I just bought a case of beer and it was just awful, even though it was in a can and it tasted fucking awful.

Code on bottom says :

H20642

1012RB

The case says

H20642

1124C

i tried looking for format help but couldn't find anything that matched

Its a molson product if it helps.

cheers.

6.99 + tax, cold, at my local gas station. Always one of my favorite cheap options.

Edit: Thanks so much for all the advice and recs, I will definitely check them out! Upon further research I think it might’ve just been a bad batch, will definitely keep an eye (or tongue) out for that in the future!

Hi all,

Posting here because I feel like I’m going insane and need to know if anyone else has had a similar experience. Went to 3 Brasseurs, a chain brewery in Montreal (I went to the Vieux Port location). First time in Montreal, no issue with any other beer here including some local brews. First beer was their standard lager, which had an extremely strong cereal grain flavor that I’ve never experienced in a beer before. I was immediately not a fan, but I thought “OK, this is my bad, as it was advertised as “céréaleé”. Finished it mostly out of politeness and decided to play it safe with their version of a NEIPA, something I’m very familiar with since I’m from New England. This was even worse than the first. Still had the same crazy strong cereal grain flavor, but when mixed with the fruitiness of an IPA it genuinely tasted like drinking a liquefied stale cigarette. Not trying to shit on Montreal or Quebec beer as this was a total one-off experience, but just genuinely curious if anyone has had a similar experience at this particular place or any other. I’m not picky about beer and can mostly drink whatever even if it’s not something I’m super into, but never before in my life have I had a beer that was so off-putting. Is it possible that this was a bad batch? I’m not really familiar with the brewing process or what signs to look out for in that regard. Anyway sorry for the long-winded post, any input would be greatly appreciated to put my mind at ease!

Over in Ireland here, have worked in bars and would consider myself maybe a little snobby about beer although not really 😂. Our beer is pretty good here especially draught, though not too big a fan of bottled and canned beer just not really the same. Had a mate just back from New York there and asked him to grab a can of Coors Banquet for me, just always wanted to try it for some reason probably here, plus the can is cool so. Anyway just after cracking it open and really surprised at how good it is. On par with pints I’ve had of draught, fairplay. Actually a bit annoyed because I can’t get it over here 😂 if you’s would have any recommendation for something I can get over here would appreciate.

Which style/type of beer do you like the most? Which do you hate/like the least? Why do you like/hate these type/style of beer?

I recently started drinking craft beer and I like stouts and new england hazy IPAs and dont like west coast style IPAs.

I like clean tasting lagers like Miller, Heineken, Asahi, and Corona, but those self-proclaimed beer experts always tell me that they’re not good. All they ever recommend are these super bitter beers I’ve never heard of or even seen at grocery stores. They’re bitter as hell, like drinking cold syrup. Why do they think only bitter beers are considered good beer?

Anyone ever notice that calling a beer “light” could have 3 different meanings? Is there a correct definition, or is it all just context dependent?

1) Light beer with light (or lite) in the title. A beer specifically brewed to have minimal carbs. ie. Coors light, Busch light, Miller lite

2) A beer with an ABV on the lower side

3) Light in appearance with a lighter color

This is going to be a long shot so here it goes...buddy of mine is getting married and his favorite beer of all-time is Redhook ESB. His fiance and I want to surprise him with it, however it seems as though it is impossible to get if you don't live near the state of Washington. I live in Columbus, Ohio and my buddy lives in Newark, NJ. Any help/suggestions on how to get my hands on any of it? I tried delivery orders from multiple sites and even the Redhook finder to no avail. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated for my pal as a wedding gift. Thank you in advance.
