ales.)
